For the Love of a Child background

For the Love of a Child

Two trailblazing actresses established a revolutionary charity home in the 1950s, giving a secure refuge to neglected and ostracized children of mixed heritage, rejected by the community they longed for love and inclusion from.

In 1959, two actresses, supported by US troops and later the US government, launch a charity for mixed-race "orphans" who are shunned by their local communities. This charity, Childhelp, eventually establishes multi-disciplinary centers for abused and neglected children in the US. One of these children is Jacob Fletcher, a bright and traumatized boy whose stepfather, a lawyer, had terrorized him. After serving 10 months in jail, Jacob's stepfather tries to reclaim him.
