Providing the little bundles of joy with the best possible life is every parent’s dream. But life is unfair sometimes and many moms and dads struggle to give their kids a fair chance of turning into successful individuals because of the many obstacles they face, mainly financial struggles.

A woman named Christina Fisher from Florida got pregnant at 36. However, no matter how much she loved the thought of being a mother, that seemed like something impossible at the time because she had no place to live and didn’t have a job. So, raising a child wasn’t an option at that tough period of her life.

As a result, she decided to give her baby up for adoption. The thought of separating from her little daughter broke her heart into a million pieces, but that looked like the best thing for the little girl that was about to be welcomed into the world.

What Cristina didn’t know was that sweet Abigail had a rare condition, because all the ultrasounds revealed the girl was developing normally into the womb. When the adoptive parents looked at the baby and her distinctive looks, they let go of the thought of adopting her.

Abigail was diagnosed with Treacher Collins syndrome which is a genetic disorder characterized by deformities of the ears, eyes, cheekbones, and chin. It can also cause problems with the respiratory system.

This condition didn’t make Abigail less beautiful than the rest of the babies at the maternity ward. For Christina, Abigail was the most charming baby she has ever seen.

But the adoptive family didn’t feel the same as Christina. They were very supportive and friendly while Christina was pregnant, but once Abigail was born, they disappeared from her life. “She came out crying… and left the hospital. We never heard from them again,” Christina said of the adoptive mother.

Christina didn’t really care, because she now knew she was supposed to raise her daughter on her own. No one would ever love her baby as much as she did, and she wanted to be there for her.

Photos of sweet Abigail stole the hearts of many after Christina posted them online, wanting to spread the message that everyone is beautiful in their own, unique way.

The little girl’s story spread around and people really wanted to help Christina give her baby a good start at life so they donated around $20,000 through her GoFundMe page.

It looks like the saying, ‘it takes a village to raise a child’ was true in the case of these mother and daughter who are about to embark the adventure called life together. Abigail’s condition was just a sign that she should spend her life by her mommy’s side.

Some say plastic surgery is something people get addicted to. Once they do a correction on their face or body, many believe there is always more to be done in order for them to look “perfect.” Sadly, undergoing such transformations can lead to completely losing the natural look. That is what happened to a woman the whole country heard of some ten years ago, 44-year-old Dawn Williams from Canada.

This woman’s distinctive looks, huge silicon breasts, fake ten, and blonde extensions made people turn heads whenever she would pass near them, and although she loved the attention she was getting, it was something that bothered her two children.

That made Dawn reconsider the way she looked. It wasn’t just her physical appearance, but her outfit that always seemed to reveal a lot as well. She was willing to change herself because she wanted her children to be proud of her, not embarrassed, so she accepted the help from makeover guru Carson Kressley.

The first thing Carson did was make Dawn get rid of the excessive make up that she would always apply in very thick layers. Next, her bleached extensions and her pink heels went off, and she got some new clothes.

Her transformation to a more natural looking woman made her children happy. Dawn now knows that she doesn’t have to resemble the Barbie Doll in order to feel good about herself. The new version of her was presented to her loved ones at the Oprah Winfrey show.

Needless to say, everyone, even her closest friends and family, couldn’t believe their eyes when they saw Dawn taking the stage. You can take a look at this busty housewife and mother in the video below. Don’t forget to share it with your friends and make sure you tell us what you think of her transformation.

Nowadays, when most of us stay home in fear of our health and safety because of the coronavirus, there are those people who have to be on the job every single day. Besides the medical workers, others also deserve all the praise for what they do every single day, like the delivery drivers who make sure our packages get at our front door no matter the severity of the situation with the pandemic.

Their commitment is truly important to many, especially those people who are way too fragile to get out and buy things for themselves. A family’s note for their delivery guy went viral recently. It read, “Thank you for delivering our packages to us. We have an immunocompromised baby and online deliveries are essential to her health. You are helping to keep our daughter ALIVE and well. We are grateful to all who are on the front lines delivering to our family. Much Thanks – The Bays’ Family.”

Another delivery guy vent viral for his incredible act just before America’s greatest holiday, the 4th of July. A woman named Chelsie Root Ashley from Adiar, Oklahoma shared a video that touched the hearts of many Americans. Namely, the US flag in her yard was tangled, and the delivery guy, Trent, made sure he took it down from the perch, untangled it, and put it back after he delivered the package.

“The hero of today is my UPS driver!!” she posted on Facebook on Friday. “My USA flag was rolled up so he stopped and fixed it before he left. Happy Memorial Weekend!!!!” Ashley wrote along with the video.

Trent had no idea someone was watching his act, but he did what he believed had to be done. He just wanted to do the honor to America’s greatest symbol that represents the core values all Americans tend to live by, freedom, democracy, the American dream, and our men and women in uniform.

Many praised Trent’s action and he said that he was glad he was caught on tape.

