His dad died this year — on Mother's Day. His mom is in a nursing home, living with a rare neurological disorder.

他的父亲今年在母亲节去世了。他的母亲住在一家养老院，患有一种罕见的神经系统疾病。

因此，27岁的他独自一人住在佛罗里达州奥兰多的家中。

But he has an unlikely connection with someone else whose life was touched by tragedy: his favorite superhero.

He saves animals in distress.

"Everybody just really likes the Dark Knight," Van Dorn tells MNN. "I thought that would be the perfect way to embody what I want my nonprofit to be. To do good deeds. To spread positive vibes, bring joy to people and rescue as many animals as I can."

“每个人都非常喜欢《黑暗骑士》，”范多恩告诉MNN。“我认为这将是体现我希望我的非营利组织成为什么的完美方式：做好事，传播积极的氛围，给人们带来快乐，尽我所能拯救更多的动物。”
