Smurf Balls Report post Posted August 31, 2014 Man suffers heart attack while mowing lawn; Responding firefighters bring him to the hospital, and return to finish the mowing for him BAYTOWN, Texas -- For the firefighters and EMTs of Station 4 in Baytown it was another normal assignment: rushing to a 911 call to help save someone's life. But to the family and neighbors of John McCormick it was it was beyond normal. It helped restore a bit of their faith in humanity and the kindness of strangers. McCormick, 65, had a history of heart problems - a quadruple bypass more than a decade ago and other lingering health issues. Tuesday afternoon he suffered a heart attack while mowing the yard of his Baytown home. He went inside his house and collapsed where his family called for help. Engine 4, Medic 4, and Medic 2 responded. EMT's performed CPR and got a pulse again. And per standard operating procedure, the crew of Engine 4 followed the ambulance to the hospital. But when they left the hospital to drive back to Station 4, engine driver Luke Bednarek had an idea. Why not go back to the McCormick home and finish mowing his yard for him. "We're all fighting over who can push the mower first," said Station 4 Lt. J.D. Giles. "I just happened to get off the truck first and grabbed the lawnmower first. We were all fighting over it," said firefighter Blake Steffenauer. They took turns behind John McCormick's lawn mower. They finished the backyard too, locked the garage, put the padlock key in the mailbox, and Giles left a handwritten note to Patsy McCormick that said in part "we felt bad that your husband didn't get to finish the yard, so we did." And they didn't think it was that big a deal. "No not at all. Just something to help someone out in the worst time of their life," said Giles. "They already got stuff they've got going on that's more important," added Steffenauer. "Yard work shouldn't be something they'd have to finish up. So we were happy to come back and take care of that." But it was a letter, and a gesture, that made a daughter weep. "It just showed me that there's still compassion," said McCormick's daughter Jeana Blackford. "That people still do random acts of kindness every day for people that they don't know." This story does not have a happy ending. John McCormick died two days later. But while the firefighters were mowing his yard, a neighbor secretly took a series of cell phone photographs and posted them to social media. The response has been remarkable. http://www.khou.com/story/news/local/neigh...viral/14841397/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fortis Report post Posted November 1, 2014 This mans story is incredible http://articles.philly.com/2014-10-26/news...-queens-college Absolutely incredible, why aren't people like him in the news everyday? The kind of people the young generation should use as inspiration! "He rebuilt the company - which now includes BGC Partners and employs 8,000 globally - and for five years gave 25 percent of profits, $180 million in total, to the families. In addition, on Sept. 11 each year,his employees forgo a day's pay and the company donates that day's revenue - this year, about $12 million - to a variety of charities." What a man!!

Copper Report post Posted December 10, 2014 Terminally ill 6 year old wants Christmas cards. FOUNTAIN GREEN, Sanpete County — Now that Thanksgiving is over, a lot of people are focusing on shopping and getting out those Christmas cards. A girl struggling with illness hopes that this year you will add one more card to your list. In the quiet town of Fountain Green, the local post office is the heart of the community. And getting the mail from Box 162 is something that little Addie Fausett literally lives for. At 6 years old, Addie is starting to count the Christmas cards sent specifically to her, which she can hang on the door. There is a reason so many people are sending Addie a Christmas card. "She kind of stopped growing when she was 3,” said Tami Fausett, Addie’s mother. And slowly since then, the bubbly and energetic little girl who now weighs just 23 pounds continues to struggle. "She likes to laugh and have a good time and hear stories, but lately she has had a lot of days she will just cry all day long,” Tami Fausett said. And even with many visits to neurologists at Primary Children's, Addie’s condition has gone undiagnosed. Enlarge image (Photo: Sam Penrod/KSL TV) "Cerebral atrophy is just a symptom of what is wrong, but she is still undiagnosed,” Tami Fausett said. The deteriorating condition of her brain resulted last month in a devastating prognosis. "They told us she probably won't last much longer and they told us roughly a year,” Tami Fausett said. Now, with the prospect that this will be Addie's last Christmas, her grandparents thought it would be nice for Addie to receive a lifetime of Christmas cards this year. "She doesn't get to play with kids, so we thought if everyone would send her a card, we could tell all her friends it would make her Christmas a little bit better,” Tami Fausett said. With the help of her older sisters, Shayley and Audree — who hang up the cards — cards for Addie and her sisters are pouring in from family, friends, and as word spreads on social media, even strangers. "(We’re) hoping to get a lot so we can cover all the walls with them, for Addie,” Tami Fausett said. Back at the post office, if this smile on the other side of Box 162 won't warm your heart, Addie's Christmas wish for us all certainly will. "Merry Christmas!” Addie exclaimed. If you would like to send Addie and her sisters a card, you can mail it to Box 162, Fountain Green, UT 84632. http://www.wndu.com/home/headlines/Cards-g...-285280801.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
