Polish Silver Medalist in Javelin Auctions Off Medal to Pay for Boy’s Heart Surgery

Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk said “A medal is only an object, but it can be of great value to others. This silver can save lives, instead of collecting dust in a closet. That is why I decided to auction it to help sick children.” The polish convenience story Sabka Polska won the auction then told Andrejczyk to keep the medal.

Thank you my friend and sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown for posting the Salem Radio News Daybreak Insider [that I received via email this morning] focused on Polish javelin thrower Maria Andrejczyk said “A medal is only an object, but it can be of great value to others. This silver can save lives, instead of collecting dust in a closet. That is why I decided to auction it to help sick children.”

Kudos to selfless Maria Andrejczyk, unlike the juvenile USA Olympics BLM supporters who dissed this nation.
