About this title

Synopsis

Twelve Children. Four Countries. Two Capitalists. One Story. Debut author J.D. Vermaas confronts autism, human trafficking, capitalism, and conventional methods of “doing good” in this brutally honest adoption memoir. With the heart of The Blindside and the fearless “do love” philosophy of Bob Goff’s Dream Big, Get Money Do Good tells this family’s epic journey to a dozen children. Having become successful in business beyond their wildest dreams, Drs. Garry and Jodi Vermaas embraced a deeply felt responsibility to do the most good possible. Having a son with autism spurred them to rescue 11 more children out of slavery and sexual exploitation. From Southern India, across China, and to the Philippines, they endured government opposition, financial ruin, broken bones, and children who—they were told—might never love them back. Face-to-face with fierce opposition, wild success, and unthinkable heartbreak, J.D. Vermaas takes you on a life-altering journey that challenges everything you know about altruism. Her action-packed memoir illustrates a life of relentless faith while showing you how to change the world one messy story at a time.

Get Money Do Good: A True Story How-To

Disruptors, entrepreneurs, and unconventional do-gooders, Drs. Jodi and Garry Vermaas are not the people you would expect to parent 12 children.

From the child-trafficking slums of Manila to the barren corners of Inner Mongolia to the baggage compartment of a long-distance train to Mumbai, each of their children has a tale to tell--if only they could find the words.

Follow Dr. Jodi Vermaas, multi-millionaire CEO Dr. Garry Vermaas, and their expanding family on a ten-year journey across the globe to discover what really matters.

Face-to-face with fierce opposition, wild success, and unthinkable heartbreak, author Dr. Jodi Vermaas takes you on a life-altering journey that promises to challenge everything you know about altruism.

Told through the eyes of Jodi and her husband, their first-born son with autism, and their eldest daughter from the Philippines, this action-packed memoir shows you one family's attempt to change the world one messy story at a time.
