Not all heroes wear capes, some come in the form of UPS drivers ready to go above and beyond for people in need of help.

Marco Angel, whose surname suits him just right, didn’t think twice before jumping into action of saving a young boy who was nearly crushed by the huge package delivered at his door.

Max is a very well-behaved young boy who is used to helping his mom around the house. One of his choirs is taking the packages left at their door inside the house, which is exactly what he did this time as well. However, this package, a huge garden hammock, was way bigger than what has been delivered to the family before.

Max went outside and tried taking the package with one hand while he was holding the door with the other. But things didn’t go as planned and the package almost fell over him. Max started calling for help unable to release himself.

Marco, who had just delivered the package and was crossing the street to get to his van, heard the cries for help. He immediately started running towards Max and lifted the heavy box, asking the little guy: “You okay, buddy?”

At that moment, Max’s mom, Traci Pratt, who was upstairs with her baby daughter at the time of what could easily turn into a freak accident, came at the door asking what had happened.

When she realized Marco saved her son, she couldn’t thank him enough. As for him, he told WBBM: “I pictured my boys in his situation, obviously, and you go into full parent mode, full dad mode.”

The video of the heroic rescue was later shared in the Facebook group Oak Park Moms from where it spread all over the Internet. Needles to say, Marco was dubbed a hero.

Max was glad he didn’t get injured and shared his story with us. Check it out below.

We all know just how much young children love animals. And that is exactly the case with the sweet girl from the video below. She’s holding a baby kitten in her hands as her parents film the bonding. However, there someone else in the room who’s not really happy with the sight, the kitten’s mommy.

As the cat hears the little one “crying” and probably feeling not that comfortable in her human sibling’s hands, she rushes to take it. The girl, however, refuses to let go of the kitten, and even tries to escape, but the cat mother doesn’t quit easily.

After a couple of tries, she has her baby with her, leaving the girl crying for her tiny friend.

The video put a smile on million people’s faces, and we are sure you will love it too. Well, at the end of the day, a mother is a mother, no matter if she’s a human or an animal.

A horrific accident left two families mourning the loss of their children, something no parent should ever experience.

Two high-school students, Kalen Hart and Lendon Byram, died in a car crash on their way to prom. The accident took place on Saturday, May 1, at around 5:15 p.m. local time in Arcadia, roughly 35 miles north of Indianapolis, as reported by Fox.

Hart was a senior at Hamilton Heights High School, while her prom date and boyfriend Byram attended Cathedral High School.

The news of their tragic passing shook the country and everyone who knew them and their families.

It has been reported that Byram was driving the vehicle at the time of the accident, while Hart was in the passenger seat. Two other high-school graduates were at the back of the car, and luckily, they didn’t sustain any serious injuries.

“We are deeply saddened by the loss of one of our own … due to injuries sustained in a traffic accident yesterday,” the Hamilton Heights School Corporation wrote on Sunday. “This is an unimaginable loss to these families and our school community.”

Hart’s heartbroken mother, Jody Bartrom Conaway, wrote: “My 18-year-old daughter, along with her boyfriend, were killed in an automobile accident on her way to prom. No parent should ever have to bury their child.” She has also shared a fundraiser on Facebook.

Our hearts go out to the grieving families. Rest in peace, Kalen Hart and Lendon Byram, you will never be forgotten.

Things you’ll understand only if you have a grandma in your life

If you are looking for a synonym for love, compassion, care, and selflessness, that one word which stands for all is probably the word GRANDMA.

Grandmothers are those special individuals in the life of children that no one can ever replace. If you are one of those people fortunate enough to have their grandmas in their life and by their side then you know what we are talking about.

The list of what makes grandmas our superheroes is endless. For one, they are the best chefs there are. They always put on the plate not only food but also their heart and in their warm home there are always a bunch of cookies and candies and that reminds us of our younger days when everything seemed so carefree.

If you ever find yourself in trouble, your grandma is always someone you can count on. They will never leave your side and will always be supportive.

