U.S. has 1.5+ Million Homeless Children and 1000+ Military Bases around the World

This actions of this woman not only touched the life of the abandoned children she saved, but the families those children ended up becoming a part of, her community, and anyone with a heart that reads her tale. There needs to be more people like here in the world...People who will sacrifice everything the have, when they have so little, to help a fellow human being.

This woman deserves a place of honor in the afterlife.

'I realised if we had strength enough to collect garbage how could we not recycle something as important as human lives,' she explained.

Yes, why?

Never compromise. Not even in the face of Armageddon.

Are you kidding me? There's videos on Youtube and pics everywhere of American mothers giving their children booze, and many news stories to boot about abandoned children in the States. Hell, it even happens here in Canada. Reality check is needed.

At least they have food stamps?

This selfless person shames us all...........................
The next question i want answered is how do so many children get left by the roadside to die in China or anywhere else for that matter?

reply to post by stirling


Probably for the same reason children are left on the side of the road, literally or figuratively, in my country (the U.S.). Incapable people who had no idea they'd also be an incapable parent.

I'm thinking about the Nobel Prize. People like her are noble in every possible sense of the word.

With the blistering heat in the US, food prices will go through the roof.

People have won for far FAR less. How is this not major news?! She should be a household name.
