This went hand in hand with the beginnings of reconstructive surgery. It was an effort to help the men adjust to civilian life without being shunned because of their injuries. BTW, in any previous war, they would’ve died from such wounds, but medicine and surgery had gotten good enough by the early 20th century to save their lives. Then the doctors were faced with helping the men blend back into society with the scars from those wounds, and both prosthetics and plastic surgery were born.

British Man Was Struggling To Sell His £800k Six-Bedroom House. So He Decided To Sell Raffle Tickets Online For £2 Tickets
After struggling to pay £2,000 a month mortgage for the house that originally costed him £435,000, Dunstan put the house up in the market for sale. But when he found no buyer, he decided to raffle £500,000 worth of tickets online for £2 with which people could get the chance to win the property.
He managed to sell 186,000 tickets with which he cleared his debts and finally handed over the house keys to a 41-year old factory worker who had also participated in buying the ticket.
Jrog 2 months ago (edited)
Math isn't mathing here. He raffled "500k worth of tickets", but the actual value was 372k (ok, maybe he did not sell all of them), and with 372k he "cleared his debts" by selling the house at a lower value than the 435k purchase price, a fraction of the roughly 800k current value... So, either there is something off with the reporting, or ìthis is not an "unbelievable inspiring fact"; is just a dude who is a complete idiot when it comes to money selling off his house at a loss through barely legal means. I am curious to know about the legality of this, he would have needed a Gambling Commission license to sell tickets (free tickets are ok though), that he likely had not because I found a remark about the Gambling Commission cracking down on house raffles after being notified of some illegal ones.

People from America, Germany, Holland, Australia, Egypt, India, and Japan have been in touch, inviting him on road trips to the U.S. or for an afternoon drinking gin and tonics. "They’ve sent me pictures of their kids, their pets, told me about their aspirations, and told me they are thinking of me. I got an email from a local teacher asking if children in her class could write me letters. I got in touch with her straight away and said it would be delightful. I would love that. When I started responding, they were coming in thick and fast. I would say about four or five a minute. The thing is, I can’t respond now, as my email account seems to have crashed. A red message came up saying there was some sort of error and it needs to be reset.”

In 2015, A Woman Took Bmw’s April Fools’ Day Advertisement At Its Word, And Ended Up Winning A Brand-New Bmw With The Number Plate “Nof00l.”
Az Oz 2 months ago
A New Zealand newspaper had published the campaign under its April Fools’ Day Special section. The ad promised a free BMW to the first person who showed up at a dealership with their own car and the newspaper ad in hand. Most people assumed it was just another April Fools’ prank, until one woman actually took the company at its word. Tianna Marsh drove her 15-year-old station wagon to the showroom at 5:30 a.m. local time. To her delight, she was rewarded with a brand-new BMW worth nearly US $37,000, complete with the cheeky plate “NOF00L.” “We wanted to turn the tables and reward the first person who was willing to take the chance,” said BMW spokesman Ed Finn. The company later uploaded the moment to its YouTube channel, with the message: “Happy April Not Such a Fool.”

Squirrel Chaser 2 months ago
"In 2016, Dan Peterson’s wife had just passed away. He was severely depressed and didn’t find meaning in living. However, he would still go grocery shopping for himself in Georgia, where he first met Norah, the 4-year-old girl. The conversation between them went like this: “Hi, old person…” “Well hello, little lady! And how old are you today?” “A hug?!” asked Dan. “Absolutely!” he continued. Norah’s mother, Tara Wood, later found out that the elderly man had been suffering from a broken heart and that sleeping through the night had been a challenge for him. But Dan confided that since the moment he met Norah, he had been sleeping peacefully again. Over the years, Dan and Norah grew closer, celebrating birthdays, holidays, and other occasions together. They would meet at least once a week with countless hugs."

