A little girl was dying of cancer and her younger brother had a match for the bone marrow she needed. The doctors told him it was a matter of life and death. After he had the surgery, he asked the doctors how long he had to live. He thought if he gave his bone marrow to let his sister live he would die but he did it anyway. GMH

Today, I came out of the closet to my extremely-Christian parents after hiding it in fear for more than seven years. They hugged me and told me that no matter what path I chose, they would always love me for who I am. :) GMH

A boy was dying of cancer and needed an expensive brain surgery, but his family, broke and desperate, couldn't afford it. His 8 yr 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.

I woke up one morning to hear the birds outside my window and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I had been deaf since the age of 8.

Freshman year, there was a crippled girl bound to a wheelchair. For 4 years, she did physical therapy and progressed to crutches. When we graduated a few weeks ago, she handed her crutches to an officer and walked across the entire stage. The applause from the seniors was deafening. She cried the whole way. GMH

Another Operation Beautiful story:

Today, I put a post-it note that said "smile! :D" on it in the girl's bathroom in school (got that idea from GMH). Later, I noticed that someone else had put "SMILE, BEAUTIFUL! :)" on a desk. A few days later, I noticed some more in other places. I started a "trend" at school, that I got from GMH!

The homosexual boy in my senior class was not harassed, bashed, or mocked for his sexuality. As a matter of fact at our senior prom he was voted prom king AND prom queen, and he received a standing ovation from our entire class as he cat walked across every foot of the stage. GMH!

Last summer I was working as an assistant wedding photographer in California during the brief period when gay couples could marry there. While working a wedding at the San Fransisco City Hall, I watched two old men in tuxedos help each other up the stairs in order to finally get married after over 30 years together. GMH.

I work at Tim Hortons, and everyday when we close we have to throw out all of the donuts, muffins, bagels etc. Yesterday, 5 minutes before we closed a lady came in and asked what we do with all the food at the end of the day, we told her we have to throw it out. She bought everything we had left and took it to a homeless shelter. People like her GMH.

When I was seven, my parents and I were travelling in New York and I rushed onto a subway just as the doors closed, leaving my family on the platform. I was absolutely terrified and hysterical, but one lady took the time to get off with me at the next stop and bring me back to the previous station. Sometimes strangers can be trusted. GMH.

Every year, the graduating 8th grade class votes for superlatives. The teachers add up the votes. When 'Jordan A' was announced for Most Inspirational, teachers were in tears to see our entire class who never get along, give a standing ovation. He died in a fire in fourth grade and we still consider him part of our class.

I discovered this article about ironworkers on the Golden Gate Bridge who save lives. They'll get up at 3 AM to prevent suicide attempts. But the most amazing thing is: It's all voluntary. They all take turns. This GMH.

I'm a 17 year old male that has spent the last 4 years working through anorexia. Yesterday, I had a large order of French Toast with eggs and bacon for breakfast, a cheese burger and French fries for lunch, and a steak with mashed potatoes and corn for dinner. I have never felt so attractive. GMH

My brother has Down Syndrome and doesn't speak very well. This week while we were down the beach he tried to learn how to skim board.He would try and ask the other boys how they did it and they would laugh at him and walk away. The last day 4 teenage boys spent hours with him teaching him. They were so patient. He wouldn't stop smiling :)They GMH.

In a period of 6 weeks, my father died and my mom got cancer. Within hours of her diagnosis, Mom's friends created a website to make sure my family had meals brought over, Christmas decorations put up, etc. They helped plan my wedding when Mom was too sick to. Their help meant I didn't need to drop out of college to take care of Mom. GMH.

A few years ago I was living with my best friend, he was very into the way he looked but everywhere he went with me he walked around with a studded belt around his forehead, so people wouldn't just stare at me in my halo brace GMH

Today I was going out for a coffee with my boyfriend. On the way I passed a homeless man and gave him $5. When I got to Starbucks my boyfriend dumped me. I walked home crying, and when I passed the homeless man he told me how sorry he was, and offered to buy me a coffee. He used the $5 I gave him, and smiled proudly as he handed over the money. GMH

Dads like this exist. GMH

My father was diagnosed with cancer and passed away 4 years ago. Recently, I stopped by his online blog. I found out my son had been leaving him comments, saying things like how he missed him, and how he is studying hard in school, and that he would study hard to find a cure to cancer so that people wont miss their grandfather like he does. GMH

Today, I sent a text message to everyone that said: "You are truly beautiful, unique, and perfect. Smile because you are you and no one else! Send this to each beautiful person you know. Givesmehope.com" GMH.

