Getting up each morning, most of us think that the day is going to go just as planned, usually if we have a plan that is. Work, maybe for some of us, school, routine jobs, and other things. Now and again though something happens that we were not expecting and an ordinary day will become life changing. One day when A son and his mother were going through the drive through at a fast food place, they hoped to have a delicious lunch, but instead and to their amazement, they left the restaurant with a lot more! Landon and his mother Tara Routzong were in the drive through and saw something that drew their attention to the licence plate in front of them. As they patiently waited in the line at the ‘Chik-fil-A’ Tara and her son noticed something on the licence plate directly in front of them, something which drove them straight to take action! The licence plate displayed the word ‘Florida’, but what was the reason that it was so interesting, after all we pass many licence plates every day, but Tara and Landon were feeling very downtrodden when they had the realization where the guy came from!

The sad news about the Hurricane Irma on television has touched us all, such a destructive storm as it passed through the Caribbean and finally landed on Florida, tearing up homes, lives and while communities too. So when Son and mother noticed the Florida plates right in front of them, they decided almost immediately and together to do a good deed. Tara said on Facebook:

“Went to Chick Fil A for lunch today because yum. Landon saw the car in front of us was from Florida (we have been talking about Irma today) and he declared we were paying for their meal and I agreed.”

Then she said:

“But how do you pay for the car in front of you?? You run toward their window with a debit card in hand and scare the mess out of them lol”

The Florida guy felt very deeply moved by this gesture, so unexpected and beautiful was this act of kindness! The Floridian guy in the ‘Chick-fil-A’ drive-thru was actually fleeing the path of this crazy and terrifying hurricane…

“Landon and I both had tears in our eyes from how appreciative he was.”

Tara said, in her Facebook post:

“The man has left his home in Miami and was passing through to go stay with family in Birmingham. I told him we hoped he returned to his house untouched and that we’d keep him in our thoughts.”

The awesome kindness of his mother and son wasn’t expensive, but the gesture really made a difference! The tragic events of the hurricane has really brought out the best in most of us, as humans, looking after other humans. People from all over the world and many different states are joining together to donate their time, help, personal things and belongings, and hard earned cash to help rebuild the lives of those suffering because of the hurricane. Tara said:

“I often feel like I’m failing because I can’t do it all, all the time and then things like this happen and remind me that I don’t have to. My most important job is going just fine.”

Something Feels Wrong When She Gives the Homeless Woman Her Leftover Food…

Carmen Mendez and her boyfriend were on their way to get some fried chicken when they spotted a homeless woman near the entry, the woman was quite dirty but sober, she was standing quietly close to the trash asking people for their leftovers. As everyone put their trash into the bin, they looked at her but just carried on throwing their food in the trash!
Instagram
Mendez said on Instagram:

“Not one person said yes, they all ignored her and threw it away, it broke my heart” … “I have been volunteering with the homeless now for many years… they don’t repulse me or make me sick to my stomach. I hold them all with so much love.”

Carmen, who felt heartbroken by what was going on decided to give the homeless woman her leftovers if she was still there when she finished, but 20 minutes later she had gone! She said:

“I looked for her as we were getting ready to leave and couldn’t find her” … “I felt sad knowing all the rejection she had that night searching for a warm meal.”

Instagram
Sadly, Carmen was about to throw her food away when she heard a small voice say:

“Can I have your food?”

Without a moment of hesitation, Carmen gave her food to the woman with a big smile, but it just didn’t feel like it was enough. Mendez said:

“I felt like a horrible human being feeding her my leftover chicken strip… she deserved so much more… so I bought her a whole meal… she deserved to eat a hot meal”

Carmen boldly went to the restaurant counter to get the woman a full hot meal, and politely asked the restaurant to let her stay to eat it! The woman was clearly in tears and appreciative of what was happening here.
Instagram
Mendez then said:

“That hug she gave me was like a hug I had never felt… those tears she shed were felt deep in my heart”

“I held her tight and let her let it out. I wasn’t repulsed by it. I just held her. And that is a moment I will never ever forget. So next time you judge a homeless person, think twice… not all of them are homeless because of a drug addiction or because they are lazy.”

