  • In March 2008, Snopes was alerted to a story about an injured bald eagle named Freedom who was supposedly nursed back to health with the help of a cancer survivor. The newsroom received an email with the below-transcribed message: In 2008, Jeff Guidry penned the account reproduced above, recounting his ten-year experience with Freedom and his own battle with cancer. Guidry is a rock and rhythm-and-blues guitarist who lives in Monroe, Washington, and volunteers his spare time working as a member of the educational team at the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center, a wildlife care center located in Everett, Washington that provides food, shelter, and rehabilitation to orphaned and injured wildlife. Beginning in August 1998, Guidry and the staff at Sarvey spent weeks tending to Freedom, a baby eagle who had been brought in emaciated and covered in lice, with two broken wings, and nursed her back to health. Another account of Freedom’s rescue and subsequent healing (entitled The Circle of Healing), also authored by Guidry, was published on the Sarvey Wildlife Care Center’s website, as was a short piece about Freedom’s impromptu Birthday Bash. In 2010, Guidry published a longer account of his and Freedom’s story with a book titled, An Eagle Named Freedom: My True Story of a Remarkable Friendship. Additional photos of Freedom and Guidry can be viewed here. (en)
