While at Devonshire mall food court an older woman was in distress, two young woman , whom I identified as nurses took control and probably saved this elderly woman's life!!! Fantastic ladies!!! God bless you for your service. I am certain the woman's daughter was grateful.
To the man who stopped his car at the busy corner of Goyeau and Erie. (on wednesday) and got out to assist a man in a wheelchair who was struggling to get across the street and pushed him all the way to safety up on the sidewalk...WAY TO GO...YOU HAVE BEEN SPOTTED!
It was an extremely long day at that point, we had logged 12 hours in the ER between two people in two days. He was small and hooked to an IV pole convinced if it was removed that his arm was going to fall off. You were there when it was put in and he screamed like he was being tortured by feral cats. He begged them to leave it in, take it home, to begin life with the IV pole. In his head it wasn't coming off, ever. He claimed the arm no longer worked that he has a "sad puncher arm" that he could only give "one handed hugs" and his love of Minecraft was finished because his now hooked up arm had ended his career. We got transferred to the TC chairs, from a nice comfy bed, he cried. Then promptly fell asleep exclaiming "don't touch my arm" as he wholeheartedly wagged his little finger at anyone who came close. You were kind hearted, first offered your seat to move over, so we could sit together. Then we met you, the teller of jokes with the golf ball sized elbow and a smile for days that makes everyone else smile because you just have too. The fist bump was nice, he liked that. We talked about you long after you left and your begotten elbow of doom. I've assured him it’s going to grow back, that you’re really a super hero with awesome regrowing powers. To the nice lady, with her mom who had a broken finger but ended up in the full arm cast, he loved you too it made the night go by easier. From one tired mom to another, I get you, more than you can ever understand. As we stand on the front line with our children.
And finally to the last woman standing as they removed her IV and she went home with her mom. Thank you, thank you for showing him that life didn't end when they took it out. That your arm, although in a cast, stayed on. Because life at six is hard enough, If only. #autismtimes
To the most amazing staff at Met ER, thank you. Although he screamed, it was short. But in the end, I explained to him that your superhero capes were just at the cleaners. Your squeaky hospital shoes and magical stethoscopes made life better for loads of people that night.
Please help by posting this to your page. She's a local mama and a good friend of mine. We are all devastated. Someone out there could be her miracle.
This is Madalayna Ducharme our daughter. She is 5 months old and has recently been diagnosed with malignant infantile osteopetrosis. It is a genetic disorder that doesn't allow the bones work properly and they become too dense. This disorder is awful, it attacks vision, hearing and is life threatening. Madalayna is in need of a bone marrow stem cell transplant.
If you are in the age bracket of 17-35 and are healthy we encourage you to sign up to be on the one match registry. It is a quick swab of your mouth to register. If you match up with someone it could be as simple as a blood donation because science has come a long way and has discovered new easier methods for collecting stem cells. You may be the only person in the world who could save a special someone, like Madalayna's, life.
If you are not able to register for any reason, word of mouth to spead awareness to people who can, is greatly appreciated.
There will be a swab event held in Madalayna's name at St Clair College on January 26th at 9:30am to 3:30pm

An enormous thank you to the Support Staff and Leadership staff of the Lifeskills Program/ Classroom at Assumption High School. You're an exceptional group, and your efforts do not go unnoticed. Thank you for everything you do to help my son thrive, treating him with respect and dignity, and help him reach milestones. Thank you for everything you did today to help him reach another milestone, and that was to get his graduation pictures taken with success! I am truly grateful for everything you've done and continue to do to help him achieve his potential.
A very grateful parent.
I just want to thank the 2 ladies who were at the Ouellette campus this afternoon. We were in the waiting room and you both noticed I was crying and just down and out. The lady with brown hair offered to talk to me, and the lady with the blonde hair who offered to go get me a coffee. I appreciate you both and I know you were both going through your own issues but just wanted to thank you both for reaching out to me. It's greatly appreciated. I hope you ladies are both well and thank you again.
About a week ago, I had lost my cell phone. I thought I lost it near the new tops of windsor. Called it a billion times, I was even gonna see about cancelling my Sim card if I could. Then the same day I was going to try cancelling it, someone called my mother-in-law's phone, using my phone. I tried calling back but it went to voicemail. I texted, no reply. I kept calling and finally someone answered. They said "hello, I found this phone." And from there we arranged for me to go and pick it up. He said he thought it was a garbage phone because the screen was cracked but decided to give it a try anyways and charged it. He said he immediately started calling people to find the owner. He said he found it around the place I thought I lost it. Sir, I just want to let you know that you are an amazing person. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not only giving me my phone back, but for giving me back my thousands of memories in my gallery, you gave back important information in my notes. You didn't touch anything other than my contacts to call people. Thank you again!
By the way, this man refuses to accept a reward. :(
I'm surprised this has not been done already. Before christmas there was a woman and her husband who sponsored a few families and handed out a ton of turkeys to those in need and also gave 4 needy families $250 walmart gift cards and donated a ton of food to street help and drouilard place. These two angels helped out a ton of people for christmas and I wanted to say thank you. They have a facebook page. It says they try to help families every year. Bless you both.
