Nothing speaks Christmas as the selfless act of helping the less fortunate and doing our best to put a smile on their faces. A woman named Jessie Tendayi knows the feeling of making someone else’s day and she won’t trade it for anything in the world.

She works at the cafeteria of the Advocate Children’s Hospital in Chicago and this is her story.

It all started back in 2009 when Jessie felt sorry for the kids who were forced to spend Thanksgiving at the hospital, so she decided to get them some presents.

What she got as a thank you were a bunch of innocent and sincere smiles which triggered in her the wish to never stop making these kids smile.

This woman with angelic soul works overtime all year-round, picking up extra shifts and working late only to be able to afford the gifts for the little ones. She makes their every holiday a very special one.

Her house is filled with piles of toys that are perfectly wrapped and are waiting for some tiny hands to unwrap them and have the time of their life playing with them. She always lets kids pick their favorite toy.

The video below is so touching that you’ll need to grab a tissue. One grateful mom and her daughter are welcomed into Jessie’s “Toy Shop” and the reaction of the visitors is priceless.

Jessie restores our faith in humanity. We hope many people will find in her deeds an inspiration to do the same thing for those in need.

Café Owner Opens Doors On Christmas Every Year To Offer Party For Lonely People

We always tend to define Christmas as the most wonderful time of the year people should spend with their loved ones. But, the sad reality is that there are millions of people out there who are all by themselves and have no one by their side.

Luckily, there are those kind-hearted humans like the 31-year-old Kirsten Howe from Kenilworth, Warwickshire, England who know that no person in the world should spend Christmas alone. She is the owner of the café Alexa Lauren Patisserie that feasts people who have nowhere to go on the most beautiful day.

She started this amazing tradition three years ago, and she hopes it will continue in the years to come.

Besides the dinner, her guests have fun time playing games and listening to as well as singing the classic hits. Although the number of people is not big, Kirsten believes it will be bigger once the word is spread.

“We get around six to seven people every year, but we have definitely advertised a lot more this year, as the space holds 30 people and the more the merrier. The people who come along often vary, but they’re mostly older people, around 50-plus, sometimes widows or those who have family abroad and can’t get to them.”

Finding a soulmate that will understand your pain, smile with you when you are happy, and be there for you for bad and for worse isn’t something many people are lucky to experience. But those who do, have to make sure not to lose that person and always stick by their side.

But, life can be rough at times, and no matter how much they love and respect each other, people sometimes see the divorce as the only reasonable solution.

Jeffrey Agan, Sr. and Lorrie Spahn Agan untied the knot after 25 years of marriage. This decision came as a shock to everyone who knew them.

However, the story of these two people has a happy ending that melted the hearts of millions of Internet users worldwide.

Facebook/Love What Matters

After they split, both Lorrie and Jeffrey tried to find new purpose in life. While Lorrie opted to find herself through nature, Jeffrey pursued a new career.

But, somehow, they were both missing their old life and secretly wanted it back. Jeffrey was the first to confess by inviting his ex-wife to a romantic date, to which she agreed with a big smile on her face. Apparently, the divorce was a big mistake.

Facebook/Love What Matters

It looked like this Christmas was the right time for the two to try to make things right. Jeffrey got Lorrie the ultimate Christmas present. Their son Jeffrey Jr. shared his parents’ story with the Love What Matters Facebook page:

“My parents were married for more than 20 years, divorced, fought a lot, went to work on themselves. Years later, they start dating and as of yesterday, this happened… Congrats Mom and Dad! True love always finds its way back around.”

Jeffrey proposed to the same woman for the second time in his life, trying to fix the mistake he did when he agreed to a divorce.

Facebook/Love What Matters

Once it was posted online, the video had been seen by millions of people. Jeffrey Sr. told TODAY that he hopes their story can inspire other people to follow their hearts and believe in true love:

“So many people are going through painful experiences. So, I think what’s touched so many people about this video is there’s definite proof with this video that true love exists. 

And that true love eventually will find its way — sometimes it just takes a little while and there might be a couple of detours.”

