Doing good and being helpful towards those who need it the most is what make this world go round. And during these times when most of us feel like humanity has failed us, stumbling upon people like young Matthew Resendez restore our faith and give us hope that things are not as bad as they look.
While he was on the job at the local Burger King in an area where lots of homeless people stick around, one of them entered the restaurant and showed Matthew a handful of coins. He then asked whether they were offering a meal for $0,50 because it was all he had.
This man wasn’t asking for mercy, he was ready to pay for his food, although he didn’t know that what he had wasn’t enough even for the cheapest meal on the menu.
However, Mathew just couldn’t tell the man to leave because he knew he was hungry so he decided to do a good deed.

He paid for the homeless man’s food using his own money and it was beyond touching.
After he got home and told his mom what he did, she decided to share the story with her friends never assuming it will go viral.
This is what Mathew’s mom Michelle had to say:
“Proud mom moment! Matthew worked this evening and a homeless gentleman walked in the restaurant with 50 cents and asked if there was anything on the menu he could buy.Matthew asked him what he would order if he could, and the man said anything would help his hunger pains…”Facebook/Michelle Resendez“So Matthew rung him up for a hearty meal and then used his own debit card to pay for the man’s meal.He handed him the receipt and told him to relax and take a seat. The story could end there and it would be a happy ending, but apparently, a woman watched my son during his random act of kindness.Not only did she write the company to let them know about the caring employee they had working for them, [but] she also rewarded my son with a very generous tip!So proud to be his mom and I can pat myself on the back knowing that I’ve played a part in raising this big-hearted young man.”
Although he’s still very young, Mathew knows empathy and compassion. He believes that we are equal and that everyone deserves to be treated with respect no matter their social status.

A woman named Amanda who was a surrogate mother in the past decided to do it again. An international couple got in touch with her with a help of a surrogacy agency and she agreed to carry their baby.
The procedure was a successful one and Amanda fell pregnant with twins. She carried the little ones for nine months before she was able to hold them. James and Hannah were born perfectly healthy and Amanda was sure their biological parents couldn’t wait to take the little ones home. But that’s not what happened.
Source: TikTok
At first, they said they didn’t like the fact they needed to spend two weeks in quarantine upon arrival in the U.S. but even when the COVID-19 travel restrictions were abolished, the parents failed to show up and pick up their kids. With that, they also failed to establish their parental rights and Amanda and her husband were included on the infants’ birth certificates. The twins were supposed to be issued a new certificate after their parents brought them home and properly established parental privileges, as per the contract Amanda signed with them. However, up until now, they didn’t come to take their babies.

They did send Amanda money for the kids but she ordered them not to unless they plan to appear and receive James and Hannah.
The twins are now 14 months old and still living with Amanda and her family. Their biological parents haven’t contacted them for over 50 days.
Uncertain about what to do next, Amanda and her husband contacted a lawyer who would help them to figure out their next move.
lly Dirkes has heard the phrase “spoiled” many times. As a mother, she has had plenty of strangers and friends comment on her parenting methods. Many claim she “spoils her babies,” and they are convinced that they will never learn to be “independent.”
Rather than get worked up over these comments, Kelly often takes them with a smile on her face and moves on. She doesn’t let other people’s opinions bother her. They don’t know the entire story, and they don’t truly understand why Kelly spoils her babies. There’s a good reason why, and one day, while at Target, a woman commented for the umpteenth time that Kelly “spoils” her babies. Finally fed up with hearing the same phrase over and over again, Kelly took to Facebook to explain her actions.
If only everyone knew why Kelly “spoils” her babies…
Read on to learn why.
“Dear Woman in Target-
I’ve heard it before, you know. That I “spoil that baby”. You were convinced that she’d never learn to be “independent”. I smiled at you, kissed her head, and continued my shopping.
If you only knew what I know.”
“If you only knew how she spent the first ten months of her life utterly alone inside a sterile metal crib, with nothing to comfort her other than sucking her fingers.
If you only knew what her face looked like the moment her orphanage caregiver handed her to me to cradle for the very first time–fleeting moments of serenity commingled with sheer terror. No one had ever held her that way before, and she had no idea what she was supposed to do.
If you only knew that she would lay in her crib after waking and never cry–because up until now, no one would respond.”
“If you only knew that anxiety was a standard part of her day, along with banging her head on her crib rails and rocking herself for sensory input and comfort.
If you only knew that that baby in the carrier is heartbreakingly “independent” –and how we will spend minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, and years trying to override the part of her brain that screams “trauma” and “not safe”.
If you only knew what I know.
If you only knew that that baby now whimpers when she’s put down instead of when she is picked up.
If you only knew that that baby “sings” at the top of her lungs in the mornings and after her nap, because she knows that her chatter will bring someone to lift her out of her crib and change her diaper.
If you only knew that that baby rocks to sleep in her Mama’s or her Papa’s arms instead of rocking herself.
If you only knew that that baby made everyone cry the day she reached out for comfort, totally unprompted.
If you only knew what I know.”
“‘Spoiling that baby’ is the most important job I will ever have, and it is a privilege. I will carry her for a little while longer–or as long as she’ll let me–because she is learning that she is safe. That she belongs. That she is loved.
If you only knew…”

