Crystal Jackson from Sacramento, California, 44, is a mom of three boys who are all very good kids and excel at school. Unfortunately, all her three children were expelled from school after the parents of the rest of the students complained about this mom’s side job.
Namely, in an attempt to spice up her relationship with her husband, Crystal joined Only Fans and ended up earning around $150,000 a month. She goes by the name Tiffany Poindexter on the site.

As it turns out, the Catholic school her kids attended decided to tell them they are no longer welcomed. This came as a shock to the kids who can’t understand why they can no longer study together with their friends.
“We are incredibly shocked, upset and unsettled. We received an email at 8pm Sunday night saying our kids were no longer welcome at the school and they should not return from Monday,” Chrystal said as per LadBible. “We thought, ‘What are we supposed to do now?'”

She explained to her kids that it wasn’t them the school didn’t like, and that it wasn’t their fault they were forbidden from attending it. Further, she said that it was her modeling that the school and the parents didn’t approve of.
According to LadBible, Crystal said: “They were very upset and cried over losing their friends. We were close to tears ourselves but you have to keep it together for them.”
“Our youngest didn’t understand why he couldn’t continue to go to school – we had to explain that we are all not allowed back, which was heartbreaking. Our children still have work in their desks and homework they needed to hand in – it’s just awful,” she added.
Crystal’s husband, Chris, also spoke of the situation the family have found themselves in and said it was unfair of the school to give them the news that their children were expelled late on Sunday evening. He believes they should have been given at least a week to prepare their kids of what was coming.
“The school’s decision has just ripped the kids up from their roots and given them no time to adjust. They could have told us to stay away, have someone else come to collect the kids from school until the end of the year and then we leave,” Chris said as per LadBible.

Further, Crystal added: “Do you punish kids for the sins of their parents? If a parent commits a crime does their child get kicked out of school? No, they don’t. We haven’t even committed a crime!
“It is so unfair to our children – our kids are really good kids, the teachers say they are. And we volunteer at least 100 hours at that school every year, a lot of the teachers really like us, we got on really well with them.
“It’s disturbing in the sense that we have always supported the school and gone above and beyond for them – we’ve gone from best friends to ‘blood enemies’.”
The greatest concern these parents have is that other Catholic schools may refuse to accept their kids for the same reasons their former school expelled them.

To all the medical workers out there: “Thank you for everything you do!”
I am sure that each and every one of you is feeling gratitude towards the nurses, the doctors, and the rest of the hospital staff who are working long shifts and barely take breaks from treating patients, especially during the recent period when the coronavirus is spreading like crazy and a huge number of people are in anticipation of receiving the so much wanted vaccine.
Well, doctors and nurses don’t have it easy, that’s for sure, but they still find the time to cheer their patients and the rest of us up. Just recently, a number of videos showing medical workers dancing in hopes of lifting our spirits up emerged and people love them.
Dr. Jason L. Campbell from Oregon is just one of them. His video went viral and has been seen by around 300,000 people so far.
Dr. Arup Senapati, who is a surgeon in Assam, has also posted a video of him dancing. In the caption of his “performance,” Dr. Senapati wrote how he learned all the moves from his favorite actor, Hrithik Roshan. Once the video spread like a wildfire, the actor retweeted it and wrote: “Tell Dr Arup I’m gonna learn his steps and dance as good as him someday in Assam. Terrific spirit.”
Tell Dr Arup I’m gonna learn his steps and dance as good as him someday in Assam . Terrific spirit . 🕺🏻 https://t.co/AdBCarfCYO
A number of other doctors and hospital staff joined this “challenge” of posting dancing videos in hopes of reminding us that things are going to be just fine. Among them are the medical workers from Jefferson Hospital in Philadelphia.
The staff at an NHS hospital in Birmingham, England, also went viral. Their TikTok video was a huge success and reached a huge number of people.
In another video, six cardiology nurses, also from Birmingham, danced to ‘Drank & Drugs’ by Lil Klenie and stole hundreds of hearts.
Jill San Juan, a nurse at Texas Medical Center, showed some awesome moves dancing on “All for You” by Janet Jackson. Along with the video, she wrote: “Keeping our spirits up at the hospital! Please RT/tag show @JanetJackson She’s getting us through rough times! I love you J! #janfam #JanetJackson.”
Janet Jackson has seen the video and wrote back: “I love you too and thank you for all that you are doing!”
We hope the pandemic will soon end and all those who are on the front line in the fight against it will finally take the break they deserve.
Christina Ozturk is a Russian model who is planning on having the largest family in the world. At the age of just 23, this beauty is a mom of 11 children. I know many would say this is too much, especially those who find it hard to cope with raising even a single kid, or maybe two or three. What is even more impressive is that Christina says she won’t stop until she and her wealthy, hotel-owning husband have maybe around 105 children together. Yes, you heard that right.