We hope this couple will have a great life willed with love ahead of them.

‘Secret Santa’ Gives Struggling Single Mom A Brand-New Car

With the holidays just around the corner, we somehow start feeling the holiday spirit which brings in us the desire to help those who are less fortunate. Christmas is that time of the year when we hear of stories of kind hearted humans who step in and make someone’s life better.

The East Idaho News’ “Secret Santa” gets to surprise struggling families for five years in a row. Anonymous donor gives them $250,000 and a few new cars to give to those in need.

This year, they got to change the life of two single mothers who try really hard to make ends meet. They both work more than two jobs just to make sure their kids have everything they need, including warm clothes, and food on the table.

Kacie is a mother of a 10-year-old boy whom she loves to the moon and back. She does her best to provide him with the life he deserves. Recently, this mother’s car broke down and it’s been really hard for her to get her son to school. Knowing how her situation was quite difficult, her friend nominated her for this year’s “Secret Santa.”

When the East Idaho News crew entered the hair saloon where Kacie works and handed her a small box, she immediately burst into tears of joy. The keys to her brand new car were in her hands, and she couldn’t be happier. That was life changing for both her and her son.

The other car went to the hands of another single mother of three whom her friends describe her as hardworking and devoted. Knocking on her door and giving her the surprise of her life melted our hearts.

We are thankful for everything East Idaho News does for the most vulnerable members of the community. Because at the end of the day, everyone deserves the best Christmas.

Take a look at the touching reactions of the single moms and make sure you share the video with your loved ones. It may inspire someone to do a good deed this holiday season.

Every parent out there, no matter how rich or poor, does their best to give their children the perfect Christmas. Besides all the love they receive, kids would really love a nicely decorated Christmas tree with a bunch of presents underneath.

Angelica Huitt is a single mother of four who struggles making ends meet. This year, the family is moving to a new rental home in Sacramento County, California.

This mother works three jobs only to make sure her kids get the so much-anticipated presents. She somehow managed to save around $1000 for the gifts and she simply couldn’t wait to see her kids’ reaction to her surprise.

Unfortunately, the plan of having the perfect Christmas at their new place was ruined by some nasty thieves who broke the glass of their old place and took all the gifts. When she came home and stumbled upon the harrowing scene, her heart broke into a million pieces. She was left in shock and felt sorry for her little ones. All her trouble went down the drain.

And that’s not even the scariest part.

Take a look at the whole story of this traumatized mother who was left empty handed just days before what was supposed to be the best day of their life.

If you would like to help Angelica in any way, please visit the GoFundMe page that has been set up for her family. 

Family Annual Christmas Dance Is The Most Wholesome Holiday Tradition

Nothing speaks Christmas as the word family. And if yours is as amusing as the Orgill’s, that means whooping with laughter, and having blast during the most wonderful time of the year.

The talented and fun siblings never cease to make our jaws drop as we are left mesmerized by their unique moves and the dancing routine unlike any other. Their hilarious annual sibling dance is something we all wait in anticipation just before Christmas knocks on our door.

Wearing their mom’s old holiday sweaters, they hit the “dance floor”, and wish their fans happy holidays in the most quirky way.

YouTube

The family dancing performance became a tradition and this is the fifth year in a row that the siblings treat us with their old-fashioned family fun. They are natural talents who resemble professional entertainers.
Their silly outfits only add to the whole experience, which is all sparkly and perfectly suits the holiday spirit.

Joseph Orgill told TODAY that the tradition has ballooned into a yearly staple as soon as they started posting the videos online.

“It first started out as just a fun activity for us to do as a family together. As the years went on it turned into something we could all look forward to… people fly from out-of-state and practice for weeks leading up to it.”

Every year’s video is better than the previous, but this one is really something special.

The siblings made the perfect choice opting for Pentatonix “Dance Of The Sugar Plum Fairy” and Mariah Carey “All I Want For Christmas Is You.” The best part of all is that the viewers never know what follows, and this routine is really difficult to replicate. It consists of so many different moves and styles that create a perfect mix and blend together in harmony.

