12 years ago, Malachi Coleman and his sister were left on the side of the road by his mother.

She never returned.

They entered the foster care system and were eventually adopted by a loving family. But they suffered years of abuse.

Now, the star wide receiver at Lincoln East High School will be playing college football for the University of Nebraska.

Using his star power in the community, Malachi started right away to help others.
