“Just as he turned to leave, I said: ‘God bless you,’ and he smiled — big smile — and then he turned around and left”

Stephanie Headley was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease called systemic scleroderma, and given little to no chance for survival. This disease caused her skin, arteries, veins several organs to harden and the Canadian health system wouldn’t cover the only procedure that might give her life again. Her family tried to source a funding campaign to raise the desperately needed money for the advanced procedure at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, but fell very short in their attempts. They only managed to raise $13,000, a fraction of what would be needed to cover the $128,000 medical bill that would save her life.

Then on July 3rd a stranger called and asked if he could swing by and drop off a donation for her operation fund. She accepted the offer and began to make a thank you card for the gesture. The man dropped shortly after the phone call and handed her an envelope with few word exchanged between the two.

Thinking little of the interaction, she closed to the door behind her and started to open the envelope only to collapse from the shock from what was inside. Yes my friends, it was a certified cheque for the entire amount of $128,000. Her life would not be saved by the highly regarded Canadian medical system that is suppose to serve and protect their people, but by a man in sunglasses and athletic jacket with no name. This low profile man would only rewarded with the knowing that he contributed to saving another humans life. A lot can be learned by this incredibly kind act of kindness. An anonymous experience that will be felt worldwide, motivating us all to do better. Thank you anonymous man, thank you!