I lived at a sober living place in LA. It was a really rough neighborhood; I witnessed 2 arrests in 1 month. There were lots of taggers who would use spraypaint to deface the buildings. However, our buildings were always left alone; the taggers knew what we were there for and they respected us. GMH

Cancer claimed my daughter's life 3 years ago. Just a few weeks ago I attended what would have been her high school graduation. When the valedictorian and salutatorian, her friends, rose to give their speech, tears poured down my face. They dedicated their graduation to my daughter. GMH.

A few years ago, my dad got me 12th row seats to a concert I really wanted to go to. Last minute I found out I couldn't go. My dad gave the tickets at no charge to a coworker and her 15 yr-old daughter who had a disease that would surely kill her before she graduated high school. She called me the next day saying it was the best day of her life. GMH

Every 1000 bottle caps my friends mom collects, a 4 year old girl gets a free round of chemo. While i was at my brothers baseball game, collecting bottle caps, 3 little boys asked me what i was doing. They went around to every trash can, not caring what was in them & got bottle caps. We ended up with over 1500 caps. Their generation GMH.

Yesterday, I finally admitted to my best friend that I have been self-harming for six years now. Telling her was the hardest thing I've ever had to do. Today, I came to school to see 20 of my friends with "Love" written on their arms to show me how much they cared and that they were there to support me through my recovery. Love & Friendship GMH.

A while ago I saw a middle-aged couple walking together holding hands and smiling. They looked so completely in love and proud of it that I still remember it clearly to this day. They were walking in the city with a few dozen people near them and a street full of cars. They were both men. I have never believed in true love as much as I did then.

Today, due to my parents' abusive divorce I was left to get to my mid-year Year 12 English exam by train at last minute - leaving my wallet at home due to the rush, a woman I have never met before saw me crying, and not only bought me a ticket, but gave me coffee and a hug. GMH

Today is my birthday. A couple months ago I was attacked by a dog that left horrendous scars on my face. My boyfriend made a book that says "You're the most beautiful thing I have ever seen" in over 100 different languages. GMH

Early this year, a Spanish teacher at my middle school died of cancer, leaving behind a son. The school banded together to raise money for a college fund. They raised $6,300. Six teachers and the Principal shaved their heads in support. One cut the ponytail he'd been growing since 1986. GMH.

The other day at a track meet, my friend found $250 on the ground and turned it into the lost and found but nobody claimed it, so she got to keep it. Everyone told her to spend it on a shopping spree or jewlery, even our coaches. A week later I found out she had gotten gift cards to the local food store and gave them to families in need. GMH

Today, I registered for an account on GMH. I've always had depression and anxiety. On every site I've ever been on, my username has been 'sapphirextears'. This time, it's 'sapphirexhope.' GMH.

Today, I IMed everyone online, whether they knew me or not, telling them they're beautiful. My friend wrote back " we need more ppl like you." I look on here, and I know there are more people like me. GMH

Today, I was stood up by a guy I was seeing. I sat at the restaurant for a half and hour. Finally I ordered, the waiter and hostess (who are engaged) sat with me and talked. Then they did something I didn't see coming... they paid for my meal. I will never forget them. :D GMH.

Near my house, there is a woman that bakes pies. She leaves a shelf of homebaked pies at the end of her driveway near the road, and a box for any money that anyone wishes to give. She's been doing this for years, and has never once been robbed. GMH.

One day, I was riding the EL during rush hour. A blind man came on the train. A nice woman gave him her seat, then asked if he needed any help. Turns out he wasn't very familiar with Chicago, so she got off three stops early to make sure he got to where he needed to be. People like her GMH!

I was in Santa Fe and about to pay a parking meter when a woman gave me her ticket which still had time left on it, she said that she always pays the maximum amount and then passes the unused time onto another person about to park. And if there is no one there she sticks it to the meter for the next parker. Now I do this too. GMH

When I was in high school, I got asked to prom by a boy in the CDC. I said yes. Even though he was in a wheelchair he ended up dancing with every girl there. I've never seen him smile so much in my life. His mom thanked me a hundred times for going to prom with him, because it made his night. GMH

A few weeks ago, I watched my 3 year old niece cross the finish line by herself at a run/walk, refusing to let anyone even hold her hands. The run/walk was held in her honor. She was in a car accident 8 months before. Doctors said she would never live off machines. She has a ways to go, but she GMH.
