Little girl dies days after eating a tiny battery – family warns other parents of the dangers

Life is full of surprises, and sadly, we never known when a tragedy could struck. For the family of sweet Brianna Florer, that Christmas was the last holiday they got to spend around her company, because a day after the celebration took place, Brianna died.

No one was prepared for such horrific thing as the death of such young lady.

Her grandpa, Kent Vice recalls the day when his granddaughter swallowed the tiny battery which lead to her passing. What was supposed to be one of the best days of their life turned into a nigthmare.

“On Saturday she was fine,” Vice said. “It was a perfect Christmas.”

No one in the family was aware that Brianna had the battery in her body until she started throwing up blood. This scared the parents and they looked for a doctor to check on her, but where they live, Delaware County, there aren’t many medical professionals.

Brian and Stephanie Florer called the Jay ambulance which met them at a convenience store to check the girl’s condition. But it wasn’t until little Briana threw up “a massive amount of blood” that they took her to the hospital at the nearest town of Grove, Oklahoma.

There, they were told how the battery was in Brianna’s system for a few days.

Doctors tried to take her to another facility in Tulsa but the weather was really bad and no medical helicopters were available so Brianna was instead rushed into surgery.

Sadly, there was nothing that could be done for her life to be saved.

“They operated on her for 2½ hours, but they couldn’t stop the bleeding,” Vice said. “They believed the battery ate through to her carotid artery by way of her esophagus.”

If swallowed, batteries can do extensive damage to the body and even lead to death such in Brianna’s case.

According to The National Capitol Poison Center in Washington D.C, between 2005 and 2014 there were 11, 940 incidents of children swallowing batteries 15 of which were fatal.

“…if the battery lodges in the esophagus or digestive tract, it can open and release an alkaline substance that can cause corrosive or burning injuries,” says Randy Badillo of the Oklahoma Poison Control Center.

In cases where lithium button batteries are inside the system, they craete electrical currents which damage the body by creating chemical reaction that produces hydroxide.

Briana’s family is sharing the girls story in hopes of preventing anything similar from happening to other children.

They ask from parents to keep the batteries away from the reach of young kids.

We as parents should be extra cautious and keep a close eye on everything our little ones do. Batteries can be found in many household gadgets where they come easy accessible to the children.

Below is a video that shows the dangers of swallowing batteries. Make sure you watch it and share it with friends.

Mom is outraged after doctors apologize for her daughter having Down Syndrome

Nicola and Todd Bailey from Sheffield, England, were eagerly waiting for their twin daughters to be welcomed into the world. Their son, Lucas, was as excited to meet his sisters.

Then, just 30 weeks into the pregnancy, Nicola was taken to the hospital and had a c-section. The moment they all have been waiting for has finally arrived.

She was feeling fine and doctors told them their babies, Harper and Quinn, were born perfectly healthy, which was a huge relief considering they were born prematurely.

But then, around an hour later, doctors entered into Nicole’s room and looked all puzzled. Starting their speech by saying “I’m sorry,” they informed the parents that the firstborn, Harper, had Down Syndrome.

Down Syndrome represents a genetic condition caused by a chromosomal disorder which affects the person’s development, and sometimes, their intellectual ability. These people share similar facial features which result in bulging tongue, eyes that slant upwards, and atypically shaped ears among the rest. However, despite all this, people with Down Syndrome can do everything other people can. The sad reality is that they are often stigmatized and stared at, although the perception about them seems to be changing over the years.

Besides having Down Syndrome, Harper experienced other health issues as well. She had two small holes in her heart, one of which closed by itself and the other one required surgery.

Once home, Nicola and Todd couldn’t stop thinking about the way doctors delivered the news about Harper to them. Why did they feel the need to apologize for the girl’s condition? The Bailey’s hated the fact that the doctors felt bad about their daughter’s diagnosis, because according to them, Harper is as happy and as vibrant as any other child her age.

In order to try change the perception about people with Down Syndrome, Nicola decided to share her life raising the girls by posting on the social media. She couldn’t put up with people whose first words were “I’m sorry” when they met Harper for the first time because there is nothing to be sorry about.

People need to accept that it’s okay for someone to be born different and Down Syndrome isn’t a diagnosis anyone, especially doctors, need to apologize for.

