Fighting Against the Funerals of Angels

When I heard that my friend Camila Girardelli's grandmother had passed away, I sent her an email in Brazil, where she is grieving with her family, and she sent me a link to this video. For the first couple of minutes I thought it was a touching story about a grandmother who had once been a beautiful young woman memorably teetering around town on seven (that's right, seven) inch heels. But at 6:15, the real story begins when the spectacular Alice Girardelli, who was not only gorgeous but passionate and kind, starts saving the lives of countless children.
