I was watching a segment of his daughter on fox, she has seizures and lives in a home. She is developmentally delayed because of the seizures. She is really quite a talented painter and is encouraged by the people at the home to paint as well as learn to care for herself. She has grown quite a bit in the 8 years since she has lived there.
All politics aside, I found it a rather heartwarming story. The people who go to the home pay whatever they can afford, the rest is covered by donations and government grants. Please check out the link to the home and if you feel the urge, please donate as a lot of their funding comes from donations. The sister who runs the home seems like a wonderful person who cares for these people dearly. It was a positively sweet story.
