Having 25 Kids Wasn’t Enough For This Mom Who Travels The World Doing Good
Most people think it’s a typo when they read that Holly Tree Richardson has 25 children. It’s not.
Everyone would agree that raising 25 kids is enough, but not her. She served in the Utah House of Representatives and has been a political activist for decades. She is now a newspaper columnist and works for a nonprofit in Utah as well.
Recently, she visited Bangladesh to see how she and her organization could help the nearly 1 million Rohingya people who are now living in a refugee camp, having just escaped genocide with only their lives. She’s returning next week to start delivering relief.
