Pat Bradley stared out the back car window at seventy displaced people huddling together under a few trees to escape the blistering African heat. They had fled their village in South Sudan in the middle of the night as it was destroyed amid a bloody civil war that had indiscriminately claimed the lives of young and old family members alike. As these desperate, mourning survivors became smaller in the back window, they grew ever bigger in Pat’s heart. He knew they wouldn’t survive unless someone did something--and quickly. But he was just a normal guy--a formerly divorced recovering alcoholic who worked at an ad agency. What could he possibly do? From that moment forward, Pat Bradley refused to do nothing.
