I see a lot of well deserved praise for the teacher but what makes me tear up is the mom's reaction. She must have been so stressed and fearful for her little girl and to see that explosion of stress relieving joy is amazing. The sound of her cries is so full of relief and so heartfelt, I love it.

[@wooddragonable]

that's what it's all about - helping one another. Beautiful. What an amazing woman / teacher.

[@matthall113]

I cant bear seeing kids so sick.. its so upsetting. But its also the reason why i donate blood and am a registered organ donor. If a part of me can save someone, they can live their dreams and have a happy life! Who wouldnt give that gift, its a precious and important thing to give to deliver a second chance.

[@Alter_Dan_K]

Bless your soul, miss teacher.

[@bettyhall7743]

You know what is also so cool about this? This little girl has learned an INCREDIBLE lesson about generosity that she in turn will be able to share her whole life with other people. It literally just keeps passing along.

[@houdini-ng9yv]

Normally, "teacher" is the highest honor I could place upon someone, but this is above and beyond!

[@johngarcia5396]

What an amazing, selfless and loving woman and teacher! That's a gift from god and that's what life is about. That's the most gratifying and amazing gift you can ever recieve or give to someone!

Ooh that beautiful 🥺 god bless her as a muslim we believe in saving a human soul is as saving all mankind’s and that is the verse in the guran (who ever killed a soul, except for a soul slain, or for sedition in the earth, it should be considered as though he had killed all mankind; and that who ever saved it should be regarded as though he had saved all mankind) Sura 5: AL-MAEDA (THE TABLE) - Juz' 6
