Sometimes good things happen to good people

LOS ANGELES (AP) – All too often, the ring of Debi Faris-Cifelli’s cell phone means there is another abandoned newborn at the morgue, another forsaken child for her to name and bury in a shoebox-size coffin under a white cross in the California desert.

Last week, though, Faris-Cifelli – who has had to rely on donations, grants and fund-raisers to give babies a decent burial – got a very different call.

She had won the California lottery.

The jackpot: $27 million.

Well deserved.

They called her up to tell her she’d won the lottery?

Works differently out there, I guess.

Poetic license. Steve looked at the tickets, told Debi that they had won, and she replied “Steve, if you are making this up I am going to kill you!”

Here’s an earlier post about it. Good stuff…

Oh, wow, I saw her on a special about abandoned babies. How awesome that she won!
