Teachers don’t get paid a lot of money and even struggle to make ends meet at times, and many of them only continue teaching because of the joy of seeing their kids succeed and become good people. Every smile, every thank you, and every learning obstacle surmounted is sometimes a proof that the best things in life are free.

A teacher that goes by the name Rachel Uretsky-Pratt from a Washington State elementary school is sharing a heartwarming story which took place somewhere around Christmas.

As she explained in her Facebook post, most of the students at the school are coming from families which don’t have large incomes and 100% of them are on free/reduced lunch. So, when she gives them tiny, usually hand-made gifts for Christmas, she doesn’t expect anything in return.

One of her students, who wanted to give her teacher a present badly but had no money to afford anything, came up with a lovely idea and melted Rachel’s heart. As we all know, the Marshmallows in Lucky Charms are favorite to every child, and this girl decided to keep all of them for her teacher as a Christmas gift.

“Rather than give me nothing, this student opened up her free breakfast cereal this morning, took the packaging of her spork, straw, and napkin, and finally took the time to take every marshmallow out of her cereal to put in a bag—for me,” Rachel wrote.

The carefully picked and wrapped Marshmallows meant the world to this teacher. It was all the girl had and she decided to give it to Rachel, and she knew that gestures like these are worth all the effort put inside the classroom.

“Be grateful for what you have, and what others give you. It all truly comes from the deepest parts of their hearts,” Rachel concluded.

Their busy schedules and everything that comes with raising their daughters found its way to the screens of millions of Americans, as well as people from other parts of the world.

The reality series OutDaughtered, by the TLC Network, featuring this family’s life was first released back in 2016, with its seventh season premiering in June 2020 and still going on.

The description of the show says: “How many people does it take to prepare 40 baby bottles a day, change 420 diapers a week, and administer feedings every three hours? Two, as in Danielle and Adam Busby.”

If this story doesn’t make your day and melt your heart, I don’t know what will.

The sweet little girl from the video below that went viral in a blink of an eye is a huge dog lover. In fact, she spends a great time watching dog shows and being around these incredibly friendly, loving, and loyal creatures. She doesn’t only enjoy their presence, but they help with her autism as well.

In fact, according to a number of research, dogs do help those children with autism by reducing their meltdowns and affecting their self-confidence in a positive way.

One day, her parents told her how they were actually taking her to the local dog show. Needless to say, the girl was over the moon. She put on her best dress, put a leash on her stuffed toy dog, and was ready for an experience of a lifetime.

Once there, one of the judges noticed her and approached closer. He asked her about her dog and told her that she keeps great care of it. In the next moment, this kind man told the girl that she can take the floor and walk her toy dog around. She was so excited that she didn’t need to hear that twice before she put on a show.

The audience realized what was going on and gave her huge applause.

After her dog’s “show,” the girl went to the judge again and he gave her a hug. Luckily, someone watching all this put the whole thing on tape and later shared it on YouTube.

People praise the judge and say that he’s the perfect example that not a lot is needed for one to be kind and changes someone’s day or even life. “This sensitivity and attitude are necessary for love!” someone wrote, and we can’t agree more.

A story of kindness: Neighbor offers ride for a boy forced to walk to and from school for 90 minutes each day

Gabe is a second grader who is forced to walk to school every single day. He and his mom live in Nebraska and according to a law imposed by this state, those students living not far from the school are not allowed to take the school bus.

Since Gabe’s mother, Kim, who is raising her son all by herself and is a part-time student can’t afford to buy a car, she and her boy spend 45 minutes walking to school, and additional 45 minutes getting back home. In fact, Kim walks this route twice, once in the morning, and then in the afternoon when Gabe’s lessons finish. This mom spends roughly three or more hours walking, and not only her, but her boy is tired all the time too.

With the tough winter around the corner, Kim knew she had to do something.

Unable to help her son by herself, she decided to share her story with a local news station and ask from the members of the community to lend them a helping hand.

Once the story spread around, an angel in the form of another mother stepped in. Becky Novotny’s son studies in the same school and the same class as Gabe, so it meant she could drive both the boys to and from school.

“I’m a stay-at-home mom. I’ve got three kids of my own that if I was in the situation, I think I’d want somebody there to help me.” Becky said.

Kim is grateful Becky is now taking care of her son’s problem with transportation. It means the world to her and Gabe. “I had nowhere else to turn. Like I said, I tried with the schools, I tried with administration, I tried particularly with the school itself and nothing was happening so I greatly appreciate your guys’ help,” she says.

Some awesome news came from Indiana this week. Parents to be, Shaniqua Traywick and Carl Robertson, were headed to the hospital as Shaniqua was about to give birth to their first child. However, her contractions were getting more and more severe with each passing minute and they both realized that the baby couldn’t wait until they get to the hospital so Carl pulled the car over.