Woman Gives Server a Generous Tip Only to Learn Waitress Stole from Her Bank Account

When people don’t feel like preparing their own food, they usually head to the nearest restaurant where they can just eat what they want without spending time in the kitchen for hours. And while they are there and expect from the waiters or the waitresses to serve them hand and food, they should tip them accordingly.

But what happens when the servers feel they are not tipped enough and decide to take more money from the customer’s bank account without them being aware of that?

Source: Whitney Anderson

Whitney Anderson was having dinner at the Abuelo’s Mexican Restaurant with her family. Before they left the place, this mother of three paid the bill and tipped the waitress more than 20% of the total amount, but it seemed the server wasn’t satisfied so she simply took additional $10.

It wasn’t until the next day that Whitney noticed what happened, after she took a look at her bank history. She couldn’t believe how the waitress dared to steal from a customer, especially because she believed she left a reasonable tip for the meal.

“It was $45.50 and I tipped $10 even, made it $55.50,”

she addressed the matter on Facebook after the restaurant owner wasn’t willing to accept her complaints. He refused to even have a talk with the waitress, didn’t say they were sorry for the inconveniences, nor took it as a serious issue. He only told her how it would take around seven days for her money to be returned.

“Our server filled out the blank customer copy of the receipt and threw our merchant copy away!” Whitney posted. “She forged a signature that isn’t even my name and tipped herself $10 extra. All the manager is doing is working on getting my $10 back and could take up to a week. I’m so angry that a server did this and who knows how many times she’s done this and stole money from customers!”

As it happens, this waitress has done this to other customers as well, not only at this restaurant but at the other many places she worked at and had been sacked from because she was caught stealing.

Whitney wanted to warn others so she contacted the local news station and shared the whole experience with them. That is when the restaurant management gave Whitney a cash refund covering the entire bill the very next day and apologized.

Whitney was happy to be able to warn people to be more cautious when they pay their bills. She says it’s important to check your bank account any time you are charged for a service.

Unfortunately, these types of frauds happen more often than we think. We believe Whitney did the right thing for not letting the server get away with what she did.

92-year-old Lady Knocked on the Ground by a Man Who Saw Her Fall and Hit Her Head on the Fire Hydrant but Kept Walking

The elderly have done so much for the society over the years and the least we can do for them in return is to show them appreciation and make sure they feel loved and cared for. Sadly, some individuals have no respect for this group of people and treat them as an unimportant part of the society, forgetting how fragile they are.

On June 12, an incident that took place in Manhattan involving a 92-year-old lady left everyone outraged. As the woman, Geraldine, was on her way to Duane Reade, she was hit on the head by a random passerby later identified as 31-year-old Rashid Brimmage according to New York Post.

Geraldine then fell on the ground and hit her head on the fire hydrant. Her attacker turned his head and saw her lying on the floor but did nothing to help her. He simply kept walking which can be seen from the disturbing video.

“When they helped me up, I said ‘what happened’ because I didn’t even know what happened. It was completely out of the blue,” said Geraldine.

“I thought a brick hit me or something hit me on the left side of my head, and I went right down and hit my head against the hydrant,” she told New York Post. “Blood was coming out, not spurting blood, but blood was dripping.”

Luckily, other people who noticed her rushed to help her get on her feet. They called 911 and Geraldine was taken to the Beth Israel Hospital. She didn’t suffer any serious injuries on her head, but is having hard time understanding why would someone attack her for no reason. She now fears getting out of her house all by herself and the incident had some psychological impact on her.

“This damned guy put me in a state where I’m fearful to walk the streets alone. So my super’s trying to find somebody who will walk me to a park nearby or to the supermarket, that kind of thing. So that’s the problem,” she said.

Thanks to the video showing the attack, Rashid was arrested and charged with assault. This man showed aggressive behavior before and this arrest was his third this year. NBC New York reported how Rashid punched a 39-year-old man and a 39-year-old woman at Dunkin’ Donuts in February but only received desk appearance tickets.

In March, Rashid was reported to have punched a 29-year-old man at a Manhattan pizza shop. According to New York Post, this violent man has been arrested 103 times so far for different incidents. He has been also listed as a sex offender.

Assistant District Attorney Courtney Razner who is currently working on the case said, “He’s a violent predicate felon facing a minimum of five years in state prison for this case.” Rashid lives in a homeless shelter in Bronx and is schizophrenic and bipolar according to a social worker.

Attorney Henna Khan tried defending Rashid calling him “harmless.” She says what he did to Geraldine wasn’t a “deliberate act of violence.” However, Geraldine things otherwise and hopes he will spend some time behind bars and will have the time to think about what he did to her and all the other people he hurt in the past.

The social distancing imposed by the governments because of the pandemic seems to be getting us even further apart from one another, not only physically, but emotionally as well. In these dark times for the humanity when millions are affected by the virus, witnessing acts of kindness and good deeds make us believe that that things aren’t as bad as they seem.

The good thing about spreading kindness to people we love and care for, as well as to those we meet for the first time in our life, is that it always goes a long way. We can never know how our selfless deeds affect those who receive our kindness.