7 amazing animal rescue stories involving children

By

Children and animals make the best of friends. Growing up around a creature, usually a four-legged one, can be great for children. That way, they have a pal by their side and learn how to be responsible from early age.

Below are seven incredible rescue stories in which the heroes who saved the day are young kids.

1. The volunteers at the South Charlotte Dog Rescue in North Carolina were struggling to get to a litter of puppies who somehow got stuck inside an underground drainage ditch. The time was running out and everyone was worried for the outcome and was praying for the little ones’ safety.

Then, out the blue, a nine-year-old boy named Rafe Spuler came across the rescue mission and offered to help. In no time, the little boy started crawling inside the tunnel and was able to pull out the puppies to safety one by one. They were taken back to their mom and the entire family was placed in foster care.

2. Animal advocates are those people who do all in their power to be the voice of the voiceless. They stand for the rights of animals of every kind and are changing lives every single day.

One of the youngest animal lovers and advocates that we know of is 6-year-old Zach Ford. Despite his age, this incredible boy is helping the most vulnerable creatures. Some time ago, Zach learned the sad fact that a number of species from around the world are endangered. Unlike many adults, he decided to do something about that. His first mission was to raise funds for the World Wildlife Fund and help save the tigers. Believe it or not, with the help of his family and his parents, he raised $150.

Currently, Zach is involved in raising money for the Bornean orangutan and the Sumatran orangutan, both critically endangered species. Way to go, young man!

3. Most young children enjoy spending time at zoos and animal sanctuaries because they get to meet different species whom they have previously seen only in books and movies.

Well, 3-year-old Ollie Augustus is not one of them. His parents were eager to take him to the Healesville Sanctuary in Australia, but the day didn’t go as planned. Instead of getting excited for meeting the animals, Ollie got really concerned for them. He dubbed the staff working at the sanctuary “not nice people” and explained that all those animals “just want to be free.”

What a clever boy.

4. 6-year-old Mia Rabii was taking a walk with her mom when they noticed a group of people gathered around a duck. It turned out that this poor mamma’s ducklings fell into a drainage pipe. The people tried pulling the babies out, but the pipe was way too narrow for them to be able to fit their hands inside.

Luckily, Mia’s hands fit just perfectly. In no time, this brave young lady pulled each of the ducklings out and everyone was very thankful to her, especially the worried mommy duck.

5. India is a country with a lot of stray animals. And as we all know, the life on the streets is an everyday struggle for these creatures. They are left all by themselves and are forces to look for food and shelter every single day.

And as not many people are interested in solving the problem, a 9-year-old boy named Neal Batra, from Gurgaon, India, decided to take matters in his own hands.

In order to be able to buy food for the homeless dogs, Neal is selling his comic books. So far, he has sold around 60 of them, including Archie, Jungle Book and Pokemon, and has raised around $30 dollars.

In the future, Neal is planning on baking and selling cookies in order to be able to raise money for the dogs.

6. The Polar Bear Walk to School Day then 7-year-old Sean Hutton did caught the attention of many media outlets and even the World Wildlife Fund. He wanted to raise awareness about the polar bears and nailed it. Over the years, more than 500 students joined Sean for the annual Polar Bear Walk to School Day.

We are very proud of Neal for trying to make a change.

7. One man snapped the most incredible photo of his 11-year-old neighbor and a blind deer taking a walk towards the grass patches together. As it turned out, the boy made friends with the animal and helped him find its path to food before he would go to school.

Although the man believed this was one of the most incredible bonds between a human and a wild animal, he had to call an animal rescue group. They came for the deer and took it to a wildlife preserve.

The photo gathered the attention of a huge number of people.

Mother who has a backpack leash for her adopted son has a message for those who shame her parenting

By

Monica Pop

Those people who still don’t have children on their own are easy to judge others for their parenting. The truth is that we can never really know what moms and dads out there experience when it comes to their kids.

One mother opens up about her struggles with her adopted child whose parents were drug addicts, and as a result, he was born with an addiction himself. Other than that horrific fact, Rachel Butcher doesn’t know much about her boy’s biological parents. She has no idea whether there were any genetic illnesses running in the family or if there were any other super energetic children related to her son. What she knows is that she loves her boy endlessly and that she has to find ways to cope with his hyperactivity.