Most of us would agree that to give a homeless person money would be foolhardy or possibly feed some addiction, but no one could fault Carmen’s show of selflessness and compassion. I hope it inspires more people to do the same in the spirit of humanity and the betterment of it!

71 Year Old Lady Lives In Car In Front Of Her House, Neighbors Discover The Reason Why…

If there is one thing that is synonymous with family it’s the worry because our family, siblings, parents and even friends are close to our thoughts and to wonder how they are doing and genuinely care,  really shows our love! There are though, unfortunately, a lot of people that do not have families to look after them and to help them out in desperate times. As it happens Theresa Hernandez was in this position. Theresa was 71 years old, living out of a car parked in Arizona, at the front of her house. There was no running water she could use and she had no electricity either so she would sleep in her car that was not drivable anymore. Fortunately, Justin Hernandez, her neighbour, however, the name suggests, he was quite unrelated to her, decided to call in on her. Having only moved into the area about a month ago it pulled on his heartstrings to see how his next door neighbour was living. He said:

“It tore my heart. It broke my heart” … “A 71-year-old woman sitting out here in 110-degree weather isn’t alright.”

“I figure if this was my nana or my mom, I wouldn’t want her to live like this, so I had to do something to help get her back into her home.”

Justin found out that the reason why the woman couldn’t live in her home was that the inside of it was a complete mess! Excrement and Trash and dirt were on the inside of the house. Theresa told him that after her husband passed away she really couldn’t take care of the house and the two dogs on her own. She said:

“So my jalopy became my home”

Justin started a Facebook page called ‘Paying it Forward’ and sure enough, complete strangers began to pitch in to help! People donated money and some people showed up as a group to help clean up! Craftsmen came to help restore the house with plumbing and electricity, happy to help out and offer their services to get all the essential utilities up and running again. Theresa could not have been more thankful and indebted to everyone, she said:

“I don’t know what I would do without people like them” … “What the world would do without people like them. There are very few.”

The house will, for sure, need a lot of work before it can be called finished and be in a livable state again, but thanks to everyone’s help, time and dedication it getting there quickly! The neighbour said:

“I don’t believe we’re going to have it done right away, it’s going to be a process” … “It’s going to be a long process, but at least we all got together and everyone’s trying to help Miss Theresa get back into her home.”

Hospital Canteen Worker Blows Everyone Away With What She Does At Christmas

As an incredible surprise, a food service worker in a Chicago area children’s hospital, Jessie Tendayi, saved up for an amazing surprise for the children who were at the hospital, keeping the surprise all to herself. The worker, 54 years old, working at the Advocate Children’s Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, does something very special. She saves her hard earned cash to do something special for the children at the hospital at Christmas, however, this year her surprise really blew everyone away! The Chicago Tribune reports that Tendayi saved up all year and spent around $5,000 of her own money to buy 1,300 toys, doing all the shopping for the toys herself! Tendayi said to the Chicago Tribune:

“I have to do what I have to do to make the children happy”

Tendayi arrived at the Hospital and Advocate Lutheran General, in Park Ridge, on the 12th December with the toys and the children were able to walk through all the awesome gifts and choose one for themselves. She began buying the toys for the children back in 2009, and on that year she bought, in comparison, 100 presents for the children in the hospital. Each year since then she has tried to increase the number of presents she buys, arriving at an incredible 1,300 this year!

Tendayi said:

“Why do I do it? God put it in my heart” … “One day I was watching TV and I saw children in need. I asked myself, ‘What should I do for them to calm down what they are going through?’ So I started saving my money to make sure the children had something to play with while they are sick, so they can forget their pain.”

Zimbabwe was the hometown of Tendayi where she moved from around 19 years ago, the two didn’t have any children, but, she says:

“I do now. I do have a lot.”

18 years ago Tendayi was hired to work in the hospital cafeteria and while she makes a modest living with her job, it’s not a lot, but nevertheless, she has a savings account where every month she sets aside money to save up for Christmas presents for the children. Tendayi said:

“It’s not about being rich. It’s not about money” …“The little we have, we can share. For me, it’s a blessing. I’m able to make a difference for the children. Children, they need somebody who cares about them. You want to make a difference to them. I felt in my heart I had to do something for the children.”

