Plugging a lovely if utterly un-PPC-like website called Gives Me Hope .Com.

It's basically a reservoir for uplifting stories about the lovely things people do for each other - big and small. Reading a few of these every day could, I think, make everyone in this world just a little more optimistic. And just to prove that I'm a softie, this one made me cry:

A boy was dying of cancer and needed an expensive brain surgery, but his family, broke and desperate, couldn't afford it. His eight year old took sister Tess took her piggy bank savings to a pharmacist in order to buy a 'miracle'. It just so happens that the right man witnessed the little girl's tears at the pharmacy counter: a neurosurgeon. He performed the surgery for free.
