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.

Tears came to my eyes when I read this.
Aaaaaaw! The story after it (though I'm not sure if it's true or not) that's on that site is sad too, but this one's full of hope!
That just made my day! That's amazing!
it's a very well written urban fable. still it's a tearjerker that will get to everyone. And hey the message is great, always keep hope... well that or live in a country with a proper social medical plan :-P
I cried when I read this. The world is so full of hope.
this is absolutely amazing.
I cried when I read this. Whether it's true or not, there is hope in the world.
i cried. this is beautiful, true or not. really gmh.
I'm crying as I type this. Things like this really make this site shine. GMH.
Oh god! This is SO inspirational.
I got chills when I read this. I almost want to believe this isn't true, but I can't.
Absolutely inspirational. Brought tears to my eyes. GMH.
Aw, that gave me chills. That is so amazing.
This is so amazing! my best friend had brain cancer and i know how expensive the surgeries are. thank god for angel surgeons like this one.
This is from Chicken Soup for the Soul. It's still cute.
Things like this do happen. You do just so happen to meet the right person in the right place, at the right time. I was once given the wrong medicine at a pharmacy(luckily, I noticed before I took any) and when I went back to get the right stuff, the man behind me in line just so happened to be a lawyer and offered to help me file a lawsuit(he thought I had already taken some, of course. otherwise he wouldn't have offered). Of course, I declined(No harm, no foul, and all), but it was still cool...and now I know to double-check my meds before leaving the pharmacy. =P
Oh, this made me cry. A friend of mine is suffering from cancer but it's not in her brain, it's pancreatic and it's inoperable but she is having to deal with so many expensive treatments. this just gives me hope for her in her condition because it reminds me that you can't know what to expect. especially when you are trying to help save someone else's life like the little girl in this story.
This made be cry again. I regularly live among people who don't really care, so seeing this is just wonderful.
I cried... there is still good in the world!
Inspiration. Sheer inspiration.
Frankly, I don't care if it's true or not. I believe it - miracles happen. However, it gives the world hope. We need more of that. It's beautiful.
I agree with 22. I don't care if this was pulled out of someone's imagination or not. This gives me so much hope. From the little girl's piggy bank to the neurosurgeon.
Aww this story is beautiful...really shows that miracles do happen
God works in mysterious ways!
http://www.snopes.com/glurge/price.asp By Snopes.com it's called Undetermined, so it might be true, but leaning towards not...
That doesn't make it any less heartwarming and sweet... And it can give people hope...
Haha #4, why? So he could be dead before he got off the waiting list? Or so that they could send him to the US to get good care? Like Canada does?
Now This, is exactly why i want to be a surgeon. You have the power to perform miracles
wow that was soooooooo nice of the sister to do that
The pharmacist and the sister give me hope!
i almost cried reading this, nicest thing I've ever heard
This sounds like the movie My Sister Keeper
This is a beautiful story. I nearly started crying when I read it :)
this is the first one I have read where tears came to my eyes.
I think this is a nice story. Who cares if it is true or not at least someone thought something nice like this. Isn't a thought just as important as the deed. Someone will read this and do something nice for someone, even if they aren't dying. The dying aren't more important than the living.
