Twenty-two years ago, Sean Hannity—then a relatively unknown host on a small local stage—made a decision that would forever change three lives.

It was a rainy evening. After wrapping up a local show taping, Hannity took a walk near the set to clear his mind. As a sudden downpour rolled in, he rushed toward the nearest shelter—a closed convenience store. That’s when he saw them: two small children huddled behind a dumpster, shivering and soaked.

Two Abandoned Girls in the Cold

It was a heartbreaking sight—twin girls, no older than four, curled up behind a trash bin. Thin, drenched, and trembling from the cold, they looked around with frightened eyes, completely alone in the world.

Sean immediately sprang into action. He called the police and held the girls close to keep them warm until help arrived. Authorities soon confirmed the devastating truth: the twins had been abandoned. There were no parents, no relatives, and no one searching for them.

The girls were taken into care, and after no family could be located, they were placed into the foster system.