The biggest gift is seeing how the children appreciate the gifts, Tendayi says the children make her feel like she actually has a huge family of her own. She also said:

“I’m happy. I’m happy to do this” … “When God puts this in your heart, you don’t get tired.You love what you’re doing. I love helping other people.”

An Ultrasound Destroys Mom’s Dreams, She Prayed, But Was Completely Numb

The most incredible times in your life, as a new mom is when you get to know the sex of your baby, maybe as a surprise or well before the birth actually happens, it’s a great and happy moment. She can imagine the colour and plan the nursery, even see in her mind’s eye the future of her little one and the many many cute outfits she will buy! Katie Whiddon was nervously waiting for her 18 week ultrasound and hoping that her baby was a little girl, but when the ultrasound tech left the room in a hurry, she thought maybe she could quite be sure of something she saw, maybe it was hard to tell the sex of the baby properly? The tech came back with a doctor, which must have felt maybe a little reassuring that a doctor was there too now, and Katie was feeling absolutely positive and unquestioning that there could at all be a problem!

The doctor had some terrible news to tell her:

“Things aren’t good. Things are really bad…”

Katie was made aware of a problem, she was having a son that didn’t have any legs and only had upper arms… She did consider many options before this moment happened, but she never even give this possibility a second thought, she couldn’t believe that her precious baby would never walk or ride a bike, or even be able to simply just hold hands. Not wanting her son to have a life of hardships and suffering, she made an appointment for an abortion, she did, however, pray for peace, but all she could do was cry and cry! She talked to her mom and her sister, she needed to know if she was really doing the right thing, and deep down she knew that she had to keep her baby. She found out after that other people had been praying for her and her strength too, that night! She knew straight away that things were going to be incredibly difficult, especially as a single mom, but thankfully her family were so supportive and completely understood and supported her decision. They encouraged her to move home so they could be a bigger part of her life and to help her go to college.

Moving forward three years and her son, Camden, was really doing well for himself, in fact, a video of him and his little bro went viral with over 60,000 like on Facebook. The video shows Camden being calmed down by his baby brother as he gives him his pacifier. Katie is so proud of her sons, and how they really look after each other even now! https://www.instagram.com/p/BYgDN7VBi3I/ Katie Wrote:

“I know that most people look at Camden and think, poor child. But when he gets comfortable in his surroundings and starts doing things on his own, everyone always gathers around to watch!”

“Don’t underestimate someone just because of the cover they were born in”

Katie Whiddon is so grateful that she actually did make the right decision to give her son life, every day is amazing!

A 16th Birthday, Dad UnTarped The Gift, What Looks Like A Car Makes Her Laugh and Laugh

A coming of age birthday is marked, usually, by the ages 16 or 18 depending on your family and your location, but at least in the USA and UK 16 is a pretty significant milestone, and certainly in the USA this coming of age represents the time when you can legally drive a car of your own, licence permitting of course! This undoubtedly is one of those times when a lot of 16-year-olds receive a car to mark their passage into having more independence, and of course, this is duly noted by advertisers on TV, and television commercials too! So when you see a video of a father leading a daughter, blindfolded, outside to unwrap, maybe, a car, too many teenagers it’s a dream come true! Dad took the blindfold off his daughter, while mom was recording the whole thing, in front of her was a large tarpaulin and a large ‘something’ underneath the tarp, she started to laugh nervously and excitedly! The mom was recording this reveal as both dad and daughter were laughing, was it too short to be a car? Her dad played along with the thought that it could be a car, he said:

“Darling, this is for you.” … “Cuz you’ve been such a good girl…We thought you’d need your own car.”

She was still laughing and guessed that it could be a boat, but her father insisted it was a car! Finally, he lifted up the tarp, to reveal her ‘car’ underneath, his daughter started laughing even more! Underneath the tarp was hidden a small three-wheeler motorized vehicle. This is the best moment to just simply pause the video and admire completely the effort dad make for this prank, the long branches of wood taped together to make the shape of a car! All the effort paid off and really made his daughter laughed and laughed. His daughter was completely in with the joke now and appreciated the humour absolutely, darting around the new vehicle and giving mom the video a thumbs up for the great birthday gift. For sure this was a truly memorable 16th birthday, and all captured on video, awesome right? Wouldn’t you be encouraged as a dad to now do such an awesome funny prank too, provided of course you had a real birthday gift too, would you?

