Before being struck by tragedy, Bobbie-Jo Floyd lived a happy married life with two sons. Her husband, Andre Floyd, died in a motorcycle accident on October 19, 2014, leaving her devastated, as reported by People.
Bobbie-Jo experienced pangs of self-pity as she engulfed herself in a ball on the floor during the following months. According to her, she was afraid to begin without her beloved husband.
Two years after Andre's death, Bobby-Jo released balloons in Philadelphia's Penn's Landing along with her two sons, Jeremai and Elyjah. That day, Bobby-Jo received a life-changing call from child welfare workers.

She was asked whether she's willing to foster two sisters. Bobby-Jo, whose interest in becoming a foster parent had piqued nearly a year ago, immediately embraced the idea.
One day, the social workers visited Bobby-Jo in Philadelphia with Destiny and Serenity. Apart from the girls, Lysander, their little brother, came along on the trip as well.
Lysander was going to be dropped off at a different location, Bobby-Jo told People. She then asked the workers if they would let the boy stay if she could get another bed for him. Fortunately, they agreed.
Bobby-Jo's persistence with social workers and the court led to the adoption of three additional siblings, Honesty, Adrian, and August.
After that, she built a lasting relationship. Following a successful adoption in February of 2020 of the four youngest children, she completed the adoption of the two older children in May 2021.
It's all a sign from her late husband, Bobby-Jo told People. According to her, Andre knew exactly what keeps her going.