The grandmas’ arms are the safest place to be whenever we feel down or things don’t turn as we expected. One warm word coming from their mouth is more than enough to calm our soul down and give us the strength to move on.

Grandmas represent a whole world in a single woman. Their life experience and wisdom make them the best person to turn to when we need valuable advice. Nothing really beats grandmas’ love for her grandchildren, they are her whole world and there is nothing she wouldn’t do for their well being.

No matter how old we get, we will always be children at our grandmas’ eyes. They are the piece of our childhood that we cherish the most.

If you still have this very special person in your life tell them you love them today and remind them of what their presence really means to you!

Before Bill Gates married Melinda, whom he met when she started working for Microsoft back in the day, he dated another woman who remained a very significant person to him his entire life. Now, after the news that the founders of one of the biggest foundations there are, Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which donated a grant of $1.75 billion to vaccine initiatives, diagnostics and research during the coronavirus pandemic, are divorcing, the truth about Bill’s relationship to his ex-girlfriend Ann Winblad came to light.

Bill and Ann, who is a venture capitalist, started a relationship after they met at a Ben Rosen-Esther Dyson computer conference in 1984. They both shared passion for high tech and clicked right away.

Although they broke up three years later, the two have remained very close. According to an article published by Time Magazine, Bill made an agreement with Melinda to be able to spend a weekend with Ann every year, which in fact was the case, as per writer Walter Isaacson.

The two were reported to have been spending a long-weekend each spring at Ann’s beach cottage in North Carolina where they would take long walks, hang glide, and ride dune biggies.

In fact, some magazines wrote that Bill even asked for Ann’s approval when he wanted to marry Melinda, and she was reported to had said how Melinda was the perfect match for him and gave him her blessings.

Ann is married to San Francisco private investigator Edward Alex Kline, the younger brother of actor Kevin Kline.

As per Time, Ann commented her relationship with Bill and spending a weekend with him each year saying that they share their thoughts about the world and themselves. “And we marvel about how, as two young overachievers, we began a great adventure on the fringes of a little-known industry and it landed us at the center of an amazing universe.”

After the split of Bill and Melinda, which is dubbed one of the most expensive divorces in the world, we can’t wait to see how the enormous wealth between the former spouses will be divided.

Prince Philip’s cause of death revealed a month after his passing

Her Majesty The Queen described the passing of her loving husband of 73 years as a “miracle,” referring to the fact that he died peacefully at home, which was his wish, and not at the hospital under strict COVID regulations, according to Prince Andrew.

It was also her who had shared the sad news of his passing. “It is with deep sorrow that Her Majesty The Queen has announced the death of her beloved husband, His Royal Highness The Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. His Royal Highness passed away peacefully this morning at Windsor Castle. The Royal Family join with people around the world in mourning his loss,” the Buckingham Palace posted.

Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, passed away on April 9, 2021, two months before what would have been his milestone birthday.

A month before he died, Prince Philip spent some time at the hospital because of declining health.

Now, some four weeks later, the cause of his death has been revealed by Sir Huw Thomas who has been caring for the Duke of Edinburgh and Queen Elizabeth since 2014. It is confirmed that Prince Philip died of old age, as reported by The Telegraph.

Prince Philip was a loving husband, father of four, a grandfather, and a great-grandfather. He was described by the Queen as her “strength and stay.” Prince William said of his grandfather: “My grandfather’s century of life was defined by service – to his country and Commonwealth, to his wife and Queen, and to our family.

“I feel lucky to have not just had his example to guide me, but his enduring presence well into my own adult life – both through good times and the hardest days.

“I will always be grateful that my wife had so many years to get to know my grandfather and for the kindness he showed her.

“I will never take for granted the special memories my children will always have of their great-grandpa coming to collect them in his carriage and seeing for themselves his infectious sense of adventure as well as his mischievous sense of humor!”

