We often speak of the importance of offering kindness and a helping hand to those in need, but how many of us are truly willing to step in for someone who is less fortunate or found themselves in trouble?

Teo Jordan is an 18-year-old high school senior who taught us a lesson about humanity and about kindness. This young man doesn’t have a lot of money. In fact, he’s working at his local Kroger grocery store in order to be able to help his family during these tough times for the humanity when the pandemic closed a huge number of work places and left millions jobless and even homeless. He’s also saving for a car.

However, being in a difficult situation himself didn’t prevent him from doing good for a complete stranger who was shopping at the grocery store where he works.

Namely, while on the job, Teo noticed that one of the customers was short of money and couldn’t pay for the products he picked. The cashier told him that he needed to return some of the items back. It was then that Teo decided to give the man the $35 dollars he was missing.

“I just seen I wanted to help the guy. I saw that he didn’t have the money for all the groceries that he wanted. The cashier told him he would have to put some of the thing back so I just thought in my head I would give him this $35 so he could have all the food that he wants,” the young man told WLWT.

It was a beautiful act of kindness that didn’t go unnoticed.

Teo’s colleagues praised his action and shared the uplifting story around. When Teo’s mom heard what her son did, she said: “I am proud of Teo. I’m overwhelmed with joy. You try to instill in your kids right and wrong but you don’t know if they comprehend, so yes I’m very proud,” as per WLWT.

Many of the people who stumbled upon the story of kindness and hope offered to give Teo some money for the car he was planning on buying and pay forward to him for his good deed.

His mom set up a GoFundMe page which raised $3,345.

However, that wasn’t all. Teo’s school, Covington Independent Public Schools, posted on their Facebook page that the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority gifted Teo $1,000 to help him with his university expenses.

We are happy the story of Teo’s deed spread around because it serves as a sparkle of positivity during these hard times we are all experiencing.

Meghan Markle and son Archie spoke to the Queen before Prince Philip’s funeral

Although heavily pregnant Meghan Markle wasn’t able to attend the funeral of Prince Philip because she was advised by her physician not to travel and watched the ceremony on television, she still found a way to say her goodbye to the great man she had an awesome relationship with. Meghan sent a wreath and a handwritten note and showed her tribute and respect to The Duke of Edinburgh.

The funeral ceremony itself wasn’t only about honoring the late Duke, as all eyes were also on his grandsons, Harry and William, whose relationship started breaking up following the Megxit when The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties and moved to the State. The two brothers seemed to get even more estranged after the bombshell interview.

A lot has been revealed and the couple spoke of their relationship with the royal family. Harry said he believed his brother and father were trapped in the system, while Meghan spoke of her suicidal thoughts and even brought up the question of racism within the royals.

It has been revealed by a number of outlets and magazines that Harry met with his father and brother on two separate occasions while in Britain, but not much has been fixed regarding their relationship.

Harry even missed his grandma’s 95th birthday as he decided to return home to Meghan and Archie a day prior to the “scaled-down” celebration.

However, People reported that Meghan reached to the Queen and she and Archie spoke to her before the funeral. She also called Harry every day and “insisted to him every day though that they are fine. She hasn’t wanted him to worry,” but he still wanted to get back to California as soon as possible. “Meghan and Archie also spoke with the Queen earlier this week,” the source was reported to have said.

Back in February, Prince Harry told comedian James Corden that his grandparents were using Zoom to communicate with the Sussexes. “They’ve seen Archie running around,” Harry revealed.

William and Harry will meet again in July in order to approve the final design of their late mother’s statue which will be placed in the Sunken Garden, to the east of Kensington Palace. Maybe then, they will find a way to reconcile.

Mom posts pics of her nails on Facebook – gets message that could save her life

Nowadays, in the era of the social networking sites, we are connected as never before. 

Having lots of virtual friends, we sometimes tend to share interesting things of our life with them such as anecdotes, photos of places we visit, what we eat, and how we have fun. Oftentimes, we also use these sites to share our thoughts and even ask for help. 

A 53-year-old mom named Jean Williams Taylor thought her curved nails looked funny so she decided to post some photos of them online. Little did she know that those photos could save her life. 

Jean was never bothered by the way her nails curved because she was certain it was due to genetics. But then, someone posted a comment under her photo saying that she should visit a doctor as her nails were a sign that something serious was happening to her lungs. 

After she read the comment she realized that her mom who died of lung cancer had her nails curved as well, but she had no idea those two things were related. 

Feeling a bit scared from what she read, Jenny visited the hospital where she was told that her nails condition was knows as “finger clubbing,” “digital clubbing,” or “Hippocratic nails” and in many cases it showed issues with the heart or the lungs. 

