At 14 I was left to raise my 6-year-old brother until the system tore us apart

At 14, Brad promised his little brother Samuel they’d be together again. After years of working multiple jobs, juggling night school, and preparing a small apartment with love, he fought to prove he could give Samuel a real home.

The system called him too young, said love wasn’t enough—but Brad never gave up. With help from a kind landlady and support from Samuel’s foster mom, he turned hope into action.

At the final hearing, Brad stood tall and said, “I can give him a safe and loving home.”

The judge agreed.

Samuel ran into his arms. They were finally together.

“Pizza to celebrate?” Brad asked.

“YES!” Samuel grinned—and just like that, they were home.
