There are "unsung heroes" in all our lives.
It is inspiring to hear or read about the grit, determination and courage of others when, for whatever reason, it is noticed and spotlighted. But, for every one we hear about, I think their are many others whose selfless actions will remain "unsung".
Someone you know is dealing with a serious illness or an unstable loved one or having to "do without" themself in order to feed their kids.
Someone pulled an injured person out of a burning car and then went on their way when the EMTs arrived.
Someone stepped between a white racist and an "other" and quietly stared them down.
And, someone who could barely dress herself with gnarled hands w0ent to work and typed all day to fund a child's tuition.
Bless 'em all.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
