Read the one-of-a-kind love story below.



Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization devoted to reform of abused children. According to their website, their main goal is to “educate the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery.”
Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.
Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the boy’s home and decided to alert social services.
Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the Dreamcatchers for Abused Children organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.
Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.
Needless to say, the list melted many people’s hearts. Many took their time to comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.
This is the list:
“Things I want in my family:
I want food and water.
Don’t hit on me.
A house with running water and lights.
I want love.
Mom and dad don’t fight.
I want no drugs.
Don’t kill my pets.
Help with school.
Nice clean clothes.
No lice. No bug in house.
Clean house.
Clean bed with covers.
Don’t sell my toys.
Treated fair.
Don’t get drunk.
Tv in house.
Let me keep my school stuff.
Nice shoes.
My own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
Toothbrush.”
This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.

The connection between a mother and her baby is the strongest there is. From the moment moms learn they are expecting, the love for their little bundle of joy grows more and more with each passing day. The same goes for animals.
When a panda named Min-Min gave birth, the staff at the ZOO needed to run some tests on the baby. Typically, the baby should have stayed with the mother right after birth, but in this case, zookeepers had to check on its welfare. They were aware that taking the little one away from the mother could affect their bond, but they simply needed to take the risk.
“In these early weeks, panda mothers don’t leave their cubs, even when they need to eat or drink,” National Geographic explains. That is because baby pandas are completely helpless right after birth. They are blind and unable to regulate their body temperature on their own. On op of that, they don’t know how to crawl or hold themselves up. The little ones can’t poop or pee on their own either.
This is why everyone prayed for Min-Min to accept her baby.
When they placed the little one in Min-Min’s enclosure, she showed little interest in it. She ignored the baby and turned away from it.
But after some time, Min-Min’s maternal instinct finally kicked in. She approached closer, took her baby in her mouth, and carried it over to a corner where she started cuddling it, making a mother and baby bond for good.
Watch Min Min’s heartwarming reunion with her cub in the video below!

Chloe is a 14-year-old canine who got lost recently. She and a neighboring dog left their houses and embarked on an adventure. Days later, the other dog returned home, but Chloe was nowhere to be seen. Her owners looked for her everywhere, but to no avail.
The family lives on the east side of Mount Bross in Colorado, so many believed Chloe got lost there in the mountain, and after some hikers said how they heard barking while in the woods, it was very likely Chloe was indeed there.
When a woman named Trinity Smith read on Facebook how Chloe could be trapped on the mountain, she decided to investigate. When she hiked up the mountain, she could hear the barking herself, but getting to the dog wasn’t easy so she decided to get back the following day together with her boyfriend, Sean Nichols.
The next day, Trinity and Sean spend around 4 hours on the mountain, but there was no sign of Chloe. And just when they wanted to give up their search for the day, they heard a faint bark.
“I started to give up, thinking she hadn’t made it through the night,” Trinity told CBS News. “Then (I heard) that little bark, and the adrenaline started going again.”
“We got her!!!!” Trinity posted on Facebook after finding Chloe. “After hours and hours of yelling and climbing Sean Nichols & I finally brought this sweet, scared, hungry girl down to safety. The poor baby was stuck up there for over a month. After coming back down with her, Chloe’s owners were patiently waiting to see if this was their dog that they had been missing for 6 weeks who had ran off with another neighborhood pup. They assumed after a month of searching that their 13-year-old baby was gone forever.”
During the long time on that mountain, Chloe lost a lot of weight, but the good thing is that she’s now home and recovering from the traumatic experience all thanks to Trinity.

Adriana Martinez, the mother of the gunman responsible for the deadliest school shooting in the US since Newtown, Connecticut, nearly ten years ago, begged for forgiveness for her and her son.
Speaking to the CNN affiliate Televisa, the mother said with tears in her eyes: “I have no words. I have no words to say. I don’t know what he was thinking.”
She spoke in Spanish and her comments were translated by CNN: “He had his reasons for doing what he did. And please don’t judge him. I only want the innocent children who died to forgive me.” She, however, didn’t say what those reasons might be.
Martinez’s son, Salvador Ramos, bought the fire arms the same day he turned 18. Before starting the fire at the Robb Elementary School and killing 19 children and two teachers, he shot his grandmother in the head. She’s currently recovering despite the severity of the injury she sustained.
Asked to describe her son, Martinez said that he was quiet. The gunman’s grandfather described him in the same manner when speaking of his grandson.
Ramos’ father, whom the shooter wasn’t particularly close to, told the Daily Beast: “I just want the people to know I’m sorry, man, [for] what my son did.
“He should’ve just killed me, you know, instead of doing something like that to someone.”
Following the shooting, Ramos was gunned down by a special agent.

