NASHVILLE, Tenn. (WZTV) — An East Tennessee man has a very personal reason for trying to help orphans in Ukraine.
Alex Fourie lives in Tennessee, but he wasn’t born here.
Alex Fourie weighed 34 ½ pounds when he came to America at the age of 7.
"The only thing we really ate was soup," said Fourie, "and it's really hard to eat soup with a hole in your mouth."
