Introduction

This site is dedicated to a very beautiful and charming girl, who had the misfortune to be born not quite the way she wanted to. She has led a singularly extraordinary life, but has always longed for the ordinary things most of us take for granted. While her path has been harder than most of us can imagine, she stayed true to her goals and was prepared to pay the price.

She won the hearts of millions of television viewers when she appeared on the BBC docu-drama Paddington Green. In the show we followed her progress from the going on the streets to becoming a celebrity, releasing a piano music CD that reached #14 in the charts. During this time she shared her innermost thoughts and sorrows, and won the hearts of viewers all over Britain and elsewhere. Her name is Jackie McAuliffe, and this site is our way of showing our love and gratitude.

If I can stop one heart from breaking,
  I shall not live in vain;
If I can ease one life the aching,
  Or cool one pain,
Or help one lonely person
  Into happiness again
I shall not live in vain.

-- Emily Dickinson
