Real Stories. Real People. Radical Love.
When Holly Hargrave entered her county fair livestock auction in Wisconsin, she didn’t plan to walk away with a viral story of love. She was there to sell her prize lamb. But instead of pocketing the money, she dedicated the sale to her friend Lexi, who needed a heart transplant.
What happened next stunned everyone: the lamb was bought, re-donated, and auctioned again—multiple times. Local ranchers and businesses kept bidding, contributing to the cause until the total reached more than $27,000.
Holly simply said, “I just wanted to help my friend.”
Her love sparked a wave of community generosity, proving that compassion can multiply when one person dares to act.
