House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, R-Texas, the tough and aggressive legislative leader known as 'The Hammer,' has a softer side. He and his wife, Christine DeLay, have raised three foster children and are committed to helping abused and neglected kids.
To that end, the DeLays 19 years ago founded the DeLay Foundation for Kids. Since 2002, the foundation's biggest goal has been to build a prototype residential care facility for foster children on 50 acres it owns in Fort Bend County, Texas, in suburban Houston. When the project, to be known as the Oaks at Rio Bend, was announced in 2002, Christine DeLay said she hoped the $7 million facility eventually would be supported by the Fort Bend County community."
