Stories of Kindness from Around the World

Don't Take Anything For Granted


--by pattipleonard, posted Feb 25, 2015
I was racing around making a six figure income when I suffered a bursted brain aneurysm. Over a five year period I lost everything that I had worked for - home, savings and career and having to do a bankruptcy.

I am humbled and also grateful for being able to live. During this time I went into kidney failure - and a dear childhood friend has offered me her kidney! Can you believe this gift??!

Life is so delicate and precious. Walk softly.