One proud aunt is sharing a story of how her nephew stepped in for an elderly lady in need and people are glad she did that because stories of compassion are exactly what we need more of to have our spirits lifted.

Connie Belle Jenkins Sweet of Griffin and her 17-year-old nephew, Senquavious Driver, were shopping at Dollar General when the teen noticed the 81-year-old lady struggling to get off the vehicle.

“We were about to pull off and leave when she was trying to get out of her car, but she was struggling to get on the sidewalk. She could barely walk. She was only going in for a soda, but she barely could even get in the store,” Connie said.

Senquavious not only helped her alight from the car but entered the store with her and helped her with her shopping as well. The lady was very grateful and shared with him a story of how she hurt her back and face recently.

“I was in tears taking pictures because he didn’t hesitate to help her, and that made my heart happy,” Connie said. Honestly, she has a lot to be proud of. Nowadays, not many young people would do what her nephew did.

Senquavious didn’t want to be praised for what he did, but his aunt said she just had to share the cute photos of him holding the lady’s hand and keeping her company while she was doing her errands. And we are glad she did, because she made the day of many and brought joy around.

“I’m so proud of him because I know and love the lady that raised him, my sissy,” Connie wrote and added “I have an awesome nephew. I pray to God he continues to do great things in his life.”

Women in the Army Are Sharing Harrowing Stories of Sexual Harassment Using #IAmVanessaGiullen

The missing of Private First-Class Vanessa Guillen started a movement by the women in the military who are sharing their stories of sexual harassment while on duty. They are using the hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen.

Guillen, 20, went missing on April 22. She was last seen at the Fort Hood Army Base in Killeen, Texas, after she told her family how she felt unsafe on the job because she was sexually harassed by a sergeant.

Volunteers who went searching for Guillen found remains and some of her belongings. They asked from the military to order an investigation regarding Guillen’s allegations, which the 3rd Cavalry Regiment commander did.

Women in the military know that they can’t be silenced any longer. They have to raise their voice and tell their story because of Guillen, themselves, and all the girls who ever dream of serving the country.

The testimonies come from current members as well as veterans and their words are chilling. The truth is being revealed and things have to change.

Army veteran Maira Carrier is just one of the numerous women who were sexually harassed. Upon Guillen’s story, she took to Facebook to share her own experience, writing, “I came in the Army when I was 17 years old. I was a victim of sexual assault and harassment as a child and I thought that the Army was my ticket out of that life, but instead I came into an even more painful world. Right before getting on the bus for basic training the airport reception NCO kept me back in the airport as the others went to the training center. He took me to a corner to avoid being seen, then proceeded to hit on me and grab the inside of my leg. I said I was 17 on multiple occasions,’ she recalls. “He gave me his personal cell phone number, the reception number to contact him, his emails (work and personal), and explained to me that he could help me have fun when I get to advanced individual training. I turned all his information to my DS, who said they were going to take care of it. Later in my career I looked up this individual and he had been promoted twice. It was as if my complaint made no impact in his career,” Carrier finishes her story.

The hashtag #IAmVanessaGuillen triggered the truth that has been put under the rug to finally come to light. These brave women feel like they owe it to Guillen and are standing for her because she can no longer fight for herself.

The sad reality is that many still feel scared and ashamed to confess the assaults. We hope things will change and no women will ever have to be assaulted and harassed in any way.

Two Best Friends of Different Races Start a Movement to Fight Hate That Has the Neighbors Talking

Benjamin Smith and Marcus Ellis, two best friends of different races, are the change they want to see in the world.

These young men portray an image that we want to see more often in the society and show that race should never be the reason why people feel distant, instead, the differences should only make them closer and more accepting of one another.

Smith, who is Caucasian, and Ellis, who is African American, have been friends for many years. But today, they want to show everyone how the death of George Floyd, a black man killed by a white police officer, that touched them deeply didn’t brought them apart, on the contrary, they became even closer and want to share the message that people can be only good and bad and never judged based on their race or appearance.

“I fought for a free America, a just America. And when I heard about the George Floyd incident, I just, it really really upset me. That’s not what I fought for,” Smith who is a former marine said.

Both Smith and Ellis support the movement Black Lives Matter, but are convinced the protests shouldn’t be nothing but peaceful, because that is the only way the message of everyone taking part in that movement to be spread.

In order to raise people’s awareness of the fact that violence is never an option, these two came with a great idea. They put some signs in front of Smith’s home saying, “Black or White” and “Relax and have a beer” and placed an extra chair for those who want to join them and share a drink with them.

Interestingly enough, many people who saw the friends chilling decided to stop and chat about the unrest that is happening in the country and what could be done for things to get better in the future.

The friends’ “movement” on their own reached the news and many agree how what they do to fight hate and racism is awesome.

Although they are perfectly aware things will take time to be put on the right path in America, they are glad they are serving as an example of how people who are “different” should come together.
