WHY THIS STORY MATTERS
Some people change the world without ever becoming famous.
Jeremy "Jerry" and Margaret "Peg" Gorman were two of those people.
As a frightened thirteen-year-old orphan, I arrived at 5 Cedar Hill Road searching for a place to belong.
I found something far greater.
I created this website to honor the legacy of Jeremy "Jerry" and Margaret "Peg" Gorman—Mom and Dad to me—and to leave one light on for someone who may need it today.
Ordinary people. Extraordinary compassion.
