There’s a poignant story in the Post today about a tragic automobile accident that critically injured a woman, Elizabeth Marchman, and killed her young son and pre-born daughter. The loss to her and her family is heart-wrenching, but there is an uplifting aspect of this story. The retired firefighters who pulled her from her burning car and 128 other community members all turned up to donate blood for her. Not only that, but neighbors have established a fund to help cover Mrs. Marchman’s medical bills and burial costs for her two lost children.
It’s hard to be cynical when reading a story like this. Her community rallied – took action – to provide tangible and needed help in this time of crisis. Some of the donors waited two hours to give blood. Shows there is some good in this world. Read the full story here.
