Local Stories

Blanketing the world with hope, help: Kari Fillmore said many of the great ideas she comes up with usually start out as a joke. She's being modest — and honest — when she says she has no idea how her nonprofit company became so successful. What she does know is that Angel Covers, the business she started in her home, has grown to an international organization that helps orphanages around the globe and has individuals from all over the country donating time, money and services.

Thicker than blood: When you wish upon a star, does it matter where you are? Not if your wish is for a family and you are connected to your destiny by an invisible thread, it doesn't. The ancient Chinese proverb about invisible red threads that seal fates and unite couples is the thread that binds the story of a local woman and her Chinese-born daughter.
