Randi Jo and John Amt from Indiana were forced to stay at a hotel for quite some time together with their three kids because their house got flooded. 

Speaking to WTHR, John said of the situation they found themselves in: “Living in a hotel can be fun for a little while, but being in a hotel for a long time gets to be a little difficult.”

And, as every mom and dad of little kids, the Amts were hoping to find some peace and quiet at the hotel. However, there was a group of young students there who were having fun and were a bit more loud than they should have. That meant the Amts’ kids couldn’t sleep and were woken up by the noise and the loud giggling that wouldn’t stop.

The students were all members of FFA, Future Farmers of America, who came from Kansas to Indiana for the organization’s annual meeting during which they elect new national officers, engage in breakout sessions and accomplish quite a lot while in town.

Randi Jo planned on speaking with the youngsters, and was thinking that the right thing to do would be to explain to them why her family was staying at a hotel and how they were going through a stressful situation, so they really needed to get some sleep together with their little ones. This mom wanted the students to feel compassion and she definitely didn’t want to get into an argument with them. Randi Jo carefully thought of what she should say because she didn’t want the students to think of her as the angry lady next door.

A few days after they arrived at the hotel, Randi Jo noticed the students’ room doors were cracked open so she went to have a little chat with them. 

“I told them that we wanted them to have their fun and we would appreciate their respect to let our kids get a good night’s rest. The young man who answered the door told me that he was very sorry about what we were going through.”

Shortly after, Randi Jo noticed someone slipping a note under her door. The students wrote an apology along with $40 for the family.

The note said: “We are more than sorry for waking you and your family up the past few nights. We hope everything goes well with your house.”

Randi Jo explained: “I opened the note to find money. In a world where some people sit behind screens and become angry on social media, this young man restored my faith that the next generation can make eye contact and show compassion to the person right in front of him … They set an excellent example for my children and their parents should be more than proud.”

How incredibly thoughtful of the FFA students.  They inspired the Amts to pay it forward and help someone homeless. 

Police officer of 50 years dies on the day of his retirement after finishing his last shift

They say that If you do what you love, you’ll never work a day in your life. However, not many people are given the privilege to find a job that fulfills them completely and makes them happy. Hamblen County Deputy Stan Shaw was lucky to be doing what he loved the most.

Taking care of the members of the community and making sure they are safe and sound was this man’s top priority. He served his country and his people for 50 years. Sadly, on the day Deputy Shaw was about to have his last ever shift, he died of a heart attack.

After finishing the shift and saying goodbye to everyone at the department, Deputy Shaw headed home, but unfortunately, he never made it there, but was found unresponsive inside his vehicle.

The GoFundMe page set up by by Michael Quinton to help the late Deputy’s family read: “EMTs were able to get his heart going as he was transported to the hospital. It was determine he had a heart attack. Unfortunately he was without oxygen for too long, and was placed on life support. After many scans and second opinions it was determined he had no brain function. His wife of 38 years had to make the toughest decision.”

Deputy Shaw wanted to retire some 10 years ago, but after only a month spent at home, away from the department, he changed his mind because he knew the community needed him.

Speaking to Fox 19, his daughter, Rhea Shaw Grebenik, said of her father: “He believed in second chances. So, if he arrested you, or come in contact with you, or you had been arrested, he was one of the officers who would sit down with you and council you.”

Rhea also added how her dad had a lot of plans for the future. He envisioned his golden days enjoying with his wife and dog, going fishing with his daughter and her husband, and doing woodwork with his grandchildren. Sadly, he was never given that chance.

“He served his community up until his dying day and I’m proud of him for that,” Rhea said.

Rest in peace, Deputy Shaw, and thank you for your service and your commitment.

Sales representative dies of heart attack during working hours, store’s employees cover his body with umbrellas in an effort not to close the place

What many considered a despicable act of inhumanity happened in the Brazilian market Carrefour on August 14 of 2020 after a man who worked as a sales representative for a food brand inside the store suffered a heart-attack and his body was surrounded with boxes and covered with umbrellas.

While the body was lying on the floor, the market didn’t close and customers were casually shopping as they had no idea what was going on.

Later, a photo of the body was shared online and people were left completely outraged at the horrific way of how the employees and the managers managed the situation and disrespected the deceased.

“This is the body of a deceased worker in the middle of the Carrefour supermarket. He died while working and was covered with umbrellas. Witnesses say the supermarket functioned normally,” the caption shared along the photo read.

Brazilian news outlet G1 also shared the story of the unfortunate passing of 51-year-old Moisés Santos and contacted the store’s manager who admitted that they handled the situation inappropriately.

