I read that earlier and was immensely cheered by it. Fantastic woman!

How beautiful

Thanks tea. Read this this morning and it did put a smile on my face. Thanks for sharing!

That's a lovely story. Thanks for posting. I'm feeling a bit gloomy and it cheered me up. I know what having help to achieve your potential feels like. I've had a support worker for several months and she's changed my life.

What a woman!

What a wonderful woman

Brava! fabulous and inspiring.

That was heartening. There are so many people who fall through the cracks and never have a chance. I hope her charity does well.

I also love her proper purple hair :D

How lovely.
It reminds me of the guy who invented insulin and sold the patent for $1 to benefit mankind.
But that didn't turn out so well, with absolute price gouging by U.S. pharmaceuticals to this day.
