The 70 foster kids spent five days bracing the impact of Hurricane Irma in emergency shelters.
But after the storm was over, their foster care community had lost power and they had nowhere to go.
"At noon yesterday, we got a phone call from the SOS Children's Village Florida saying we need help," millionaire Marc Bell told CBS 12. “‘We've been evicted from our shelters and we don't know where to bring the kids, and we're not getting any help from the county, what do I do?’ And I said ‘bring them here.’”
Bell, a former executive of adult magazine Penthouse, is on the board of the children’s shelter. He and his wife Jennifer said the decision was a no-brainer.

Pretty sure he’d be watched extra closely.
Just a guy trying to do a good thing.
Maybe Larry Flynt (The Hustler ‘Gentleman’s’ Mag) will do the same thing if he’s still around.
God works in mysterious ways. Often times working through the ones we would least expect him to use.
We are all imperfect people and there is no sense in disparaging this man and his family for doing good.
Just make sure the kids are chaperoned.
I did not disparage him. I just said I will not make any assumptions.
i know. It was a general statement not directed at you.
Wow...people on this thread are just about accusing the guy of being a pedophile...
He can teach them all about women.
I actually looked this guy up. He is an entrepreneur who knows how to make money. There is nothing I could find that would make him into a disparaging person.
I’m impressed. Hurricanes have a way of bringing out the best in people, but this is waaaaay beyond the that...
I LOVE that place. I used to teach there.
I LOVE that place. I used to teach there. (SOS)
we are all sinners and continue to sin till the day we die so when some one use the grace that god gave us to do good in there life I can not criticize. I am betting that him and his wife are spoiling those kids and as hard as life is for kids in foster care that is that is great thing for them.
He's 74.
It's always good if the Wikipedia discusses you in the present tense.
Good deeds won’t get him into Heaven.
Jesus made it clear good deeds count for nothing when trying to get into Heaven.
Is there some reason they didn’t do the obvious and contact a church or synagogue?
