Inspirational Friday

A mom makes Thanksgiving for over 300 people. Jill Smoker from Maryland helped raise $18,000 for a Thanksgiving feast.  She has a parenting blog and ask her followers to donate $25.00 towards shopping for Thanksgiving dinner for families in need. She is a mother of three and had over 600 respondents that pitched in and provided dinners for 378 families. Many families had recently lost their jobs and Smoker's generosity allowed them to know the true meaning of Thanksgiving.

A woman gives thanks to her furry friend and mail carrier. Emma Iverson a 79-year-old lives besides the Minnesota River with her dog  "Crackers." She fell on her way to visit her sister and was unable to get back up due to her Parkinson Disease. She continually pressed her medical alert button and did not get a response. Crackers kept her safe from raccoons and coyotes by chasing them away. The temperature fell below the 40's and Crackers stayed by her side. She was woken the next day by a mail carrier who drove her to the hospital, she had a full recovery and learned later that a cougar was in the same proximity that she was.