After doctors ran a number of tests, they discovered that Jean had two tumors the size of golf balls in her lungs.

Although she was concerned by the news, she was also lucky she found about it just in time. If she hadn’t shared the photos online, she would have continued believing it was normal to have such nails and she would have never visited the hospital. 

Now she’s sharing her story to serve as a warning for others. 

“That feels great,” Jean said. “I have actually got a lot of individuals sending me shares of their nails, however I’m no specialist I have actually just been detected less than 2 days.”

Our body always finds a way to send us a message about a problem we have and the nails are in many cases an indicator. 

Whenever you feel something is different regarding your body, always consult a doctor.

Please share this story with your friends. Who knows, you may save someone’s life.

Nancee Lingg, 82, found herself exhausted from the long flight after she landed at the Appleton International Airport. As no one was around to help her with her heavy bags, a young man who spotted Nancee offered to lend her a helping hand which she was more than happy to accept.

As the kind stranger carried Nancees luggage out of the plane, a flight attendant told them that someone would be waiting for her with a wheelchair. However, that didn’t happen and both Nancee and the young man could see that all of the wheelchairs were folded up. Luckily, the kind stranger was again more than happy to help the elderly lady. He grabbed a wheelchair and offered to push her. Nancee was so glad she wasn’t left all by herself.

However, she had no idea who the man helping her really was until she met with her granddaughter Teresa Lingg Knuth who recognized the kind stranger as NFL running back Aaron Jones.

His act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed. A woman at the airport that goes by the name Momica on Twitter snapped a photo of the Packers player and shared it with the caption: “Just watched Packers Aaron Jones push a random lady through the Appleton airport because there was no there to push her. GO PACK GO”

Fans went crazy over the player’s action, and Teresa herself commented with a photo of him and Nancee writing it was her grandma he helped.

The Packers coach Mike McCarthy also responded to the tweet with a statement. “I’ll just say about Aaron Jones and our players: I’m thankful that everybody else is getting to see what I get to see pretty much every day. I mean, this is a tremendous locker room. We’ve been very fortunate and blessed with the caliber of character that we have in our locker room,” he wrote.

On Aaron’s social media accounts we can see plenty of photos of him with fans and it looks like he truly is a very grounded man despite being a famous name in the world of sport.

Aaron is the perfect example that no matter who we are, we should never lose the human side of us and be there for people whenever they need help. Way to go Aaron.

Prince Philip’s body will be moved when Queen Elizabeth dies so they can rest together

The funeral ceremony of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, was broadcasted and seen by over 13 million people in UK only. He passed away on April 9, and was laid to rest at the St. George’s Chapel on April 17.

Only 30 of his closest family members and friends were in attendance due to the strict protocols imposed because of the ongoing pandemic.

The Duke’s coffin was lowered into a hidden vault located beneath the chapel. That same location is the resting place of many members of the royalty, among which George III, George IV, George V of Hanover, and William IV. Other royals buried there are Queen Victoria’s father, Prince Edward, George III’s wife Queen Charlotte, and Queen Mary’s grandfather Prince Adolphus, as per Daily Mail.

Prince Philip is the 25th royal to be buried at St. George’s Chapel. However, that is not his permanent resting place.

After Queen Elizabeth dies, Prince Philip’s body would be moved next to hers at the Church’s King George VI Memorial Chapel where the bodies of Queen Elizabeth’s father, King George VI, and mother, Elizabeth, are laid to rest.

The Chapel was added on to the north side of St George’s behind the North Quire Aisle in 1969 after King George VI’s death. The pale stone annex is marked with a black stone slab set into the floor on which the names of Queen Elizabeth’s parents, along with their years of birth and death, are engraved in gold letters.

Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth’s love was truly one of a kind. He was her “strength and stay.” Rest in peace Prince Philip.

Queen Elizabeth II celebrated her 95th birthday with “scaled-down” event

Due to the passing of Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh, the Queen celebrated her birthday quite differently this year. Few days before the birthday, it was announced that she would spend the day at Windsor in the company of her closest family, but no further details had been revealed.

As described by Bazaar, the event was planned to be “a scaled-down get-together.”

Prince Harry, who arrived to Britain for his grandfather’s funeral and met with his family after over a year, didn’t stay for his grandma’s birthday celebration. He was eager to get back to the States and be with his wife Meghan and son Archie. We, however, believe that the Queen’s children and the rest of her grandchildren and great-grand children were in attendance and by her side on the special day that she marked without her beloved husband of 73 years by her side.

Telegraph reported that even before Prince Philip’s passing, the Queen decided she wouldn’t be marking her birthday in any meaningful way as she planned for the attention to go to the Duke and what was supposed to be his milestone birthday. Prince Philip passed away two months before turning 100.

