This is so touching. I have a friend who donated stem cells. It’s not an easy process but it’s very rewarding. Also, becoming an organ donor is a gift of life. My son passed last year and saved 70 lives, with organs and skin cells. I’m a proud donor mom🙏🏼🪽In California there are 20,000 people just waiting. 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Thank you Debbie so much for sharing this. I can only imagine the depth of love and strength it takes to carry such a profound loss. Your son's legacy is truly extraordinary , saving 70 lives is beyond heroic. You are a brave and generous soul, and I honour you both. Thank you for reminding us of the life changing impact of donation . Your words and your son's story will stay with me!🥹🙏❤️
Debbie, thank you for your inspiring story. And how fortunately that you get to see the lives of others through your son generously contributions to humanity. Thank you for having a magnificent and unselfishness son. Thank you.
Irene what a most beautiful heartwarming story. It truly is a miracle when community comes together to help. Thank God they were able to find a match. Thank you for sharing!!!💜💜💜
Thank you Kathleen this is a story that touched me many years ago when I first heard about it and was reminded again of it when I saw that little Oscar just celebrated his 11th birthday. I was so moved by it that I had to share. 🥹🙏💜
I'm really grateful it touched you. Stories like his remind us how resilient the human spirit can be and how love and support from others can make the impossible, possible.
Beautiful story of solidarity. One of Calgary's extraordinary moments was the flood of 2013. Businesses and individuals all pulled together in the aftermath to help each other recover. Miraculously, the Stampede was able to open on the first Friday in July, even though the grounds, barns, and arenas were fully submerged at the peak of the flooding. Those efforts saved many thousands of jobs and businesses both small and large.
Thank you so much for your kind words. His story truly moved me, it's a powerful reminder of how much hope, strength, and community can achieve.
I'm so glad it touched you as well Karen and thank you for sharing your story about Alberta . Another great example of what a wonderful community can do. It gives me goosebumps 🥹❤️
Irene… We so often see stories of communities coming together as one in times of need that it helps maintain the belief that there are still good people in this world. Look at what happens during & after natural disasters. Often, people in communities worst affected only have each other to rely on until rescue workers can arrive & that’s when you see total strangers helping their fellow townspeople out in any way they can. THAT’S the world I like to live in ✊😌🌅
So true Gerard , It's incredible how one soul can show up and change everything, like they were sent just for that moment. Grateful for earth, side angels and good people in the communities!
Being a “territory” girl yourself, you’d have no doubt seen or heard about what happened in the aftermath of Cyclone Tracy in Darwin back in the 70’s & how people banded together to help each other out. Granted, resources were severely limited back then, but nowadays, the story would be different. More recently, our Black Summer bushfires on the east coast in 2019 / 2020. The only “good” that came out of them was seeing the PM get completely & utterly humiliated on live tv during his infamous meet & greet sessions with survivors in NSW towns 😆😆😆. Locals helped each other out with what little they had, but understandably, they lost their proverbial shit when they saw ScoMo holidaying in Hawaii 🤨🤨🤨
Thank you Gerard , another great example. I was only two years old when cyclone Tracy struck. I have actually wrote a post about this back in December when it was the 50th anniversary of cyclone Tracy. If you have a moment please read it and listen to the song I included about cyclone 🌀 Tracy .
That’s true Juli , Oscars story truly touched me years ago and I was truly touched to see recently that he is doing well and celebrated his 11th birthday.
There have been so many moments in my life that I've witnessed a community getting together for a cause that is special to their hearts. And what I've learned is that the human spirits are more alike than not alike. Irene, thank you for the conversation. Thank you.

I do remember reading it & will happily go back to take another look & listen ✌️😌
Thank you for sharing this. Very touching story.
You’re most welcome Sheila, this story really touched and just wanted to share it as a reminder to everyone.
All that was needed was ONE angel in human form… Thankfully, that very angel descended from the heavens at just the right time 🙏😇❤️
This is such a special story. Thank you for sharing. Miracles can start with community.

This is what many in body one in mind looks like, coming together for the same cause. Irene, thank you for sharing. Thank you.
