If you’re looking for the kind of hero that holds a community together, you need to look no further than 80-year old Ruby Dunson. Ms. Dunson is being held up by the city of Detroit for spending the last 42 years taking care of children that no one else wanted. According to the Detroit Free Press, Ms. Dunson started her career of watching kids by babysitting for a neighbor.
“She said, ‘Will you keep her for me? I want to go to a concert.’ And she never came back,” said Dunson. Ms. Dunson went on to raise the girl into adulthood. This was just the first child that she raised and loved as if it were her own.
Ms. Dunson has raised 10 children in her home, which is on Detroit’s West Side. Eight of those kids were abandoned at birth or abused.

This is a great story about a remarkable woman. Ms Ruby is like a real life angel. But why are there so many unwanted children to begin with?

Ms Ruby Denson is a shining example for all of us. She deserves a medal, the highest medal that a civilian can receive in recognition for their service: Presidential Medal of Freedom. Even then, the highest recognition does not seem to appropriately express the hope and security that Ms Denson gave her charges. I hope that all 10 of her children are doing her proud.
God bless Ms Denson and yes, it does sometimes take a village.

A BEAUTIFUL POSITIVE STORY!!!
The Elders always took care of their children in the village. When I tutored, ‘my children’,
in elementary school, they treated me with the utmost of respect because I cared for them and they loved to hear about their glorious past.
Our chldren need love and hugs; not guns and drugs!
