 * If she had not taught the school children in Manitoba, they would not be educated and have less chance of survival
 * If she had not become a missionary, she would not go to India or Onion Lake
 * If she did not go to India she would not have become infected with Malaria, but the children there would not have been taught
 * If she did not go to Onion Lake there would not be a school there and the school would not expand to accept many children
 * If the children did not go to school they would not be educated and gain an understanding of the world surrounding them and basics - they would turn to agricultural work
 * If she did not attain a medical degree and become a doctor, the people at Onion Lake and the surrounding area would not be cured of sickness or attended to
 * The illnesses would lead to deaths of many people upon encountering mild diseases
 * If she had not been a dedicated, independent woman, thousands of people would not have a better life
