Sorry - I searched for the most obvious thing (her last name) and got zilch.

God works in mysterious way, His wonders to perform!

Thanks. I didn't see it before.

I've found sometimes when you enter a search term and hit the search button, it will give you no results. Then you hit it again, and it will have 3 or 4 threads. Hit it again, and no results. Odd.

Indeed. They found a boy inside a clothing drop recently :( How I wish these women would just leave the baby somewhere instead of throwing them in the trash like garbage. Babies aren't garbage.

I knew this story was familiar. It was good to read. Reinvigorates faith in people.

I read about her work a couple of years ago. Maybe in the Reader's Digest? Has anyone else here heard of her before she won the lottery?

[fo0hzy]

Thanks for the tip!

It was indeed Readers Digest that my mom quoted...

Already posted, but still a good story. Once in a while, good things DO happen to good people.

Oh congratulations to her. I read about her a few years back while waiting for an appointment and I cried when I read all she does. She truly is a saint and deserves all this money. God bless her and the little ones she so tenderly cares for as she prepares them for a burial. Shewill have a special place in heaven for sure.

Thank you for posting; I did not see it before.

Anyway, what wonderful news. I misread the headline at first, and thought, why? But what a great reward for this lady - I'm sure she'll put the money toward that and other worthwhile causes. Plus she can take a little reward for herself.

Wouldn't the word "jackpot" be a bit more obvious than her last name - which I doubt that anyone knows?

[Sally'sConcerns]

I too hadn't seen this story here before. Thanks for posting it. I like reading good news!

Hopefully she'll no longer have to rely on donations and can use her winnings to grow the work she does.

[Palladin]

Nice story. God bless this lady. Even more.

If an article about her had been posted previously, I would have expected to find the surname "Faris-Cifelli" during a FR search.

Searching FR for "jackpot" might have yeilded more results than "Faris-Cifelli", therefor making the search a bit more complicated. Or maybe that's my crack habit thinking.

If anyone ever deserved this money, she does. May God continue to bless her.