However, Christina only gave birth to one of her bundles of joy and had the rest through surrogate mothers. At the moment, she and her husband, Galip Ozturk, live in Batumi, Georgia where surrogacy is legal.
Speaking of his stunning wife, Galip says: “She is so easy to be with; she always has a smile on her lips and yet at the same time is shy and mysterious. She was the kind of wife I always wanted for myself, an uncut diamond where I saw what a pure and kind heart she had.”

According to Christina herself, having a lot of children is what makes her happy. She has always wanted a huge family and was over the moon when her husband told her that he wanted the same.
“At the moment, I have 10 children with the latest addition, Olivia, who arrived at the end of last month. I gave birth to my eldest daughter Vika myself, six years ago. The rest of the children are genetically ours from my husband and I, but were carried by surrogates,” the young mom says.
Christina is very popular on the social media where she posts a lot of photos of her little ones.
Although she mentioned the number 105 during an occasion, Christina now says: “I don’t know how many they will eventually be, but we certainly don’t plan to stop at 10. We just not ready to talk about the final number. Everything has its time.”
We wish this beautiful family only the best in the years to come. They all look so adorable together.
Stories about people who are more than willing to lend a helping hand to others, especially nowadays when humanity is struggling to cope with the pandemic, is what gives us hopes for a brighter future.
As the weather gone bad and parts of the country were hit by snow storms, many household were left without power and freezing. You probably remember the story of Texan Raymond Garcia who spent his days fixing people’s pipes. Well, this is yet another uplifting story that will warm your heart.
Andrew Mitchell from New Jersey is an experienced plumber. He knew that his services are much needed in the snow struck areas, and although it meant driving over 25 hours from his hometown to Texas, he was willing to do it. What’s most, he didn’t undertake his mission all by himself. His wife, Kisha Pinnock, and their 2-year-old son Blake made him company. The family loaded their truck with a bunch of tools and headed to Texas.
Andrew Mitchell, his wife Kisha Pinnock, their 2 year-old son, Blake and Andrew’s apprentice Isaiah Pinnock filled their truck with plumbing supplies and drove 22 hours from New Jersey to Texas to help people in need.
People from the affected areas wait for weeks before someone comes in and fixes their pipes. In the meantime, they lack running water, which makes normal functioning very hard.
Kisha’s brother, Isaiah Pinnock, who is Andrew’s apprentice, accompanied the family as well.

Kisha’s sister who lives in Houston made connections with people who were desperately looking for a plumber.
“By the time we got here there was already about four or five jobs lined up from my sister, and we just hit those first and then everything after that has really just been referrals from like the initial customers, like their friends and family,” Kisha said, as per CNN. “Since we’ve been here, it has really been nonstop.”
The family is planning on staying in Texas for at least two more weeks in hopes of helping even more people.

Although it’s the year of 2021 already and it looks like we’ve been doing our best to make things right, humanity still has a long way to go when it comes to eradicating bullying.
Sadly, being abused, called names, and not accepted because of different reasons, such as your looks or your points of view, is not that uncommon. Bullying can take place anywhere and it can affect people from all ages, but when young children who are helpless at defending themselves experience it, they can be affected for life.
Nicole O’Shea is a mother of a 9-year-old girl. This woman is trying really hard to help her daughter put up with the bullying she experiences on a daily basis, but it looks like no matter what she does, she fails each time.

Recently, she posted a touching letter at Love What Matters, and it touched the hearts of many. This is what she wrote:
“She’s 9. Nine years old and already learning what it feels like to have her heart broken by the unkindness of the world. She already knows what it feels like to have her peers comment on her body, her face, her clothes, her family.
She’s been called too stupid, too fat, too ugly, too poor, too loud, too huggy, too wild, too messy. She’s been uninvited because she’s not pretty enough, skinny enough, happy enough, funny enough, liked enough.
Those words don’t hurt me because I know they’re not true. I know she’s enough. What hurts me is how broken those words make her. What kills me is how she believes the naysayers of the world instead of her mama, the person who knows her best.
And that, my friends is why we HAVE to learn to love ourselves.
These babies are watching us. They’re learning how to love themselves by watching how we love our own selves. They CANNOT hear us when we tell them they’re enough because they’re too busy hearing us tell ourselves we’re not.
I vow to erase self-hate from my life. I promise to learn to appreciate who and what I am without exception. I will love me. Because me loving me is the only way I can teach her to love her.“

