Compassion, Hope and the Power Living - BY: Donald Latham

Hi. My name is Donald Latham, and Living is so Big.

I'm Donald Latham and I was born in the Islands of the Phillipines. My Dad is from the United States and he served in the Airforce in the Southeast Asia Tour during the Vietnam War in Thailand where he met my mother. I was discovered by my parents when my birth mother could not keep me and got me connected through a friend who was working on the base in the Phillipines. My mother and father adopted me and brought me to the US to have an American Life full of possibilities and hope in becoming successful in living the "American Dream."

Through the years I have always been involved in volunteering and community events, I love to travel and most of all I found my passion for photography which led to many open doors where I met many fascinating people from different walks of life. I love giving the gift of memory, especially those who are getting married, celebrating life, and having babies. I believe in the power of emotion where I can capture a moment in time and give that back to someone who will cherish it for years.

I now am an avid member of the NC Military Veterans Partnership Program and Helping support homeless veterans through Operation Freedom Dream as I give back and share hope as well as educate others on giving these veterans a chance to live, grow and rebuild their confidence to go back out into the world and start a new life. Working with the Agudos has touched my heart, They equally share the power of love and a compassion for life as the journey across the US as missionaries touching the lives of many children, communities and people of all races. Thanks for what you do, because "Living is So Big"

-Donald
