Based on a true life story.
In 1993, Louisville. An alcoholic found the courage to help a little girl have a fighting chance at life. Sharon Stevens went above and beyond the help the Schmitt’s, from organizing fundraisers, to donations, to helping take care of the girl and making sure little Michelle Schmitt gets the transplant she needed.
The day of the surgery, there was a blizzard and all roads were closed. The weather said no way but the community rallied together and said yes way. People used shovels to clear a landing area for the helicopter that came to assist the family get to the hospital in time. That little girl got her surgery and she got to see 25 more years. Ed Schmitt believed in miracles that day.
In 2021, at age 30, Michelle passed away. This movie honours her legacy. The family said she’s smiling now, knowing her story is shared to the world. One man/woman can really make a difference. You don’t have to be rich to help, just have the heart. They praised Sharon for saving a little girl; she said no the girl saved her. She fought addiction and won. Helping that little girl was the path to her own salvation.
It is movies like this that make me appreciate cinema the most. The world needs more Sharon Stevens and more of these stories. Tales of the best of humanity. They inspire truly.
I can’t get that ‘Sweet child O’ mine” song out of my head.
One man/woman can truly make a difference.
Ordinary Angels do exist.
Sweet movie❤💯