The story of J.J Vallow and his sister Tylee Ryan who went missing under suspicious circumstances raised a lot of red flags. The whole country had their eyes on the outcome and was praying for the siblings to be found safe and sound.
What raised a few eyebrows is the fact that the mother of the children got rid of her autistic son’s service dog just days before he disappeared. Until then, Bailey the Goldendoodle was by 7-year-old J.J’s side every single day and helped him with his everyday tasks and struggles.
When the dog’s trainer, Neal Mestas, got a call from Lori Vallow who told him how she wanted him to take her son’s dog back, he was puzzled. He knew Bailey and J.J got along perfectly, and this came as a surprise to him and later to the authorities who were working on the missing children’s case.
What was very peculiar was that the mother, Lori, found a new husband whom she moved to Hawaii with while her children were still nowhere to be found. Her new husband’s wife died just thirteen days before the two married. The children disappeared mere weeks after she moved with them from Arizona to Idaho in 2019.
After she failed to produce her kids, Lori was extradited to Idaho and Chad was arrested later in 2020 after the bodies of J.J and Tylee were discovered on his property.
Lori Vallow Daybell is in custody in Idaho alongside her husband Chad Daybell where they are both facing charges in the deaths of her children. They are also facing additional charges that connect them to the deaths of their former spouses. Both pleaded not guilty in Idaho.
The prosecutors is asking for a joint trial for them. Lori also underwent a mental health evaluation.
The trial might be delayed until January 2023 and they may be facing death penalty.
Rest in peace J.J and Tylee. We all pray for the justice to be served.

Bernie and Diane are the kind of people who restore our faith in humanity. Their incredible life story is both touching and inspiring as they remind us that the love we are willing to give can mean the world to those that are waiting to embrace it with arms wide open.
The couple has five boys who are now all grown up, so they decided to open the doors to their heart and home to a child in need of a family. So, they attended an adoption event. There, Diane’s attention was caught by a photo of a girl with dark eyes pinned to a bulletin board. Speaking of the time she had seen that photo, Diane recalls how she somehow knew that child was meant to be their daughter.
The Girl In The Window. Policeman Mark Holste from Florida, USA will never forgot the call he received on July 13th, 2005. A man reported seeing a mysterious, pale little girl in the window of his neighbour’s house.
However, once they showed interest in learning more about the girl, the caseworkers told them they should explore other options. But this didn’t stop this couple from their intention to get to know that girl better.
After insisting, one of the caseworkers explained how the girl, whose name was Danielle, was a subject of severe neglect and abuse while growing up. Until the age of seven, Danielle had never seen the sun or the sky. She spent those first years of her life locked in her mom’s Florida house. She couldn’t eat solid food or speak. Danielle slept on a soiled mattress.
When her case was revealed to the public back in 2007, people were shocked. Danielle’s mom lost parental rights and the girl was transferred to a group home.
Detective Mark Holste remembers the time he and his coworkers found Danielle. “I’ve been in law enforcement for 27 years now, and this is by far, bar none, the worst case of child neglect I’ve ever come across in my career,” he said of the case.
Bernie and Diane now knew all about the girl, but that didn’t stop them from adopting her. In fact, it made them love her even more. With the attention and the devotion they have given her, Danielle was able to overcome some of her behavioral and developmental issues.
They knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but they also knew behind the confusion and the stress, there was a little person inside, and she was reachable.
The progress Danielle was able to make with the support and the encouragement of her adoptive parents stunned the whole country. The three of them made us believe that miracles do happen, all we need is a little TLC.

Emma is a very exceptional dog. Her family adopted her from SNARR, an animal rescue center for dogs with special needs. She is paralyzed from the back down and can’t move her hind legs, but that doesn’t stop her from thriving. She knows she is surrounded by people who love her to the moon and back and would do anything to facilitate her moving.
Although she is lucky to be living with her humans, there is one special person whom she loves a bit more than the rest of the family members. That’s her daddy who is an airman and spends time abroad every now and then. This time he was deployed for six months, and that’s how long Emma hasn’t seen him. However, it was now time for him to get back home and guess who welcomed him at the door?
Emma is so excited and overwhelmed that she started crawling towards him, eagerly waiting to give him a kiss.
The video of the reunion is so touching that you can’t possibly watch it without shedding some tears.
We have never seen anything more precious than this.

This photo of a young boy was doing the rounds on Facebook, then very quickly got a huge amount of attention. The image, which was presumably taken inside a Walmart store, was shared thousands of times!
On his trip to Walmart with his mother, the boy went off by himself. When she found him just a short while after, she was ready to be cross with him for wandering off until she saw what he was doing!

“I had to run into Walmart. I turned around to make sure my son was next to me,” the caption of the photo which was initially shared by a Christian music station based in East Texas, 85.9 KVNE read.