Obviously, the Orgills know how to make an entertaining dance video!

YouTube

Some of the modern moves that add to the old-style dancing are “Juju on the Beat” and the “Mannequin Challenge.” It’s obvious this loving and cool family members spent quite some time nailing down the moves. But the final result is worth all the hours spent practicing. People simply love what the Orgills do.

When the holiday season rolls around we can count on several things: Christmas decorations, the familiar songs that announce the start of the holiday season, and the Orgill’s awesome Christmas dance. They are so good that we can’t wait to see what they will treat us with next.

We hope they won’t stop making our Christmases in the years to come.

Special Guest Interrupts Boy’s Performance Of ‘America The Beautiful’

This video depicts one family’s joy and happiness, and we believe being this close with your family members is the one of the greatest accomplishments in life. As the little boy plays the piano and sings, everyone is gathered around him and enjoy the lyrics of the song that means so much to them, “America the Beautiful.”

We can feel how close they are and how much fun they have, being all together on a special day.

However, one of the members is not around, because he’s been part of the U.S Marines and was deployed at the time his brother was treating the audience with his music talent. Or, at least that’s what the boy on the piano thought.

Being deeply concentrated on moving his fingers over the piano keys, the boy doesn’t realize that someone special is approaching closer as he gets to the line “And crown thy good with brotherhood … from sea to shining sea.”

The visitor is taking his seat on the bench next to the boy who continues playing until he takes a look over the shoulder and can’t believe his eyes.

You already assume who that special person is. The boy is overwhelmed and his reaction is the best ever.

Take a look at the priceless moment caught on the video below. But make sure you grab a tissue before proceeding. You’re definitely going to cry at this one.

Grandma Rips Up Brides Wedding Gown Hoping To Help

Getting marry to the man of their life is every girl’s dream. When it comes to the wedding day, everything has to be perfect, starting from the invitations, the venue, and the food. But most important of all is finding the perfect wedding gown.

However, after the ceremony is over, many brides wonder what to do with their dresses. While most of them keep them clean and vacuum-sealed hoping that some they their daughter will be willing to wear it, others don’t get so attached to that piece of fabric and decide to donate it to those who can’t afford one.

YouTube

One bride however, seem to have found the perfect purpose to the dress she got married into. Justi Boroff didn’t plan on keeping it for the years to come at her wardrobe when she knew it could be used for something meaningful.

Facebook/Justi Boroff

She put it in a nicely sealed box and shipped it to a grandma named Sandi Fasano from Colorado. This lady would slice it into pieces, and when you learn the reason why, your heart is going to break.

“I sent it off earlier this year to be made into angel gowns for babies that don’t make it home from the hospital and I’ll be donating them to the NICU at Vanderbilt. Seventeen little gowns were made from my dress and as beautiful as they are, I pray they are never needed.”

Sandi admitted to Denver 7 that the first time she cut into someone’s wedding dress, it was hard. It was someone’s beautiful gown and she was about to chop it up.

What Sandi does for the grieving parents is very special. She knew that those tiny dresses would help soothe the aching hearts of those people who lost a child.

“The last thing a family needs to do is go to a toy store and find doll clothes.”

Front Range Angel Gowns

Once she learned how hard it was for the moms and dads to go to a store and choose a funeral gown, Sandi decided to start Front Range Angel Gowns.

“Because I have 7 beautiful grandchildren and in a perfect world, without loss, there would be more.”

Sandi says it’s amazing how many women donate their wedding dresses for the little souls. Many, however, are being given to her by moms who have unfortunately experienced the loss of a child themselves.

Justi’s dress was transformed into 17 tiny, lovely gown.

Sandi’s story inspired another woman named Connie Sieverding to start a similar organization that would do the same thing for the little angels who leave this world too soon.

“Thank you to Rhonda for her generous donation of her wedding gown. The Angel Gowns shown were made from Rhonda’s donation in memory of her niece who would have celebrated her birthday today, however is an Angel in heaven.”

Sandi’s masterful hands are able to bring a fleeting glimmer of happiness at a very difficult time.
