This is the face of a hero. Sean Hayes, a teacher, used his body to help a teenage girl who was set ablaze at Evan Hardy School in Saskatoon last week. Apparently he will require surgery after getting third degree burns. GoFundMe 👉🏻

In COVID, my production business has stayed busy by streaming funerals. We’ve done around 30. It’s provided a new perspective. Not one eulogy has mentioned wealth or bank statements. Provide your family and friends with good memories and you win at life. My take anyway.
