Newlyweds Marcus and Lupe Rivera have decided to open Lemon Creek's first orphanage. They converted most of their living space to a huge bedroom/playroom with child friendly decorations.
Two children are already registered. A six year old boy, Charlie, and two year old girl, Penny, are now calling the Rivera residence home.
"It's always been my dream to have many children," said Lupe. "But Marc and I can't have any children. This is our way to be able to raise and love little ones, and we're giving back to the community, too."
Her husband also spoke to us. "I'm sad that we even need a local orphanage, but there you go. We hope we won't ever have to turn a child away.
