  • Eileen is absolute inspiration. The people who know her undeniably use 2 words to describe her, "angelic" and "heroic." The talent/looks combination is a plus to her defining character strengths. Love her!!!

  • In life you rarely meet people that truly inspire you and help you search within yourself for that strength that seems to resonate from a etherial place within... Eileen Grubba is one of those people.

    What a light that walks among us.

  • @hadarnan8 Yes, it was caused from a bad vaccine. Too much of the live virus in it, is what they thought at the time.

  • @WNxMercy Active Polio is contagious. Mine was not. It was from a vaccination, and I was never contagious or a threat to anyone else. 

  • @MovieMonopoly highly.

  • @DeviousBetrayer If you live in a country without sufficient medical treatment or poverty, you can easily die from the plague in the 21 century.

  • really inspiring! daghan salamat!
