With a name like hers, it’s no wonder Charity Bell has dedicated her life to raising more than 70 Boston-area children who are often HIV positive or drug-addicted. Eight years ago, at the age of 24, Bell found her calling when she learned of a need for foster parents while volunteering at a local hospital. After 10 weeks of training, including background checks and a home study, she got her first charge: a 24-hour-old, drug-addicted newborn boy weighing only four and a half pounds. She comforted him for three months and hasn’t turned her back on foster children since.
