This medal belonged to my mother

She has been on Supplemental Security Income, used drugs, had numerous love affairs ... Fiona Gélin, the 55-year-old French actress, daughter of actor Daniel Gélin, shared her story on the website of the French newspaper France Dimanche, on February 9, 2018:

F.G.: For the past three years, I have been getting Supplemental Security Income, and ‘thanks’ to osteoarthritis, I have also been receiving the allowance for adults with disabilities since the beginning of this year. But what makes me happy is that I have been walking normally since last June. I owe this miracle to a medal that I found in an old article of clothing that I wore 10 years ago. This medal belonged to my mother.

France-Dimanche: Do you believe in miracles?

F.G.: Because of what happened, I have to! I have been praying to the Virgin Mary every morning since 1996. She is even tattooed on my shoulder! Before that I was an atheist. I became a believer following my first stay at the Sainte-Anne psychiatric hospital in Paris (France).