Multa Nocte 2 months ago
"Ken Benbow, 94, lost his wife Ada, 71, last August. Since then, he has gone to bed with a photo of his wife. The 94-year-old has been living in a nursing home in Preston, United Kingdom, for a while now. Watching him sleep that way, his caregiver, Tobin, decided to surprise him with a photo of his wife printed on a pillow, so that he could hug her and fall asleep. Ken broke down in tears when the caregiver finally gifted him that pillow. “I’ve got you a present,” Tobin said. “What’s that, darling?” asked Ken, before he received the pillow. But after seeing his wife's photo on the pillow, he started crying. The caregiver held his hand and said, “I thought this might be a bit better than your photograph.” Ken responded to Tobin with a hug."

A Woman Named Victoria Wright Was Born With A Rare Genetic Condition, But She Continues To Inspire Others
Multa Nocte 2 months ago
"Growing up with a changing face due to cherubism, a rare genetic condition, doctors said that her head was as heavy as a cannonball. Victoria became the target of intense bullying and the world’s judgment, including verbal a***e from strangers and children mocking her with cruel names like “Fat Chin” or “Desperate Dan.” Despite that, Victoria never lost her strength. She refused to undergo surgery and instead embraced her appearance. She later met with a UK charity, Changing Faces, where she connected with people going through similar challenges. That gave her the confidence that she needed. She’s now a role model for people with similar genetic conditions and for those living with facial differences."

Woman Reunites With Her Wedding Ring After 33 Years Of Flushing It Down The Drain
Multa Nocte 2 months ago
"It was her 33rd wedding anniversary when Mary Strand was given a gift by her husband, Dave... "a beautiful wedding ring." But one day, Mary lost that ring when she was in her bathroom and it slipped off her finger, right into the toilet. "It went right down the drain. I was thinking, 'He'll never buy me another ring'... I felt really bad because it was a gift," revealed Mary. But a decade later, an employee named John Tierney, who was a mechanical maintenance manager at the Rogers, Minnesota, plant spotted something sparkly in the debris. Noticing the ring's unique design, the Metropolitan Council posted the lost-and-found ring on social media with its picture so that the rightful owner could identify it. After hundreds of reshares, the ring alert reached Mary's feed. She immediately contacted the authorities with the photo of her lost ring. When jewelry examiners matched her photo with the ring, it was returned to Mary."

Waffle House Employees In Georgia Rush Outside To Greet The Elderly Man Who Frequents The Place
Multa Nocte 2 months ago
"A car parks outside the Waffle House when an elderly man is seen coming out and trying to cross the parking lot. The next moment, three women from the staff rush toward him with bright smiles, hold his hand, and gently walk with him. Backstory: One of the waitresses emphasized that they hadn't seen the elderly man in a while, but he used to visit the Waffle House frequently along with his wife. One of the reasons for his absence was moving into a home. The woman who uploaded the video has claimed to be the elderly man’s granddaughter. “This is my sweet grandpa. He and my grandmother always frequented here! She’s moved into a home now, but I’m glad to see he’s back and feeling all the love.”"

To make this make more sense, the child was autistic and refused to drink out of any cup other than a cup that looked identical to this. "“People think Ben will drink when he’s thirsty. Unfortunately, that is not the case,” said Marc. He further added that since the broken cup, both of them had to make emergency trips to A&E due to severe dehydration that suggests ‘everything will NOT be okay.’ With the cup being out of production for several years now, Marc turned to social media, aka Twitter, to seek support from the online community. And the response has been overwhelming."

Blind Man Gets A 'Tooth-In-Eye' Surgery And Is Now Able To See For The First Time In 20 Years
Multa Nocte 2 months ago
"Brent Chapman, now 34, lost his vision when he was just 13 years old after a rare allergic reaction to ibuprofen called Stevens-Johnson syndrome. Since then, his days have been occupied with trips to multiple doctors aiming to restore his vision, but he would return with no luck. Then Brent met Dr. Greg Moloney, an ophthalmologist in Vancouver, who suggested a 1960s-developed procedure, 'tooth-in-eye,' where Brent's tooth would be pulled, flattened, and a small hole drilled in the center to fill with a prosthetic lens. The tooth would then be placed at the front of his eye, allowing him to see through the new lens. The procedure is performed as it decreases the chances that the body will perceive the object as foreign, as Brent explained. Brent woke up from the surgery with positive results. "I feel fantastic. Vision comes back and it's a whole new world," he said."
