This prodigy who stole the hearts of millions of people who have seen some of her many performances is a student at the famous academy of the former Russian skating superstar Evgeni Plushenko. The Instagram account @talented_skaters as well as some Russian outlets, including Championat, wrote of this talented young skater that her wish is to be part of the Olympics one day.

At the age of 11, Veronica successfully performed the enormously difficult jump, the quadruple Salchow, after which a quadruple toe loop and a triple Axel followed, and placed herself on the list of the most technically gifted skaters of her generation and beyond.

Back in 2019, a video of her emerged on YouTube and many went crazy. She appears to be competing with other children her age, and what she has to show is mesmerizing and spectacular.

Veronica takes the ice stage looking confident. No stage fright at all from what we can see, which is surprising from someone her age watched by many. She skates on the famous hit by Leonard Cohen, Hallelujah, but this time, it’s the version of singer Alexandra Berk who recorded the song after performing it on the 2008 season of X-Factor.

Parents surprise daughter by getting her the dog she cared for while volunteering at a shelter

What would the best Christmas gift for an animal lover be? The answer is pretty much obvious. A pet adopted form a shelter. That way, these special people are getting their furry best friend, and an animal gets a new home. This sounds like the perfect plan, doesn’t it? Well, that’s exactly what these Seiling, Oklahoma, parents did for their daughter.

She always wanted a dog, but somehow, it was never the right time according to her mom and dad. But she was so eager to be around dogs that she started volunteering at the local shelter, and that’s where she fell in love with one special pooch named Rambo.

LANCE FUQUA / FACEBOOK
Hallee Fuqua’s response to seeing the dog unleashed a rollercoaster of emotions.

Rambo was a Plott Hound and Mountain mix who stole Hallee’s heart the moment she laid eyes on him. She really wanted to take him home, and had no idea that her wish will be granted just before Christmas.

“She would come in and just sit with him,” Jackie Ross-Guerrero, the shelter’s director, told ABC News. “They connected from day one.”

Lance and his wife visited the shelter and adopted the dog without telling their daughter. They even asked the rest of the staff to keep the adoption a secret.

The next day, Hallee went to work only to realize ‘her dog’ was given to a forever family. Although she was glad for his well-being, she was also a bit sad because she wanted it to be part of her family.

Now, just a week before Christmas, Hallee’s parents placed Rambo at the doorstep and waited to see their daughter’s reaction, which was luckily caught on tape.

 “This isn’t a joke?” Hallee Fuqua says through tears of happiness at the end of the Facebook video.

This will be the best Christmas ever, with the family welcoming another member that will make their days more enjoyable.

Good personal hygiene is crucial for keeping our body, head, and hands clean and healthy. At the same time, it also affects those around us and the people we randomly meet every single day. Of course, no one wants to go around smelling badly, but yet, there are people who fail to keep themselves clean. That has an impact on their social life, for sure, because everyone tends to avoid those who don’t bath and spread unbearable odor.

Unfortunately for the man from the video below named Mr. Cimarello, but luckily for us because it made us burst out laughing, he stumbled upon a woman at the store whose odor was the worst ever.

YouTube

He was so frustrated by the encounter, that he started complaining to his wife about the smelly woman he met. However, speaking of it wasn’t easy as his gag reflex was triggered every time he tried to explain what he had to go through. His wife couldn’t stop laughing, and according to her, she was still in stitches a couple of hours after she stopped filming her “disturbed” husband.

The video has been seen over 8.2 million times, with thousands commenting how it is the most hilarious clip there is. Check it out below and tell us if you had a great laugh yourself.

Isn’t it incredible how little children can be more considerate and more thoughtful than the adults at times? Although they have their whole life ahead of them, some kids learn the true values on life from very early age. Of course, most times, it is their parents who teach them right from wrong and guide them towards growing into good humans.

When the video of sweet Makhi Martin was posted online in January 2020, his mom had no idea it would turn her little boy in one of the most loved individuals in America.

Although he was just three years old, he managed to steal the hearts of millions by leading his class in prayer before lunch at the Transformation Christian School in St. Louis. Makhi starts the prayer with the words “Father God,” and the whole class repeats after him. He then continuous saying, “We thank you for this food. We ask you to bless it. Make it nourishment to our bodies.”

He ends his prayer by asking God to “bless all the boys and girls all over the world to receive food.”

His mother, Ranisha Martin, posted the video on Instagram and it was later shared on YouTube where it has been seen over 6.7 million times.

Ranisha never heard Makhi say a prayer that clearly. She was surprised herself and said she’s proud of her boy. She also added how they received a lot of positive comments from people from all over the country and beyond.

Take a look at the video below.

3-year-old girl named Ronin Waldroup suffered horrible injuries on her face and experienced emotional trauma after she was attacked by a dog wearing a service vest in a restaurant in Old Town Spring, Texas.

The girl entered the place with her parents’ friend, Kimberly Parker, while her mom and dad were folding the stroller outside. Everything happened very quickly, and according to Kimberly, once she and Ronin stood in line, the girl came face to face with the Pit Bull which attacked her out of the blue.

“It had a hold of her face and shook her,” she told ABC News. “The lady pulled on the leash, the dog released her and she just dropped like a rag doll.”

After the incident, the woman ran out of the restaurant, but Ronin’s dad, James Waldroup, started chasing her and reached her. However, the woman never said she was sorry or apologized for what her dog did. On the contrary, she started yelling how everything was the girl’s fault, which according to witnesses wasn’t true.