Indiana State Trooper Thomas Maymi was on duty on the Indiana Toll Road and noticed the car stopping on the side of the road. He then noticed this man running towards him and telling him that he’s wife is in labor. Trooper Thomas called an ambulance and headed towards Shaniqua. While they were waiting for the LaPorte County EMS to arrive, Thomas offered his help and stayed by the future parents’ side.

“Two minutes after paramedics were on scene, the baby was delivered. Upon delivery, mom and baby were transported to LaPorte Hospital,” the Indiana State Police said in a statement.

Luckily, everything went perfectly fine and the sweet baby boy was born healthy. To honor the kind trooper who was there when they needed it the most, they named their bundle of joy Malaki Thomas Robertson. Of course, he was happy to hear that. The proud mom said of that special day, “We were all troopers that day!”

City in Germany installs futuristic pods for homeless people to sleep in

When temperatures drop below the zero, I can’t help but think of all the homeless people out there, who are freezing and struggling to find a place to spend the night. Sadly, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the strict measures along with the health guidelines imposed by the governments, many shelters stopped working and homeless people faced closed doors. This made this category of citizens double victims of the pandemic.

But one city in Germany seems to have the solution. Namely, authorities at the city of Ulm are installing sleeping pods all around the place so that the homeless have a bed to sleep in. These pods are made out of wood and steel and are insulated and waterproof. At the same time, they include solar panels and communication services.

Heute wurden die beiden Ulmer Nester wieder aufgestellt – coronabedingt leider mit Verzögerung, aber gerade noch…

One doesn’t need to check in anywhere in order to use them. The moment someone enters inside them, a local non profit gets an alert and representatives pay that person a visit in order to offer additional help as well as to clean the pod the following morning.

“With the Ulm Nests, we hope to offer a little bit of protection and security to those who most depend on it in Ulm,” the Facebook page dedicated to these futuristic homeless shelters wrote.

These unique pods have also found their way out of Germany, as per KTVZ.com, around 100 of them were also installed in Portland, Oregon, in December of 2020.

“They provide safety, protection from the elements, and a good place to be on a short-term basis, but they’re not intended to replace a permanent housing situation,” the director of the city’s homeless services Marc Jolin said.

Two year old has the perfect response for cashier who questioned black doll

Little children are the most pure minded humans. They are born to love everyone, but as time passes by, they are taught certain things, among which, sadly, racism. Those parents who don’t let their little ones judge anyone or form an opinion about someone based on their skin color are the ones creating a future of love and a world we all want to be part of.

However, there will always be those people who distinguish between black and white humans, and that is something we should all fight against because we are all equal and we have always been.

Little Sophia, who was two at the time her story went viral, had successfully completed her potty training and her mother told her she could get any toy she wants from Target. Sophia was over the moon and quickly headed to the toy section, picking a doctor doll.

But, as she and her mom, Brandi Benner, headed to the counter, the employee at the register was quick to notice that the doll Sophia had in her arms was black. She assumed they were buying it as a gift, and when Brandi said it was for her daughter, the woman asked why Sophia didn’t choose a doll that resembled her more, alluding to the doll’s skin color.

As smart and as quick-thing as she is, Sophia replied: “She looks just like me. We both are doctors. I’m a pretty girl, and she’s a pretty girl. See her lovely hair?”

Needless to say, Brandi was very proud of her girl. She knew at that moment that she is raising Sophia right.

We really hope the employee realized she was showing racist behavior. As for Sophia, she did a great job teaching that woman a lesson to remember. Check out the whole story in the video below.

Little kids are curious by nature. They are still discovering the world around them and don’t want to miss on anything. That is why many toddlers refuse to go to sleep at a proper time and give their mommies and daddies a hard time.

Well, they are completely right, because you know what they say, you can’t make memories sleeping, and kids seem to know this all too well.

A recent video of one of the most hilarious babies we’ve ever seen, baby Leo, captured the hearts of many. Well, it also brought up some questions about his safety and his parents faced criticism, but still, most of the people who have seen Leo doing his best not to fall asleep when he could barely keep his eyes open agree he’s the cutest ever.

The family is in the car and Leo is so sleepy that his tiny head falls down each time he closes his eyes. But that only lasts for a second because he opens his eyes widely and gives his parents a huge smile, and that goes on and on.

Leo’s brother Rion also has a viral video. According to their mom Lisa Jones, when she opened her YouTube channel back in 2006, she never thought her two boys would become an internet sensation.

This time, some people commented how they were worried for Leo’s safety as it seemed like he wasn’t properly secured in his car seat.

Lisa wrote back explaining: “NB: For anyone concerned about the positioning of the carseat and the untightened straps: Here in UK, car seats are permitted in the front seat as long as there are no airbags fitted or at least deactivated. This was our old car – Hyundai Accent. There were no airbags fitted on the passenger side. Before I started the engine, Leo’s straps were tightened securely and we made our journey in safety.”

The video of Leo fighting sleep is beyond adorable. Check it out below.
