Jane Doe Sacrifice
Jane Doe donates to charity despite impoverished childhood
Earlier in her life, Jane Doe wasn’t born with deep pockets nor was she fed with a silver spoon. In the eighth grade, she had to grow up quick due to the fact that her parents died from heart problems. Therefore, she had to quit school and couldn’t enjoy life as a normal teenager, which was to graduate from High School and college, get a career and marry a man to live happily ever after. In Doe’s case, life planned out different for her and she’s come to terms with it.
Now, at 81 years of age, Doe reflects back on her life and gives insight to how she managed to live as a washerwoman in Heartysville, Tennessee. Staying in her family’s home, Doe was able to save her money. She lived

The reason she donated it to them was because of her parents and she felt it was the right thing to do. During her interview, Doe was quoted saying, “She would like to see a student suffering from a heart disease make it back to school because of her gift.” Her gift was to give and that’s exactly what she did. Along with her previous quote, she also stated, “I want to share my wealth with people in need. The money would do them a lot more good than it would me. Maybe I can make it so the young kids don’t have to quit school like I did. I would have gone back, but when I could afford it, I was too old already.” To back up that statement, Doe’s words are genuine and truthful. She knows its right thing to do because there are many people out there that needs help. Although she didn’t get help the way she may have wanted to, she’s willing to help contribute to another human being by blessing them with her gift.
By donating her money, Doe’s act of unselfishness is evident. Jason Tankard, 14, was the recipient of her gift. He was born with a rare heart disease that disabled him from partaking in activities that his peers partake in. Doe’s blessing is what makes this story angelic. It’s not often you hear impoverished people donate a whopping $200,000 dollars to an organization. But it had to be

    In comparing her history and behaviors to the developmental theories above, we can determine that based on Erikson's developmental theory, Jane is in the stage of intimacy vs. Isolation. This stage begins in young adulthood until the beginning of middle age. Nurses need to show people in this age group support if family is not available. This is due to their intimacy needs increasing due to hospitalization (Potter, 2013, p. 133). Jane is also an efficient learner, which can be determined bases on her education level, major, and grades. Stage four of Erikson's theory shows that Jane's development in industry vs. inferiority was very…

    She loves him way too much, and because of that, she forgets to love herself. Everything she does is in hopes of grabbing his attention. Her lack love towards herself shows when she says, “I wanted to hear him tell me that what we had was special, that I was special, and not merely some mousy girl.” (p.191). Jane’s love towards Lucky takes over and puts all her attention on him, in doing so; it blinds her from respecting herself. Jane’s much needed "acceptance" from Lucky causes her to be vulnerable, and become easily manipulated by Lucky, as she says, "I despised myself for letting my crush on Lucky make me so vulnerable." (p.163). Jane knows about how vulnerable she is to Lucky, but she chooses not to act upon in because of her love for Lucky. Jane is indeed a strong girl (p.228), but with her love for him dominates her mind, and making her forget to love…

    In the early 20th century, more and more issues began to face cities of the United States. Specific issues that cities began facing more and more included the rise in poor sanitation and health concerns in local tenement housing. In order for women to gain access to the public sphere and emerge out of the private sphere, and gain some sort of status with the men of society, Jane Addams proposed the idea of “civic housekeeping” which would let women use their skills from the home in order to clean up the issues in local tenement housing and ultimately, in the local government1.…

    Less often do we hear of stories of giving and kindness. Each day thousands of people carry out random acts of kindness. Late in 2013, Make-a-Wish granted the wish of a five year old cancer survivor named Miles Scott. He wished that for one day he could be Batman. Aided by social media, Make-a-Wish was able to gather 12,000 volunteers to make Miles’ dream come true (Miles’ Wish to Be Batkid). That’s 12,000 people that took time out of their lives to make a little boy’s wish very special. Another show of kindness was displayed on December 2, 2012, when Spanish athlete Ivan Fernandez Anaya gave up a victory in a race to do the right thing. Anaya was in second place behind Abel Mutai, a Kenyan athlete who won the bronze medal in the London Olympics. Mutai stopped about ten meters short of the finish line thinking he had won the race. Instead of surging past him for the victory, Anaya guided Mutai across the real finish line in front of him. Anaya was later quoted saying, “He was the rightful winner. He created a gap that I couldn’t have closed if he hadn’t made a mistake” (Hudson). Anaya’s actions show that humans are honest and are willing to give up their glory to do what it is…

    At the age of nine Ala weighed only fifty five pounds and lived in a crowed orphanage with about twenty kinds with physical or mental disabilities. Once arriving in Wisconsin, Ala’s health greatly improved, he surpassed the amount of times he had seen a doctor in all his time in Iraq while only being in the United States for six months. Ala had now been privileged, thanks to Southworth, to receive physical therapy to help control his head and other muscles. Now only after four years, at the age of thirteen he’s doubled his weight to a hundred and eleven pounds. Southworth says, “we crossed political boundaries. We crossed religious boundaries. There was a massive effort – all on behalf of this little boy who desperately needed people to actually take some action and not just feel sorry for him.” Southworth’s story truly defines the meaning of compassion. He not only felt sorry for, and had an urge to help Ala, but rather he acted on his feelings and did everything with in his power to provide Ala a healthier and safer life than he ever experienced…

    Often, the philanthropist doesn’t make the decision to give until there is a building to put “her”name on or another naming opportunity to establish recognition in perpetuity. The decision could often be based on the admiration of others or a deep sense of self satisfaction. This is because philanthropy is not altruistic. Rather, it is the confluence of altruism with egoism. Philanthropy is where selflessness and self-centeredness meet.…

    Janes Story

    • 448 Words
    • 2 Pages

    The different behaviors that I can describe that have occurred is that Jane had an abusive child hood and now as an adult she continues to have the same issues now that she is married. She is starting to have this problem because in her past her relationship with her father was confusing for her. She learned to associate love with fear and no matter how hard she tried she would always fail. As she grew older she started to see how wrong her father was. She learned that she can use guilt and fear to make her father give her what she wants. In the future I predict that she will continue to be abused by her husband and eventually with become the abuser once she has her child. Also she can become a very materialistic person and just learn to take the abuse in order to get the things that she wants. Jane needs to go through some therapy so that she can realize that’s not the way to be treated and that she should not associate love with fear and abuse. She should set a goal like maybe getting a job to get the things that she wants and be able to provide for her child. Jane also needs to go to couples therapy so that her husband can take some classes in anger management and realize that putting his hands on her is not healthy. Although anger is healthy he needs to learn to put that anger in some sort of hobby or sport.…