A young woman named Katelynn Martinez had a friendly nature when she was young, but sadly, there were no plenty of kids around the neighborhood so she was bored most of time. Well, it was like that until she met two special people who remained a huge part of her life throughout the years.
One day, Katelynn knocked on their door and told them how she needed to ask them a very important question. Both Bill and Arlene were eager to hear what the little girl had to say. She then looked straight into their eyes and said: “Will you guys be my grandparents?”
Of course, Kaytlynn was still very young and had no idea how much those words meant to the couple who never had children on their own, and with that, no chance to ever have a grandchild. They started crying tears of joy and gave the girl a resounding “yes.”
Bill then printed a certificate of adoption which said that they were both officially adopted by their new “granddaughter.”
Over the years, the three remained very close and the certificate stood hanged on the wall.
Bill and Arlene always encouraged Katelynn to be hard-working and attend college. However, when the time came for her to start college, she decided not to because it cost a lot more than she and her parents could afford.
Bill and Arlene told Katelynn that they were saving up for her studies the moment the three of them signed the printed certificate. That meant the world to Katelynn. At that point, she wanted to learn why her “adopted” grandparents never had kids on their own. The couple explained that they both came from difficult backgrounds and had a tough life. That made Arlene turn to alcohol, and up until the point she managed to overcome her addiction, it was already too late to have children. They also said that they regretted not having children until the moment she entered their life and made it better. They truly considered her the kid they never had.
Sadly, in 2013, just two days short of the anniversary of their adoption, Bill called Katelynn and told her that Arlene passed away. It was a huge blow for Katelynn who loved Arlene as her real grandmother.
It is beautiful how these neighbors became a family over the years. Katelynn remembers sharing some of the best moments of her life with her grandparents and she’s forever grateful for everything they did for her and how much happiness they brought in her life.

The sad reality is that a huge number of dogs are being abandoned by irresponsible owners who simply decide they don’t want a pet in their life any longer. Most of these animals end up on the streets, while some find themselves at shelters. One such place was where a man named Steve Moore found his best friend, a three-year-old Golden Retriever named Jackson.
Whenever Moore needed to go somewhere, he would take sweet Jackson with him. However, as most shops won’t allow pets inside, and Moore didn’t want leaving Jackson alone inside the car, he trained him to wait for him while ignoring any distractions such as loud noises or passersby who feel the urge to get closer and pet him. The training involved a lot of trips and treats as the dog perfected his impulse-control skills.
These days, while Moore is running errands, he leaves Jackson outside with a cute sign around his neck which says: “Dad told me to wait here. Me waiting.”
These sweet dog is very patient and never leaves the place where Moore tells him to wait at. He just stands there until he spots his favorite human getting out of the store.
A number of people who see Jackson in front of Target with the sign around his neck assume he’s looking for a home or some food, but when they get closer and realize that he’s one happy and loved dog, they just smile and pet him on the head.
Moore says that he’s surprised at the number of people who would love Jackson to be their dog while just shortly ago he was a sad dog at a shelter that nobody wanted to give a second chance and a loving home.

Dogs are the best
Five-year-old Alex Nash was invited to a friend’s birthday party at a dry ski slope in Plymouth, Devon, just before Christmas. His parents confirmed Alex’s attendance and the boy was looking forward to it, but on the day of the party they realized that Alex was double-booked and due to spend some time with his grandparents, which is exactly what the boy did.
Some days later, Alex’s parents, Derek Nash and Tanya Walsh, found a brown envelope inside their son’s backpack. When they opened it, they were left in complete shock. It was an invoice which required from them to pay a £15.95 no-show fee to Julie Lawrence, the mother of the child whose birthday party Alex missed.
“It was an invoice for a ‘child no-show’ fee for the party… and it was a proper invoice with full official details, even her bank details, and e-mail address, and name,” Nash told BBC News.
According to Alex’s mom, they didn’t call Lawrence to tell her that they changed their mind about the party because they couldn’t get in touch with her as they couldn’t find the invite. What’s most, Tanya even said how they weren’t sure if they had one.
Party guests enjoyed “three toboggan runs, a snow tube ride, and a hot birthday meal with ice cream or jelly during the Christmas holidays.” As Alex didn’t show up after his parents confirmed his attendance, Lawrence believed they were supposed to pay for the cost she made.
Nash said they weren’t happy about the invoice. He even told school officials about it and confronted Lawrence, saying she wouldn’t receive a penny from him. Lawrence on the other hand threatened to take Nash and Tanya to the small claims court because they refused to pay. She said they were supposed to inform her about Alex not coming to her son’s party beforehand as they had her contact details written on the invite.
The boys’ friendship fell victim to conflict. According to Alex’s parents, the two children no longer play together at school.