In a Facebook post, Rachel wrote that she used to run a lot, but now, due to the scar tissue from her hysterectomy, she can’t walk fast or run, and that is one of the reasons why she has a backpack leash on her son who throws tantrums very often.

Now, she wants to send a message to all those people who stare at her and judge her whenever she is at the store or outside for a walk.

“10 years ago, walking around Disney World, I laughed and cringed at the sight of children on leashes. ‘How can they not control their child?, I’ll never let my child behave that way,'” Rachel wrote. “Yes, I was ‘Karen’ then, but, lets be real, every parent has said that line once or twice BEFORE they had children and ate crow years later.”

She only decided to open up about the situation after a recent visit to Target. After a lot of stares and nasty comments, she decided to leave the store with tears in her eyes and asking herself why so many women feel the need to mom shame so often.

She ended her post writing: “My child isn’t talking yet and we have a communication barrier. He attends occupational and speech therapy and he is THRIVING. He is such a happy, beautiful little boy with A LOT of energy.

“I’m not writing this for pity or sympathy, but more of a public service announcement to kids with leashes. My son does not have a disability, he is a runner. My neighbors know he is a runner, so much so that they chase after him too.

“It takes a village to raise a kid and my village rocks.”

Rachel’s story is truly eye-opening. Whenever we see a child having a meltdown at a public place, we shouldn’t be quick to pass judgments but remember that every family is facing their own struggles and battling their own battles.

Céline Dion posts new throwback picture from 25 years ago and we feel nostalgic

By

Being one of the best female singers the world has ever seen, Céline Dion has given the music industry more than anyone can ever assume or expect. Her voice, described by many as angelic, gives us goosebumps every time we listen to it.

Born as the youngest child in the family of 14 siblings, Dion described her childhood as a beautiful one. Of course, being the little girl among all her brothers and sisters wasn’t easy at times, but despite the number of children, her parents always tried to provide a decent life for everyone in the household.

Speaking to Woman’s Weekly about her younger days, the singer said: “No, it really wasn’t. I remember passing down clothes from one sibling to another – I’m the youngest child of 14. I had to walk to and from school four times a day often in snowstorms that were quite common in my hometown of Charlemagne in Quebec, Canada.”

She also said that being home with her parents and siblings was where she felt most secure and most comfortable while growing up.

Dion’s mom and dad, who were into music themselves, were aware of her singing talent and introduced her to the world of music. She stared performing at the age of only five, but the entire world learned of her only after manager and producer Rene Angelil, who later became her husband, heard her singing. He believed that she would succeed in conquering the world so much that he put another mortgage on his house just to help finance her album.

However, the name Céline Dion became one of the most famous ones after she represented Switzerland in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.

She became known internationally, and her everlasting hits, such as My Heart Will Go On, Because You Loved Me, The Power of Love and Where Does My Heart Beat Now, helped her stay on the top for that many years.

Dion became one of the biggest-selling recording artists of all time and has won numerous awards, including Golden Globe Awards and Academy Awards.

Dion and Rene, who was 26 years her senior, tied the knot in 1994 after dating for seven years. They have three sons together. Sadly, Rene passed away in 2016 after he lost his battle with throat cancer.

Dion was devastated. But she had to move on because of her sons.

In the past few years, the singer was heavily criticized because of her looks. Many of her fans believe that her overly skinny figure makes her look unhealthy. However, the singer responded to the criticism and said she didn’t need anyone telling her how to look. “It pisses people off that I am thin and I don’t make any effort. I have been thin all my life. Nobody in my family is overweight,” she told The Guardian.

A few days ago, she posted an old photo of her which brought both smiles and nostalgia to many of her fans and followers. The beautiful photo was taken some 25 years ago and it shows the singer rocking a short hair and wearing tight dress.

The beautiful photo was posted along with a caption regarding her album Falling Into You for which the photo was taken.

I can’t believe it’s been 25 years since we released ‘Falling Into You’! (I think I was only 10 at the time! LOL… I wish!) Our world has changed so much since then and who knows what’s coming next, but 25 years later I still love performing the songs on this album and I can’t wait to do that again!”, Celine Dion wrote.

