Gardena resident Erma L. Dozier has been a mother to a hundred children, literally.She and her husband, Pastor Larry of The New Earth Christian Church (TNECC), have been foster parents the past 30 years. Along with their own two children, they’ve been parents to more than 100 children in their Gardena home.
It was the First Lady’s idea to become foster parents. Pastor Larry said, “I admit that I had to think twice about it, but her heart was set on it, so I relented and said, ‘Ok, let’s give it a try.’ It’s been one of the most rewarding experiences I’ve ever had.”