Harry also paid tribute to the man who was extremely supportive of him and his brother throughout the years, especially at the time when they lost their mother.

“He was authentically himself, with a seriously sharp wit, and could hold the attention of any room due to his charm – and also because you never knew what he might say next.

“He will be remembered as the longest reigning consort to the monarch, a decorated serviceman, a prince and a duke,” Harry said.

“But to me, like many of you who have lost a loved one or grandparent over the pain of this past year, he was my grandpa: master of the barbecue, legend of banter, and cheeky right ’til the end.”

Rest in peace, Prince Philip.

Girl with deformity banned from Pre-K by owners because she “will scare other kids”

The sad reality is that people who are in any way considered ‘different’ are very likely to experience discrimination in their life. It looks like the societies have a long way to go until they learn to accept every person the way they are.

Sofya Zakharova is a girl from Russia who was born with a deformity of the skull and fused fingers and toes. Despite that, she is a very bright and happy child whose parents love her to the moon and back and would do all in their power for her to thrive. Sadly, the place where they live isn’t really open to embracing differences so little Sofya was banned from attending pre-k because of her looks.

The problem is that they live in a rural area in an apartment with no heating and no water and a single pre-k institution.

The reason why the manager of the pre-k refused to let Sofya attend the facility is that “she would scare other kids.” Her parents were devastated to hear this. They knew their girl might be stared at once she grows older, but never expected for her to be discriminated from such a young age.

Russia does have some anti-discrimination laws, but they are yet to be shaped.

After the story of Sofya spread around, a charity organization from the area, Rainbow Goodness decided to step in and try convincing the pre-k to enroll Sofya, but the small-minded manager said he would only let that happen if she undergoes a corrective surgery. The parents are poor and can barely provide food, let alone a surgery of that type. Childhood psychology experts got involved as well and explained how Sofya should be around other kids and interact with them, but the day care is still refusing to change their ridiculous decision.

But although the charity failed at helping with the pre-k issue, they still managed to move the Zakharovas to a different apartment with gas and running water.

The local government decided to step in and provide Sofya with a surgery, so she will soon be flying to Moscow. But no matter how much the parents appreciate the help they are getting, what they truly want is for the anti-discrimination laws to be applied with full force so that no other child will ever have to go through the same ordeal as their child.

Mom claims employees at daycare center broke her 3-month-old daughter’s arm

Daycare centers should be the safest places for young children to be. Sadly, that isn’t always the case. We hear too often of little kids being treated in an abusive and neglectful manner by those who are supposed to take great care of them.

A mother named Alecia Jenkins from Spring, Texas, says that the employees at the Children Lighthouse Daycare in Spring Harmony broke her 3-month-old daughter’s arm.

After her maternity leave was over, Jenkins returned to her job as a second-grade teacher and left her baby girl at the daycare center for the first time on April 12. Between teaching classes, Jenkins monitored her baby through the cameras and that’s when she saw one of the employees at the daycare center lifting the little one in panic. She could be seen running to the phone and calling her coworkers who gathered around Jenkins’ baby.

It was more than obvious something was wrong. When the worried mother arrived to pick her baby girl, she could see the little one’s arm was limb. The staff assured her it wasn’t serious. “They said she’ll be ok. She may have slept on her arm wrong. It may just have to be popped back into place, it’ll be alright,” the mom told FOX26Houston.

Jenkins drove her daughter to the ER for an x-ray which showed the baby’s arm was broken. “The humerus bone, there was a fracture in that bone. They said it’s typically related to child abuse situations,” she said.

FOX26Houston reported that Jenkins is now suing the daycare for over one million dollars and states that an investigation was launched a day after the incident took place.

Speaking to the outlet, the mother said: “She’s healing. It’s been rough but as the days go on, I think she’s getting stronger. For this to happen on the first day of daycare, has ruined me and my perspective on daycares and just being able to trust people with my baby.”

The baby will have to take medications and wear a cast for six weeks until her arm heals.