“Thank you from the bottom of my heart for making my music a small part of your lives and for your love and support throughout all these years! As things continue to improve out there, please stay safe and healthy until we’re able to get back together again and celebrate – Love Celine.“

We love Dion and her music so much. After the pandemic is finally over, her European Courage World Tour will go on as planned, and honestly, we can’t wait.

Garbage truck driver spots tiny dog in trash collection and saves her life

The morning of July 19 started just like any other for a garbage truck driver from Michigan. Little did he know, however, that the day would end up in the most unexpected manner and that he would be dubbed a hero by the members of his community.

Namely, as this Granger Waste Services’ employee was doing his job, he noticed something moving inside the trash collection. As he took a closer look, he spotted a terrified dog among the debris.

He took the fragile animal in his hands and saved her life. Had it not been for this man, the dog could have suffered a horrific death.

One thing that neither he, nor the organization that took the animal under their care could understand was how did the poor creature end up there. That particular route was for commercial-grade dumpsters, which meant the dog experienced quite an ordeal before being rescued.

Capital Area Humane Society shared the incredible rescue story on their Facebook page, writing: “It is almost unbelievable that she endured being transferred from a dumpster, into a garbage truck, and then, endured the journey and the unloading process.”

Currently, the Ingham County Animal Control is investigating the case. Luckily, the dog recovered from the injuries, but due to the ongoing investigation, she can’t be put up for adoption just yet.

We are so thankful to the driver who saved the dog and hope she will be able to find a loving family in the near future.

Simone Biles’ boyfriend says they are “a match made in Heaven”

By

Simone Biles being part of the Tokyo Olympics is just another gem in her career’s crown of glory. This time, with her decision to withdraw from the competition, she became sort of a spokesperson for the importance of the mental health. “It’s been a long week. It’s been a long Olympic process. It’s been a long year. Just a lot of different variables and I think we’re just a little bit too stressed out, but we should be out here having fun and sometimes that’s not the case,” she said after announcing her withdrawal, as per USA Today.

At only 24, Biles has already accomplished a lot. During the Olympic Games in Rio in 2016, she got three golden medals and a bronze and helped put gymnastics on the pedestal.

Biles’ life hasn’t always been easy. As a young child, she and her sisters were part of the foster system before their grandparents could adopt them. Her grandmother Nellie, whom the star calls ‘mom,’ has always been very supportive of Biles’ dreams. “She encourages me and never lets me feel down about something for too long,” Biles told CNN.

In her Facebook series Simone vs. Herself, she spoke of the time she and her siblings were taken from their mother and then given to their grandparents.

“I don’t remember a lot about foster care, but I definitely knew that we had been taken from our biological mom and then you just think you’re going to go back to her,” she wrote. “[Me and my siblings] were very fortunate that we actually got to stay with our siblings because a lot of the time you either get regrouped from home to home to home or you and your siblings get split up.”

Biles’ fell in love with gymnastics “by accident,” or better said after a serendipitous encounter with the equipment used in the sport that would help her reach for the stars. Namely, as part of the daycare program she attended when she was just 6, they were supposed to go on a trip to a farm, but after the weather went bad, they were taken to a tumbling gym instead.

“The minute I got inside Bannon’s, I saw all kinds of equipment made for just my size – low beams and low bars and floor vaults that I was eager to try,” she wrote in her book Courage to Soar.

“I watched a gymnast do a back handspring skill on the vault, and I immediately wanted to try out the same move on the kiddie springboard. I let loose, going from one apparatus to the other, trying to copy skills I saw the older gymnasts practicing in the gym.”

At the age of 13, Biles was spending more than 16 hours a day at the gym practicing. She even decided to be home schooled in order to be able to practice more hours.

Biles made her international debut at the American Cup in 2013 and the rest is history. That same year, Biles won her two first World Championships.

Although she has a number of commitments she needs to answer to, our superstar still finds the time for love. Biles is dating 26-year-old Jonathan Owens, an NFL player for the Houston Texas. The two met through the dating app Raya. At the time they started chatting, Owens claimed he had no idea who Biles was.

