Mandan Miracle -Hope Never Gave Up “HOPE” – “Wept Like A Baby”

Hope Smith Facebook

I have to admit, when I saw her Facebook post, I shed a few tears as well

Today is Sunday, May 25th, and I am at work with a huge smile on my face. You see, it was less than two weeks ago when I wrote an article about Hope Smith - an amazing young lady who was really going through it - her three loves of her life went missing.

"Harder to do my job - on my mind 24/7 - I look for them everywhere. A ton of people have their eyes open"

Hope Smith is a nurse at Sanford Hospital, She works the overnight shift -try to imagine the pain of having your three beautiful horses go missing while caring for patients at work. Hope knew that she and her family had to act quick on this - her fear was that they were stolen.

UPDATE:5/13/25: My family has added a $500 REWARD for information that leads to arrest of the guilty party!-Involved: ND Stockmens, Morton County Sheriff,
 
-Involved: ND Stockmens, Morton Country Sheriff, Brand Inspector and every sale barn/auction house within 600 miles has been emailed their pictures
The Mandan community came alive - so many people shared the REWARD flyer, Hope received several tips of possible sightings of the horses - she went out to Minot to check on one of the tips - bottom line is that HOPE NEVER GAVE UP HOPE. She longed for the safe return of her family  - as the days went by slowly, many people would have just given up -
 Mandan Miracle 
After almost two weeks, the moment Hope had prayed for - news that there were three horses southwest of Mandan. Hope was at work when she received some pictures from her mom. Her Horses were found, and they were safe. Surrounded by some of her fellow Hospital workers, the reality kicked in "All my emotions came out. I wept like a baby"

 Trust me, Hope, you aren't the only one who found tears in their eyes when they saw your post :)
