Nine years ago, Pam Cope owned a cozy hair salon in the
tiny town of Neosho, Missouri, and her life revolved around
her son's baseball games, her daughter's dance lessons, and
family trips to places like Disney World. She had never
been out of the country, nor had she any desire to travel
far from home. Then, on June 16th, 1999, her life changed forever with the
death of her 15-year-old son from an undiagnosed heart
ailment. Needing to get as far away as possible from everything that
reminded her of her loss, she accepted a friend's
invitation to travel to Vietnam, and, from the moment she
stepped off the plane, everything she had been feeling
since her son's death began to shift. By the time she
returned home, she had a new mission: to use her pain to
change the world, one small step at a time, one child at a
time. Today, she is the mother of two children adopted from
Vietnam. More than that, she and her husband have created a
foundation called "Touch A Life," dedicated to helping
desperate children in countries as far-flung as Vietnam,
Cambodia and Ghana. Pam Cope's story is on one level a moving, personal account
of loss and recovery, but on a deeper level, it offers
inspiration to anyone who has ever suffered great personal
tragedy or those of us who dream about making a difference
in the world.