“I didn’t know who she was,” he told Texas Monthly. “I just hadn’t heard of her, and when I told her that, that’s one of the things she liked.”

“He would say I slid into his DMs,” Biles told Wall Street Journal Magazine. “I saw him and I was like, ‘Oh, he’s pretty cute,’ so I said hi … and then I saw that he was in the Houston area, so we started chatting a little bit, and then we went to hang out a week or two later.”

Couple of weeks into dating, Biles’ sister invited Owens to a family lake house. Her family liked him very much.

“We ended up hanging out right before the pandemic,” Owens said. “It was one of the few times in her life where everything was just shut off and she couldn’t do anything. So we used it to get to know each other — really get to know each other. It created our bond and made it stronger.”

Biles and Owens have been together for over a year now and he says they are a match made in Heaven.

“He’s a real man. I just, I love him,” Biles told Today. “We have a great time together. Our personalities match right up. We have the same sense of humor. And he’s just great. He’s an athlete, too, so we really understand each other and I think that’s why our relationship has been seamless.”

We believe these two make an awesome couple. We wish them only the best.

Two enormous sea lions steal a boat and take it for a joyride

By

What happens when two enormous sea lions decide to spend the day sailing instead of swimming? One of the most hilarious videos of animals there are, I’d say. Now if you wonder how is it even possible for sea lions to sail, just hear this man’s incredible story. And yes, there’s a proof of it, because who would believe him if he said he spotted these hilarious creatures on a boat.

It all started when Joshua Phillips, a former professional football player, was at open sea enjoying the day in his boat. In the distance, he noticed quite an unusual sight and that’s when he decided to approach closer and take his camera out.

“The vessel looked a little off, and we got closer and closer and realized there were two massive animals on board,” Phillips wrote on Instagram.

The sea lions, who were way bigger than what most of us have ever seen, are having the time of their life and enjoy the joyride in the Eld Inlet, not far from Olympia, Washington. If you want to know how huge they really are, just take a closer look at the boat they “stole” and you’ll notice the back of it is almost completely under the waterline.

However, as much as love watching these cute creatures having fun, we can only hope there weren’t any people stuck inside the cabin.

The best part is when a third sea lion tries to join his friends on the ride but they won’t allow it climb. Honestly, it’s not that they are not friendly, but there wasn’t really much space for another huge animal to climb on.

If you want to see the incredible sight yourself just scroll down for the video. You are going to love it, that’s for sure.

Robin William’s son, Zak, honors his late father on his 70th birthday: “We miss you and love you always!”

The charm late Robin Williams was able to enchant the audience with is immeasurable. His incredible acting and his vibrant personality helped him become one of the most loved actors and humans who have ever walked this Earth.

Unfortunately, behind his captivating spirit and smile, he was facing his struggles and was fighting his demons.

July 21 marked what would have been Williams’ 70 birthday and his son Zak decided to open up about the life without his loving father by his side. “Dad, on what would be your 70th birthday, I would want you to know that your incredible spirit lives within us,” 38-year-old Zak wrote on Instagram. “Our family will be celebrating you and your memory today. We miss you and love you always!”

Today would be 70. Missing you especially much today. Love you always evermore. pic.twitter.com/Evc7uW48eS

— Zak Williams (@zakwilliams) July 21, 2021

During the last years of his life, Williams’ health started to fail. The man who could memorize thousands of lines without making a single mistake, started having troubles remembering on set. Unfortunately, that frustrated him a great deal and led to anxiety. “It was a period for him of intense searching and frustration,” Zak said speaking to Max Lugavere for the podcast The Genius Life, as reported by Fox News. “It’s just devastating.

Williams was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, but after his death, the autopsy revealed he had Lewy Body Dementia (LBD), a neurological disease in which protein deposits, called Lewy bodies, develop in nerve cells in the brain regions involved in thinking, memory and movement (motor control). According to an article by the Mayo Clinic, “people with Lewy body dementia might have visual hallucinations and changes in alertness and attention.”

happy birthday robin williams! what a legend <3 pic.twitter.com/pdKhV45x1T

Speaking of his father’s misdiagnosis, Zak said: “What he was going through didn’t match one to one [with] many Parkinson’s patients’ experience.”

