Polish javelin thrower and Olympian Maria Andrejczyk has auctioned off her silver medal to help raise money for an infant’s heart surgery, but the winning bidder has refused to accept her medal.
Andrejczyk, 25, took to Facebook last week to announce that she would be auctioning off her silver medal to help raise funds for 8-month-old Miloszek Malysa, of Poland, who was in need of life-saving heart surgery. More
Nice gesture. Prayers for Miloszek.
Now, that’s damn fine, right there.
That is an inspiring story on several levels.
I’ve been reading a lot wonderful stories about Poland and her citizens lately. In the culture war that we are currently in, conservatives need to embrace European countries like Poland, who have “been there and done that”, and are rejecting totalitarian communism.
With all the bad shit going on this week this is nice to read.
I read about this wonderful gesture this morning. What immediately jumped out at me, this complicated operation will be done at Stanford Medical Center. The US has the finest doctors and hospitals in the world, that is why they come all this way. Freedom breeds creativity and innovation, it allows for maximum potential.
God bless them all especially that little girl!

Very true, as evidenced by the Ronald Reagan Monument in Warsaw;

Freedom is not just an empty slogan to those that have seen the other side.
Some of our most fired up representatives are those born in lands of subjugation and misery, Victoria Spartz readily comes to mind.
I’ve been to a few charity auctions and it usually turns out to be a waste of time if you’re looking to actually purchase something. The same item goes up for bid 10 times or even more in some cases and waaaay over price, the winner just says, “run it again!” Nice gesture, but man is it a frustratingly long. They could have easily just gone to the cashier and cut a check to save time, but no, they gotta show off to everyone how nice they are.
@rich taylor –
It pains me greatly to think that we might have to experience what Poland had to endure before our useful idiots awaken to the intellect, insight and foresight that our forefathers had in creating the Constitution to set this country apart from the rest of the world.
Sometimes, in the vast shit meadow that is our daily news feed, a beautiful flower blooms.
Very rare tho…
Class acts all around!
God bless.
Notice our “woke” athletes are too busy trying to rake in the endorsements to do the same.
I will be in Poland next week!
Ronald Reagan monument is on my list.
Plus, I am consciously visitingh monuments to tadeusz kosciuszko, a great Polish engineer who helped us win the Revolutionary War.
Proud Pole here!

are pretty dam conservative. I like them alot.
