A Canadian woman who lost her diamond ring 13 years ago while cleaning her garden on the family farm is wearing it proudly again after her daughter-in-law pulled a carrot from the ground .

Mary Grams, 84, said she can’t believe the lucky carrot actually grew through and around the diamond ring she had long given up hope of finding. She said she never told her husband, Norman, that she lost the ring, but only told her son. Her husband died five years ago.

“I feel glad and happy, ”Grams said this week . “It grew into the carrot. I feel it amazing”,

Her daughter-in-law, Calleen Daley, found the ring while getting carrots in for supper with her dog Billy at the farm near Armena, Alberta, where Grams used to live. The farm has been in the family for 105 years. Daley said while she was pulling the carrots she noticed one of them looked strange. She almost fed it to her dog but decided to keep it. When she was washing the carrots, she noticed the ring and spoke to her husband, Grams’son, about what she had found.

They quickly called Grams. “I told her we foun d her ring in the garden. She couldn’t believe it, ”Daley said. “It was so strange that the carrot grew perfectly through that ring. ”

Grams said she wanted to try the ring on again after so many years. With her family looking on, she washed the ring with a little soap to get the dirt off. It moved on her finger as easily as it did when her husband gave it to her.

“We were laughing,”she said. “It fits. After so many years it still fits perfectly.”

Dearborn Heights, Michigan—2.7 million children under 18 have a parent in prison, and women put in local prisons are the fastest growing population. Shawna Reynolds has seen some of those women up close while working in the corrections system(劳教所) for 17 years, and she was encouraged to try something different.

After seven years of education and collecting as much money as she could, Shawna created About Face Course Correction-a one-year rehabilitation program(康复项目) that offers a more personal way to help non-violent women prisoners. The program includes classes for women to finish their education, find a job and so on.“You can’t expect people who have been in prison to stay in prison,”Shawna says.“YOU want them to be helpful people but if you are not going to help them, it’s not going to happen.”

The women live free for a year in a house in Dearborn Heights, Michigan. A 20-year-old woman ,Jennifer Douglas, who dropped out of school, took drugs (吸毒)，and has spent years in and out of prison, says, “I was doing things I would never have thought I would do in my whole life.” Because of About Face, Jennifer’s life is changing. “Everyone is starting to trust me again and proud of me and what I’m doing,” she says. “It’s helped me a lot.It has kept me on the right track.”

There are many other women like Jennifer. Every woman’s story is different, but each woman is important. And Shawna is determined to break the cycle and help them turn their lives around. She is using her own money and donations to pay for the house and this program. If you would like to donate, please visit their Go Fund Me account here.