Williams’ wife, Susan Schneider Williams, also opened up about the actor’s misdiagnosis. “All 4 of the doctors I met with afterwards and who had reviewed his records indicated his was one of the worst pathologies they had seen. He had about 40% loss of dopamine neurons and almost no neurons were free of Lewy bodies throughout the entire brain and brainstem,” she wrote for Neurology.

Once he became a father himself, Zak honored Robin Williams by naming his newborn son McLaurin “Mickey” Clement Williams. McLaurin was Robin Williams’ middle name.

In an episode of The Me You Can’t See, Zak revealed just how much his life resembled that of his late dad at times. “I started to realise elements of myself that were like him [Robin]. My anxiety, my bouts of depression, OCD, drugs, drinking like him.”

“It’s only in hindsight that you see ‘wow there’s a generational issue going on,'” Zak added. “I love being a parent, it’s the best thing ever. Do I see it as an opportunity to break a generational cycle? Yeah, there’s a major opportunity to show up for my son clear eyed and focused. To be there for him.”

#RobinWilliams’ son, @zakwilliams says his father was his best friend, and that his son loves his “Aladdin” character, Genie. Watch the exclusive interview here: https://t.co/elLV3d35pY pic.twitter.com/8Y6zfpdLAs

Robin Williams, the “bold” comedian with a “kind and gentle spirit,” died of suicide in 2014. May God rest his soul. He was truly one of a kind both as an actor and as a human.

Woman living in the woods of Wales gives tour of her tiny earthen home

Many people dream of establishing close connection with the nature, but not many are willing to give up their lives in the crowded cities or give up all the modern utilities which facilitate our existence.

Emma, a woman who lives in the most unique earthen home we have ever seen, located in the woods of Wales, turned to the simple life; the one without electricity or any other type of modern equipment. She is completely devoted to the nature and uses running water and fire to cook her meals for which she grows her own fruits and veggies. Emma also owns chickens and goats and has fresh eggs and milk every single day.

Source: YouTube/ Living Big In A Tiny House

And yes, this way of living means no rent, no neighbors, and no electricity bills.

Recently, Emma opened the doors to her home, which she built herself using only natural materials such as plaster, clay, and straw bales, to Bryce Langston of Living Big in a Tiny House. Needless to say, he was left speechless by the unique hut which many agree resembles those of The Shire in The Lord of the Rings.

Who wouldn’t want a cozy place like this?

Of course, living in the woods isn’t easy. Emma needs to carry water in the home from the nearby river and chop wood all by herself. The good thing is that she enjoys it.

Inside the 4 meter long home, there is a fireplace and huge windows with no curtains which allow natural lighting. The ceiling resembles a piece of art, and what Emma likes best about it is the sense of equality the perfectly arranged rafters give.

There are no rafts or cupboards as everything is on display and easy to access.

Outside the hut, there is a composting toilet and a bath which is heated with fire.

This is definitely the fairy-tale home for someone who loves being close to the nature to the extent Emma does.

You can take a look at the video of this perfect home below. It only cost Emma £1000 to build it.

Man added some cash inside a lost wallet before returning it to its rightful owner

They say that even the tiniest acts of kindness can go a long way, and the good deed one stranger did for a young man who lost a valuable belonging went viral and reminded us that we should never lose our faith in humanity.

Hunter Shamatt, a 20-year-old man from Brandon, South Dakota, headed to Vegas to his sister’s wedding and was hoping to have the best time. He did have lots of fun, but one thing made him feel very worried at the same time. Namely, Hunter lost his wallet along with $60 cash, a paycheck on $400, his debit card, and his ID. He had to borrow money from his relatives in order to be able to spend a few days in Vegas.

Speaking to The Washington Post, Hunter, who works as a carpenter, said: “It kind of sucked. I was anxious not having my ID… It being Vegas and all, I figured it was gone forever.”

To his surprise, just after he somehow managed with the plane company to return home, Hunter got a package. Inside was his wallet and a note signed with initials only. It read:

“Hunter, found this on a Frontier flight from Omaha to Denver – row 12, seat F wedged between the seat and wall. Thought you might want it back. All the best. P.S. I rounded your cash up to an even $100 so you could celebrate getting your wallet back. Have Fun!!!”

