I support H.R. 2873 because it recognizes the importance of a loving and stable family in the life of a child. While many Americans, such as myself, have been blessed to grow up in loving families, there are too many that do not have such a family. Recognizing this fact and the need for a loving, nurturing and disciplined home in the life of a child, Truett Cathy, the founder and CEO of Chik-Fil-A restaurants, established WinShape Homes in 1987. Mr. Cathy started WinShape Homes to provide a loving, nurturing home for those children who are victims of circumstances and need a stable, secure family environment in which to grow and mature. Since 1987, WinShape Homes have served over 250 children. Currently, there are approximately 125 children in WinShape's eleven homes. These homes strive to meet all the physical, emotional, and spiritual needs of the children, and they stress character building, manners, proper dress, and hygiene.
