From her childhood in Yugoslavia to the Nobel Peace Prize, when called to serve by God, she responded like no other in modern times. Mother Teresa's phenomenal labors on behalf of the poor, unwanted and needy earned her the name the Saint of the Gutters. For over 50 years, Mother Teresa dedicated herself to the poorest of the poor. The order she founded the Missionaries of Charity grew to encompass over 3,000 members working in 25 countries. She earned countless accolades and awards, yet as her fame and influence grew, she remained unchanged, giving all she had to help the least fortunate.