The traditional gun salutes, which take place at Hyde Park and the Tower of London to mark the queen’s birthday, didn’t happen for a second year in a row. Last year, the tradition took a pause because of the ongoing pandemic, and this year, because of the Duke’s passing.

Trooping the Colour, the Queen’s annual summertime birthday celebration, will not be taking place this year, neither will the Palace release a new portrait of the Her Majesty the Queen.

Queen Elizabeth is back to her royal duties. The Buckingham Palace has confirmed that she will be attending the state opening of parliament at the Palace of Westminster on May 11, as per Telegraph.

She will personally respond to the messages from the world leaders who reached to her after her husband’s passing and expressed their condolences.

The Queen is going through some rough time but we are glad she has her family by her side and the support from her people in these days of pain and grief.

Royal experts believe Prince Charles will “ditch” the Sussexes from the royal family once he becomes a king

Prince Charles wasn’t afraid to let his emotions flow during the funeral service of his beloved father Prince Philip. The future king, who is expected to appear more in public after his father’s passing and to be given more freedom in the decision making processes regarding the royal family, released a statement honoring late Prince Philip.

“My dear Papa was a very special person who I think above all else would have been amazed by the reaction and the touching things that have been said about him and from that point of view we are, my family, deeply grateful for all that,” Prince Charles said.

Photos of him shedding tears of grief went viral and many tabloids wrote of the closeness and love between Charles and Philip throughout the years.

And as the farewell to The Duke of Edinburgh was the top topic since his passing on April 9, 2021, the heated relationship between Harry and William was as much discussed subject since Harry’s arrival to Britain.

As per Daily Mail, Princess Anne, Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, made sure not to acknowledge Harry before or during Saturday’s funeral. In fact, according to the same source “ironically the only one who has expressed any sympathy towards him [Harry] is Prince Andrew.” He knew “from Sarah Ferguson – and now first-hand – how it feels to be the outsider, which Harry very much is,” the source added. “As far as the others are concerned, there is a deep sense of protection towards the Queen and resentment towards Harry. There is little sympathy for him after what he and Meghan said on Oprah.”

Prince Charles haven’t spoken publicly regarding everything that was brought up by his son Harry and his daughter-in-law, Meghan Markle, but sources say he wasn’t happy with their interview that caused a stir.

Entertainment Tonight royal correspondent Katie Nicholl told Fox: “My understanding is that Prince Charles did want to issue a more detailed statement to the Oprah interview and possibly address some of those issues point by point.”

Another royal expert, US Weekly’s Christina Garibaldi said: “I feel that when Charles saw this interview, he was probably really angry about it. Maybe he’s just kind of on the defense.”

Angela Levin, a royal expert, was quoted by Express saying that Charles won’t be taking Harry’s side. “Prince Charles has wanted for a very long time to cut the monarchy down to save costs and to make people be worth the money that they got from the taxpayer,” Levin told TalkRADIO, as per Express. “I imagine that might be when Harry and Meghan are ditched from being members of the Royal family.”

Harry left Britain a day prior to the Queen’s 95th birthday in order to be able to be with his wife and son.

Mom is outraged after teacher snatches the mic away from her autistic son during a Thanksgiving school play

As they grow up and learn about the world that surrounds them, little children should be given all the love and support because that’s the only way of helping them turn into caring human beings themselves. 

Most kids are very sensitive and vulnerable so we should mind the way we address them, otherwise, they may lose their confidence in themselves and never retrieve it back. 

This is especially true for children with special needs. They sometimes need more attention and a little bit more love and we should always be ready to give it to them. 

Unfortunately, not many are willing to do that and that’s the biggest issue with our societies. 

One mom from Nutter Fort, West Virginia, named Amanda Riddle shared a heartbreaking video of her son’s class performance for Thanksgiving. As all of the kids took their turn to speak, her son Caleb who is mildly autistic was the last one to share his part, but just as he got close to the mic his teacher snatched it away. 

The poor boy could be heard screaming, “Oh no” as he sobbed by the empty mic stand. 

“She just went and snatched the microphone from him,” mother Amanda said. “My heart broke, to watch that.”

What’s most, Caleb played the Thanksgiving turkey and his line was “gobble gobble gobble.” 

People who have seen the heart-wrenching video were furious at the school and the teacher who said how Caleb already had his part during the show and additional “gobble, gobble, gobble” wasn’t in the script nor planned. 

Amanda felt really bad for her son and wonders whether it would killed them if they let Caleb say his line again. 

We believe the school and the staff should be more considerate, especially when it comes to students like Caleb who are more sensitive and need extra attention.
