They have appeared on the Fox News Afilliate as Connecticut heroes for their work with at risk teenagers.
When Troy and Carmela found out they couldn't have children. They were devastated, it really hurt them to the core of their being . Then they decided to seek God and ask for help to fill this void in their life,
I can still remember their faces when they received their first two children. You may have
thought that they were waiting for each other for years. The kids got the home they always wanted. And Troy and Carmela had the kids they always wanted.
Troy and Carmela made the first night in their home a special night for every child that passed through.
They put forth standards for how every one should behave, according to the beautitudes in rhe book of Matthew. Then they threw a party to wecolme the children home as part of the family.

Troy and his twin brother, Todd were born in Easton, Pa. to Robert A. Shafer and Velma R. Shafer on Saturday September 2nd in 1961. They also have two older half sisters, Doreen and Donna Meyers. They were all raised in Avona Heights back in the 1960's. Then moved to Williams Township in the summer of 1970. We had great neighbors like Bob and Barbara Wolfinger and their children Dale and Brenda. The Melcherts lived two houses up the street. Their Children Matthew, Andy, and Steven were best friends.
Some of our favorite times were spent down at Mueser Park where there was one large swimming pool with two diving boards, and a high altitude 60 foot diving board. There was a big concessions stand and I can still remember the music playing during the summers of 1964 thru 1969.
Then moved out to Williams Township in the fall of 1970. Troy and Todd loved doing two things, playing wiffle ball in the back yard and butterfly hunting in the fields of Raubsbsville, PA.
