From she was 12 up until she passed away at the age of 87,she had always lived for those who were suffering.Since the dawn of time,there have been many generous and wealthy souls who donated funds to help the poor,but she is not one of them.Not only did she not leave a penny for herselve,she never made any money nor attempted to raise funds; she's not a regular philanthropist,because her goal wasn't just to help provide the poor with food and clothes,nor the sick and victims of disaster with medical aid.Her goal was to bring love to these people in pain,and let them hold on to their diginty and experience the feeling of being loved.For this,she was willing to kneel down in front of these people; she was determined to serve the poor,and so she first became the poor,giving up a quiet and comfortable life as a nun and teacher.She donned the clothes of the poverished,and walked head on into the slums,refugee camps,and places where many sick and ill patients with contagious diseases lay.Her fifty years passed like a day.
