Doing God's Work
A woman who has dedicated her life to saving babies from infanticide wins $27 million in the California lottery.
All too often, the ring of Debi Faris-Cifelli's cell phone means there is another abandoned newborn at the morgue, another forsaken child for her to name and bury in a shoebox-size coffin under a white cross in the California desert.
"Maybe it's the children saying, 'Thank you' for taking care of them when nobody else would," Faris-Cifelli said, bubbling with laughter. "It's a gift and one for which we feel an awesome responsibility."
It's what they did next that sets the Cifellis apart.
"That's a lot of money to be responsible for. We want to be really good stewards of that money. We feel like it's a gift," said Debi.
"And the first thing we thought of was a scholarship fund," said Steve.