Nicole wants others to imagine how it would feel like if it were their kids in her daughter’s place.
“If this hit you in some kind of way, I know it’s because you’re picturing your own kids and the struggles they’ve seen. I am one mom of one daughter and our story is not unique. It’s the story of every mother and the daughters they’re raising.“
But we aren’t here to dwell in the heartache. We’re here to breed confidence and resiliency in the hearts of our babies. With that in mind, I want to hear from the mamas and the aunties and the grandmas and the teachers, and all the women who have little girls looking up to them …
I want you to picture that little woman you’re helping to shape and promise me right now you’re going to start loving yourself the way you want her to love herself.”

We truly hope that no other child or even an adult ever experiences what this 9-year-old has. We need to fight against bullying together, because no matter how harmless and fun it seems to those who practice it, it can destroy their victims’ self-confidence for life.
“Major Matt Davis, along with officers of the Lexington Police Department, were honored to celebrate the 100th birthday of Charles Siniard with family, friends, and staff at Carolina Gardens Senior Living at Lexington,” the video of the celebration of the milestone birthday of war veteran Charles Siniard said.
Siniard, who now spends his days at a nursing home, had no idea that he would be offered such an incredible tribute for his birthday.
HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY! 🎉 “He’s served his country, served his Lord.” Charles Siniard in Lexington just turned 100 years…
The officers from Lexington Police Department organized a parade and honked with their vehicle as they passed by Siniard’s place. He was sitting outside, feeling happy and excited he was honored that way.
His relatives describe Siniard as “a good man, served his country, served his lord, faithful, still doing it, everybody looks up to him, he’s just a good man,” as they speak to WITX.com news. The staff at the nursing home speak of him as “a breath of fresh air.”
Siniard did a lot for this country, and celebrating his 100th birthday is the least the community can do for him. After the war, he worked several jobs and retired as a trucking supervisor. He has been married for 70 years and has a son.

Besides a parade during which the officers were holding “Happy Birthday” signs, they also handed him a letter of commendation thanking him for his service.
Siniard said he appreciated everything and was happy he got such a surprise. His motto in life is “to always have a positive attitude, even at 100.”
Happy birthday, Mr. Siniard. We wish you only the best in the years to come and we are very glad that our veterans are given the gratitude they deserve.
Killing animals for fun has always been a widely controversial topic among the wide public. Many dub trophy hunters cruel killers and are strongly against this “game” of ending the life of many times rare and endangered creatures. The hunters, on the other hand, are convinced they are only helping the process of conservation and claim that they are in fact concerned for the wildlife.
Recently, well-known trophy hunter named Merelize Van Der Merwe triggered anger at animal lovers after she posed next to a dead giraffe and then added a photo holding the animal’s heart in her hands, writing it was the best Valentine’s present she could ever hope for.
Namely, Merelize and her husband booked a romantic trip to South Africa, but once she heard of the old giraffe, she paid around $2,100 to kill it, according to Metro.
“My husband booked a trip for us to the palace of the lost city situated in Sun City for our Valentine’s weekend, but our plans changed quickly,” Merelize bragged on Facebook. “My wonderful husband knew this was my dream and fully supported me from a romantic 5-star weekend away to roughing it again in the heat and bush. I was literally like a little child for 2 weeks and counted down the days.”
In a civilized and cultivated country wild animals only continue to exist at all when preserved by sportsmen. The…
Speaking to the Mirror, Merelize, whom many consider “sick” for what she is doing, said she will use the giraffe’s skin to make a rug. She also added: “I’d waited years for my own perfect bull – the older a bull gets the darker he gets. I love the skin and the fact it’s such an iconic animal for Africa.”
Convinced that she and those like her help the wildlife, she said she shows no respect for animal rights advocates and “calls them the mafia.”
“If hunting is banned, animals will become worthless and will disappear. Hunting has helped bring back a lot of species from the brink of extinction. The only people protecting these animals are trophy hunters,” Merelize said.
Dr. Mark Jones of the Born Free Foundation, on the other hand, argues against Merelize’s justification for her killings. “Trophy hunters’ claims they are concerned about wildlife conservation are highly misleading. Trophy hunting is not a conservation tool, nor does it contribute significant funds to local communities,” he says.
Most of the comments under this trophy hunter’s photos are like this one: “You are one sick individual nobody should get a thrill from ending a life. You should also respect this magnificent animal after its death , karma has a wonderful way of catching up with people when they least expect it.” Of course, there are also those, although only few, who support what Merelize is doing.
