But for these ladies, it’s life changing. Prostate cancer is a serious thing for men, but the scars aren’t in your face. These women have to look at that every day; they’re the toughest people on the planet.”.

They can use it as a base for building a meal.”. Nguyen’s ticket to Vietnam was already booked when super Typhoon Haiyan struck earlier this month and left approximately 4,000 people dead in the Philippines alone. He was also already planning to donate food and other items at isolated villages where poverty is widespread.