When the mom found him, her son was kneeling at one of the benches towards the front of the store. Above the boy’s head was a poster which read: “Every second counts”
The caption continued:
“Instead of finding him by my side I found him kneeling in front of the missing children board praying.”
Ever since 1996, the retail chain Walmart and the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) have partnered to reunite missing children with their families. One of the ways they do it is by placing boards with photos of missing children.
“We know that 134 children were recovered after callers to 1-800-THE LOST specifically stated they recognized a child’s photo on a Wal-Mart or SAM’S CLUB board,” Ernie Allen, the president and CEO of NCMEC, said.
Facebook/kvneThe National Center for Missing and Exploited Children estimate that about 800,000 children are reported missing every year in the United States of America.

This very simple but powerful image went completely viral, everyone across the country just connected with the moment frozen in time by a photograph. Many of us just pass by those posters without taking a look, either because we don’t have the time or because we prefer to deny that they would ever be relevant to us. But this photo made a change and helped raise awareness, despite the fact that we don’t know if the story behind it is true.
One person on Facebook said something that really sums it up:
“Whether or not you believe in God really doesn’t matter. This was a child in Walmart who was thinking about others and doing the only thing he could to help. The world would be a better place if everyone followed his example.”

The iconic role of Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Rocky Horror Picture Show brought actor Tim Curry a worldwide fame. Over the years, this renowned actor and singer treated his audience with remarkable films and songs, but in 2012, his life changed after he suffered a stroke.
Born in Grappenhall, England, on April 19, 1946, Curry has always showed great love for music. Everyone who knew him well was certain he would achieve great things as a musician, and they were right, but what he conquered the world with has been his acting talent.

Curry attended the Kingswood School boarding school in Bath, and was destined for a life in show business. Later on, he attended Birmingham University. He graduated in 1968 with a combined degree in drama and theatre studies.
While studying in Birmingham, Curry shared a house with actor, screenwriter, and director Patrick Barlow. At the time, he was a major solo star.
“I remember being amazed by his extraordinary singing voice – it was just completely perfect, just something he was born with – it came ready-made,” Barlow told The Guardian.
“We would go to university parties and end up having a drink and whatever, and he would break out into song, this marvellous bluesy voice.”

Following his graduation, Curry and a couple of his friends moved to London to try their luck as performers. Once there, Curry auditioned for the production of the cult classic Hair. He did get a part but he nearly missed on performing because he needed to have some previous professional experience and an Equity card, which meant he needed to be a member of the Actors’ Equity Association. When asked if he had these two things, he lied about it and said yes. When the producers learned he tried to trick them, they could easily give him the axe, but they were so captivated by his presence and talent that they decided to sponsor him with union membership instead.
Everyone believed he would pursue a career in music and he was offered contracts, but he decided he wanted to do something else.
“I was offered things, recording contracts, offered to join groups. But as I thought about it, I got rather snippy. No, no, no, I decided, I want to be an actor,” he told Los Angeles Magazine.
“I treated Hair like a drama school. You were always able to rewrite your part. You built up your physical presence. And because everyone was competing for attention, you learned quite quickly to make your presence felt.”
Youtube/Watchmojo
This decision led to gigs with the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Glasgow Civic Repertory Company, and the Royal Court Theatre.
During this period, Curry was offered the role of the mad transvestite scientist Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Show musical. He was so great at it that he was offered the role when the musical got its Hollywood production.
“They asked me to audition for it, and I sang “Tutti Frutti,” which was appropriate, really. I started playing [Frank-N-Furter] as a German, then I saw the costume. It was quite diva,” he told Entertainment Weekly.
“I heard a woman on the bus one day saying, in this posh voice, ‘Are you looking at a new house when retiring or your place in the country?’ and I thought, ‘That’s it!’ Almost like the Queen. Well, it was a smash from the moment it opened. It was a tiny theater. There were only 60 seats. And then they brought it over to Los Angeles.”
Youtube/Watchmojo
Besides having a very fascinating career in film, he never entirely let go of his passion for music so he released three studio albums with A&M Records between 1978 and 1981. His hit Do The Rock reached No. 53 on the Billboard charts.
What followed were other cult roles in a number of films and series, including the role of infamous clown Pennywise in It (1990) and the professional pirate in Muppet Treasure Island.
Unfortunately, in 2012, Curry suffered a stroke. His family kept it a secret for some time, but the media learned of his health and it made headlines. As per reports, he had to undergo numerous physical and speech therapy.
“I’m doing well and I’m looking forward to it,” the 69-year-old actor told Los Angeles Magazine in 2015. “I’ve done a few benefits for the Actors Fund and I think it’s a marvelous organization. I hope not to have to use it.
“It’s not tough to maintain,” he added. “It is just part of my DNA.”

He spends his days doing what he loves, and that includes painting and gardening, among the rest. The garden on his property is exquisite.
“Since 2016 Tim has been appearing at Conventions to meet his fans and pose for photos and he continues to take part in private autograph signings each month,” his biography states.
“Tim has traveled extensively across the USA and Canada to make special guest appearances at large scale events such as Comic Con, MegaCon, GalaxyCon and Fan eXpo.”

From what we know, Tim Curry has never been married and doesn’t have children. He has a net worth of $14 million.
We are glad Curry is doing fine after the stoke and we wish he stays as optimistic as he is.
