One of the best qualities that most humans have is that when tragedy strikes – there’s usually a number of people who step up to help out.
So when a 2-year-old girl suffered a horrific set of circumstances – she lost both her feet after her father accidentally ran her over with his lawnmower – a number of people from the Florida community have offered to lend their support to their neighbors-in-need.
The most helpful of these good Samaritans may be a former wrestler, now an amputee, who’s offered to donate $100,000 to the family, so they can secure a lifetime supply of prosthetic limbs for the girl.
Here’s what the potential donor said:
“I’ve gotten so close to the family from spending time with them every day. I want what’s best for the kid.”
Most inspiring though may be Ireland’s mother! Ireland is the name of the 2-year-old girl involved in the accident.
Here’s what her mother said:
“We can fix her legs. And she will walk again and run again and be just as spunky as she was.”
A local church has raised nearly $16,000 in four days for Ireland. They are also updating Ireland’s progress here.
Here’s what the church’s pastor said:
“At the heart of most people is compassion. People want to reach out and help this little girl’s life.”
Seems like Ireland is in good hands! Keep fighting kiddo!
