Sometimes, I'm proud to be a Portie

The Porties are really an amazing people. After that piece on the news about infertility the couple who had their house for sale got thousands of phone calls offering help. 43,000 firemen from all around the country have decided to donate from 50 cents to 1 euro each, which will leave them with enough money for 4 or 5 IVFs at least. And one private infertility clinic offered the procedures for free, so they will only have to pay for the drugs.
How awesome is that?

One thing made me a bit unconfortable though. The woman was crying and the reported asks her. "Why are you crying? You don't need to cry anymore, the problem is all solved now". No, it isn't. She has the money for the IVFs now but that doesn't mean she will have a baby necessarily. And even if she does have a baby eventually, that will not make it all ok, it will not erase the pain she has been through. This is not something you forget. Ever.