There are so many things in life that pass us by and that we pass by and ponder a moment to think, “I wonder what that was about?” , but in the case of Pavel Fesyuk, who decided to investigate the curious situation he encountered, it was a good decision! Pavel is a talented man and not only a former contestant on the television show American Ninja Warrior, but also a mixed martial arts fighter! But upon his curiosity and investigation, he wouldn’t need those talents… He just needed a strong sense of duty to help others in need. Pavel was driving his car at the time and he saw that a car had stopped on the side of the road and a man was next to the car, it was William Harris and he wasn’t just standing next to the car… He was actually, and more descriptively, doubled over! Pavel was not quite sure what was going on but he felt a deep sense that he should do something. When Pavel got close to William he straight away made it clear that he needed help, he was choking! Pavel thought that a good pat on the back would help this guy in distress, but it was very apparent that he needed drastic help, and fast! Pavel quickly wrapped his hands around William Harris, stood behind him, and rather expertly performed the Heimlich Maneuver! After two large contractions William could breathe again, thankfully, and amazingly it was all captured on the dashboard camera of Pavel’s car!!

Good Samaritan Saves Choking NY Motorist With Heimlich

The newsgroup ABC News posted the video to their Facebook Page there were a lot of people that were, of course, very proud of Pavel, in fact, Jennifer Guggisberg said:

“This world needs more people like this!! God Bless Him!”

And… Joyce Caro said:

“God Bless that Good Samaritan. I am proud of him, right there and then, there was no black or white, just being a good person.”

After William could literally take a breath again, a full clear breath, he and Pavel had a conversation, albeit brief, before they returned to their own cars! I hope if one day if I was choking that some amazing person would come to help me too, what a terrible way to die if you were to choke for the sake of a helping hand! Or maybe Shakespeare could compare it to the loss of his kingdom for the sake of a horse?

An Amazing Random Act After Firemen Ditch Groceries For Emergency Call

By

Some North Carolina firefighters from the Apex firefighters department were completely stunned by the kindness of a random act of a woman at Walmart. It still remains a mystery to the identity of the woman, but firefighters hope that she will at least get their sincere message of thanks. It all began when the crew from engine number 2, at Walmart buying some groceries had to abandon their groceries before they could even complete their purchase because of an emergency call. The left straight away for the emergency without a second thought.

We would like to send out a big thank you from the crew on Engine 2 to the anonymous buyer of their groceries at Walmart…

Gepostet von Town of Apex Fire Department am Montag, 6. Februar 2017

The crew said to the Walmart cashier that they would be back to pay for their groceries before they quickly left, there was no time to spare at all, they had to leave straight away to the emergency call. Firefighter, Andrew Baker said:

“It’s important to us,” …it takes no more than 90 seconds to leave on a call… “We take a lot of pride in trying to get out.”

When the fire crew returned to Walmart there was a surprise waiting for them, an employee, a woman, had paid for all of the groceries, with a note on the receipt saying “Thanks for all you do”. All the crew asked who the woman was, but nobody knew who it was, the whole crew left feeling overjoyed and grateful for such a wonderful thing that happened. Jeffery Jones, Firefighter said:

“The nice employees at Walmart told us that it was a lady behind us in line” … “But we never did actually get to meet her and tell her, ‘thank you.’”

The hope is that the storey will find its way back to the mystery woman and she will know that she is welcome to visit the fire station any time at all. The firefighters said:

“We would like to tell her thank you from the bottom of our hearts”

Sadness and heartache are commonplace in the role of a firefighter, putting out fires, emergency calls, sickness and death are all too commonplace. So, such a simple gesture was really appreciated, for the whole crew to know they really are appreciated like this brings such light to the dark days they endure and make it all seem even more worthwhile. Baker said:

“It makes me feel like there are still good people in the world” …“You don’t get that every day, so to me it gives you a warm feeling inside to know that people really do care about you.”

We will probably never know who the mysterious woman was, but her kindness is truly amazing and inspires all of us. Just also to realise that to make a better world we all need to give what we can to help others and to help the brave people, whether it is firefighters to army personnel who keep us safe and secure risking their lives for us.
