Mercy

From Advocates for Abandoned Babies Win Lottery:
    CALIMESA, Calif. -- A couple who provide funerals for abandoned infants and helped inspire a California law to save unwanted newborns won a $27 million lottery jackpot -- and plan to use the money for their advocacy work.

God bless this couple! Burying the dead is one of the corporal acts of mercy, as listed below (from Corporal and Spiritual Works of Mercy):
    * To feed the hungry;
    * To give drink to the thirsty;
    * To clothe the naked;
    * To harbour the harbourless;
    * To visit the sick;
    * To ransom the captive;
    * To bury the dead.