Before the staff from the funeral home arrived, at least three hours had passed.

Carefour issued a statement offering an apology but insisted they were advised not to move the body. However they are completely aware that their error is in “not closing the store immediately after what happened to await the funeral service, as well as in not finding the correct way to look after the body.”

“We apologize to the family and stand ready to support them in whatever way necessary,” Carrefour said, as reported by Reuters.

Meet Mr. Jennings, an 86-year-old man who has lived a life of giving and making others happy. Honestly, we don’t see many people like him nowadays, so it’s safe to say that he’s one of the most generous and most dedicated individuals we have ever heard of.

Now, if you wonder what makes this man so special let us share his story with you. Over the course of 32 years, Mr. Jennings, who has suffered two mini strokes recently, has recycled cans, paper, pennies, and other recyclables worth $400,000 that he has donated to the Georgia Baptist Home for Children.

An ordinary day of this extraordinary man’s life consists of driving around town and collecting paper and other materials from the local stores and churches which he then brings to the Chattanooga Recycle Center on Central Avenue. As a lot of people know what he is doing, many leave recyclables in front of his home as well.

He says he won’t stop doing what he’s doing until the “undertaker turns his toes up!”

Mr. Jennings lives by the words “The meaning of life is to find your gift. The purpose of life is to give it away,” by great Pablo Picasso.

What an incredible man. We wish him health and only the best in the years to come so that he can help even more children. Way to go, Mr. Jennings, you are one of a kind!

Parents bury 2-year-old child in the sand up to her neck under hot sun, while they fool around in the water

Not everyone deserves to be called a parent. While many moms and dads put their children’s needs on the top of the list of their priorities and make sure their little ones are well taken care of and protected, sadly, there are also those who are not really concerned for the well-being of their offspring.

A very sad incident took place recently at the Atlantic Ocean resort of Santa Clara in Buenos Aires, Argentina, showing exactly what we are speaking of.

A lot of passersby were shocked by the sight of a little girl buried in the sand with her head out and under the scorching sun. There was no adult around and it looked like the poor child had been in that position for quite some time. She was extremely hot but unable to move and cover her head. During that time, her parents were having sex in the water.

People gathered around and decided to alert the police of what looked like obvious child neglect.

It took the police quite some time to arrive at the scene and arrest the parents who put their daughter in danger. Speaking to the Argentinian newspaper called Clarin, as quoted by Daily Star, and eye-witness said that the girl was “hungry and sunburnt,” adding: “It was about 95 degrees Fahrenheit so imagine what that poor little girl was like.”

After the arrest, which both the parents resisted, it was discovered that the mother had drugs in her purse. According to the police, she possessed cannabis, ecstasy, and sedative Rivotril.

The two-year-old girl was taken away from the irresponsible parents and placed in temporary care.

Some people are simply born to do good for others and help this world become a better place. Four boys from Detroit proved that societies sometimes misjudge young people when they dub them careless.

Brothers Kenny, Kenneth, and Kevin Dancy, together with their friend Andrew Daniels were helping an elderly neighbor with her stuff when she was moving places when they came across a heartbreaking sight.

A severely starved dog was tied at the back of one of the houses. The boys knew the poor animal was in a very bad shape and didn’t want to live her there. Soon, the quick-thinking boys untied the dog from the bungee cords, wrapped her in a jacket, and took her home.

They named the dog Sparkles and were determined to help her turn into a healthy dog again. They gave her food and water and made sure she was comfortable. As they were walking Sparkles around the neighborhood the following day, they came across members of the Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue and told them the whole story. This encounter was pure luck.

The rescuers took Sparkles and rushed her to the vet’s. Besides being starved, she also had mange and it was obvious she had been severely neglected.

Later, the shelter staff shared Sparkles’ story on their Facebook page and thanked the young heroes for their good deed. “You could tell they really love this dog,” said Theresa Sumpter, the organization’s founder, speaking to WDIV.

“They were protective of the dog and wanted to make sure the dog was going to a good place.”

The vet determined Sparkles didn’t really have mange as the rescuers thought, but it looked like that because she was very thin. Luckily, that meant she could be put up for adoption sooner than they expected.

Soon after, Pet Tales Rescue, a rescue organization close to Detroit Pit Crew Dog Rescue found the perfect foster mommy for Sparkle.

As for the boys who saved her, they didn’t stop there. After Sparkles’ rescue, they saved two other dogs from the streets.

These boys did an amazing job. They are true heroes we should all learn from.
