My neighbor Andi, "There's always room for somebody," she said. "There's enough love to go around."
I am so proud of my neighbor and her family. I make 'em some meals @ times. The kids and their mother walked the
length of Mexico to escape the violence that killed their father.
'A soft place to settle': Clintonville family fosters unaccompanied minors from Honduras
At first, Andi Mocharski was intimidated by the idea of fostering older children, especially those who weren't fluent in English.
The Clintonville mother of four adopted children had only ever fostered younger kids who grew up speaking English, and the ones she was about to welcome into her home were a 10-year-old girl and a 14-year-old boy from Honduras.
But it was more than that: They were unaccompanied minors who crossed the U.S-Mexico border alone. Their mom was still living in a camp there, and their father had been murdered.

The kids oohed and aahed over the holiday turkey, reveled in hiking at Hocking Hills and found joy in the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium and the Franklin Park Conservatory.
They jumped on the family's trampoline, went to the local skatepark and dressed up with Mocharski's children — Jack, 7; 12-year-old twins Noah and Adam; and Caroline, 16 — asking Mocharski to draw lightning bolts on their foreheads and saying spells, magic wand in hand, just like Harry Potter.
Ch 6 in Columbus will have a special on them tomorrow night @ 6 PM.
