During my journey to Sierra Leone, I felt the gears shift into place. When I stepped outside of my own pain and witnessed the suffering of others, and in particular the young girl, I was not able to separate myself from her sorrow. I knew that my heart had finally been ripped open, and I had moved past my mind and into my emotions. The image of the young girl begging me to rescue her daughter has haunted me ever since. As she turned from me and walked away, fully believing that I would take her child, I continued to weep. She wanted to entrust her baby to me, but I couldn’t do what she requested. At home in Omaha, I was a father to four children. I saw her pain. I wanted to help, but the matter was out of my hands. Finally after regaining composure, I handed her baby to the director of the refugee camp. That day I had faced an impossible situation my corporate success, connections, or wealth couldn’t solve.