Sweet Ronin ended up with 15 stitches on her face, according to a GoFundMe page set up to help the family with the hospital expenses.

According to the doctors, the scars will not be extremely bad, but they advised the Waldroups to consult a plastic surgeon.

“It’s enough that she’s going to have the mental trauma,” Ronin’s mom Cleveratta told ABC News. “I don’t want her to look in the mirror and have that be a constant reminder of what happened.”

The woman with the dog was identified and the Harris County Sheriff’s Office reported how they scheduled a meeting with her regarding the incident in which her service dog was involved.

Ronin’s parents are asking for the dog owner to be held accountable. “For them to not show any compassion or any remorse to even stop and ask if my baby was OK, it goes beyond words,” Cleveratta said.

We wish Ronin forget this horrific incident over time and we hope she recovers as soon as possible.

Raising your kids the right way by teaching them to honor the true values in life is what a great parenting is all about. Claire’s parents have to be the proudest mommy and daddy because their daughter is a real angel with a heart of gold.

Unfortunately, they are both deaf, but that didn’t stop this cutie and her little sister to communicate with them. Ever since Claire was very young, she learned the American sign language. 

What she did for her parents is sweet beyond words, and it will certainly make tears of joy roll down your face. 

The school Claire attends was getting everything set for the annual Christmas show, and all the kids prepared a song to perform in front of the audience consisting mainly of family members. Claire knew mom and dad will be among the crowd and she just felt it would be pity for them not to understand what their little girl was singing. After giving it some thought, she decided to translate the lyrics into sign language. When the kids got on the stage and started singing, Claire sang with her hands. Her parents had no idea she was about to do that and they couldn’t contain their excitement and simply couldn’t believe the amazing gesture. It was the best Christmas present they could think of. 

Claire’s action made her a hero in the eyes of mom and dad, and we agree that she is the daughter anyone would ask for. You go girl!

Please share this lovely and heartwarming story with your loved ones.

The story of this heartbroken mother whose beautiful and intelligent son took his own life because he couldn’t put up with being bullied any longer will get you down to tears. No parent should ever experience the pain of losing a child, and the family of Daniel went through such pain because of some kids who wouldn’t leave him alone and made his life miserable.

Amy Briggs speaks openly of what preceded her son’s tragic death. She describes Daniel as a very special young man who showed interest in many different fields. He was always helpful and wanted to have friends, but because of one reason or another, he became a target of the bullies at his school. They did many horrific things to him. Many times, he was jumped in buses and called names. But the bulling continued even when he would go home. The cruel kids sent him a bunch of text messages with insults.

One day, he told his classmates he was going to kill himself because he couldn’t possibly live the live he had. Sadly, that did happen.

Friends of his dad tried to warn them of what their son said while at school, but the parents missed the call. They then got another call from another friend. Amy asked from their neighbor to check on Daniel while they were headed home, but it was already too late.

This family’s life changed forever. They no longer have their beautiful son around. Amy wants everyone to know of the damaging consequences of bullying and urges parents to talk to their kids and teach them right from wrong.

We are very sorry for your loss. Daniel, rest in peace.

Single dad takes hair-styling lessons so he could do his daughter’s hair – Inspires millions

Oh, that father-daughter bond! Is there anything stronger and cuter than that?

Meet Greg Wickherst, a proud dad of a young lady named Izzy. When Greg and his wife separated, his daughter got to spend more time with him than with her mom, and this amazing father loves every second that he gets to have with Izzy.

A year after the split, Izzy’s hair grew long and Greg had a hard time coping with the styling. Of course, he had no idea how to even tie it in a ponytail, but that was about to change all thanks to his devotion and caring nature.

Izzy and I are about to watch The Nutcracker! We actually have front row center seats, we are so excited!!!

Posted by Greg Wickherst on Thursday, 17 November 2016

Namely, Greg, who works at a local college, asked one of his colleagues from the cosmetology department to give him some advice about Izzy’s hair. She introduced him to the best student in her class who was more than willing to step in and show Greg some tips and tricks.

In a matter of weeks, this man turned into an expert. He practiced both on a mannequin’s head and Izzy’s hair.

“In no time, I was able to do a simple braid, then a fishbone braid, and a French braid,” he told the Huffington Post. “I even learned how to do a ponytail, then flip it through itself either under or ever. I call that an inverted ponytail.”

So since Izzy will be wearing uniforms to school, today I let her wear the clothes she was going to wear on her first…

His creations were unique and he decided to post them on the social media in order to inspire and help other dads out there. Little did he know that the hairstyles he came up with every single day would go viral. This led to a YouTube channel, Hair Dad, and even a contest a Daddy/Daughter Hairdo Contest where other dads post photos of their girls stylized hair.

Posted by Greg Wickherst on Saturday, 23 June 2018

Through his channel, Greg met another dad who enjoys doing his daughter’s hair, Philippe Morgese from Daytona Beach, Florida, who started the Daddy Daughter Hair Factory – an organization that hosts classes for dads to learn the basics of hair care and styling. There, dads learn brushing, detangling, three-strand braids, a standard bun, you name it.

What’s most important of all is that Izzy and the rest of the girls love having their dads doing their hair and being creative. Cute beyond words, I’d say.

You can take a look at this dad-daughter duo’s story below.