Wow! The man not only returned Hunter’s wallet, but he treated him with $40 as well.

Hunter’s mom, Janine, shared the note on her Facebook page, and they managed to track the good Samaritan down. It was a man named Todd Brown.

Hunter then sent a letter to Brown thanking him for his incredibly kind deed.

“Sir, I can’t thank you enough. What you’ve done for me is virtually unheard of.

Never in my life have I or my family witnessed such generosity. I never expected to see my wallet again, let alone with $40 more. Thank you so much, I’ve got student loans and a truck loan and it makes all the difference.”

What an uplifting story!

Teen steps in for struggling elderly woman and attracts attention for his action

By

Jessica Jones

Do you remember the summer days spent at the mall as a teenager? We may have been dirt poor, but we walked those faux-marble pathways until they were worn down. Chasing crushes, window shopping and gabbing with friends was all part of the mall-going experience.

That being said, would any of us have stopped in our teenage tracks to help an older woman in need?

Well, that’s exactly what one incredible teenager from Compton, California did while at the mall with his friends. Thankfully, his stepmother was able to capture her selfless son in the act on camera – and she shared her heartwarming footage for the world to see.

Instead of thinking of whether his friends were watching or what any girl his age might whisper at school, 13-year-old Dashawn decided to step in and do the right thing. He put his own interests aside to help an elderly woman cross the busy mall parking lot.

After watching her stepson carry out his kind act, Maria Lopez shared the footage with the Love What Matters Facebook page.

Maria wrote:

“I dropped our son off at the mall today, and I catch this as I’m leaving. To say we are proud of the young man he is turning into is an understatement. A lady even stopped and complimented him with tears in her eyes.

It truly takes a village, and our village is beyond proud, young man!

Our son’s name is Dashawn and he is 13-years-old. I met his mom 4 years ago and we will be married for a year on August 20th. Dashawn’s father passed away when he was just a little baby and he has been raised by an amazing village comprised of his mother Nicky, grandmother Kiwanis and grandfather Charlie.”

From the time I met Dashawn, he has always been a very special and kind-hearted child. Always doing anything he can to help out the less fortunate. And all without being prompted. Needless to say, everyone in his family is extremely proud of him, but nobody is prouder than his mom…”

“She, along with the help of her parents, Kate and Charlie, instilled in Dashawn at a very young age the value of respecting and honoring all people, but especially the elderly. On July 31st Dashawn asked if he could go to the mall with his friends. Since it was the last day of summer he was more excited than usual to hang out with his friends, knowing his weekday trips to the mall would have to come to a stop during the school year.

Fast forward to us getting to the mall. I handed him his spending money for the day, reminded him to make good choices and that I loved him and would see him in 3 hours. He said ok and he loved me too and got out the car. As I was getting ready to leave, I look up and see Dashawn talking to this elderly lady.

At first, I wasn’t sure what was going on because I was in the car and couldn’t hear the dialogue between the two. Then next thing I see is the elderly lady handing my son her bag of food and then she motioned for him to get on the other side of her. That’s when I realized what was happening. I pulled out my phone to take a picture as well as record the events so that his mom and grandparents could see what I witnessed as well.”

Dashawn didn’t have to put his own fun on hold to help this woman, but he did so without thinking twice. Clearly, Mom, Stepmom and the rest of the “village” have raised this little boy right.

He’s going to grow up to be a caring, considerate adult with a good head on his shoulders! There’s no doubt about it.

Watch another kind young man stop to help this elderly woman across the street. We need more people like them!

Royal expert claims Queen Elizabeth has new “insulting plan” for Harry and Meghan Markle

By

As they made a fresh start when they decided to step down from their royal duties and leave Britain, probably for good, Harry and Meghan have dropped down their HRH titles and are not allowed to use the word “royal” in their own branding. The two, however, are still allowed to call themselves the Duke and Duchess of Sussex, something the majority of Britons aren’t happy about. Why, you may wonder? Well, they believe that Harry and Meghan have slammed the Royal Family to a great extent, but they are still cashing out by using royal titles.

The relationship between Harry and Meghan and the rest of the royals didn’t deteriorate as much when they left the family as it did when they gave Oprah the infamous tell-all interview during which they accused the royals of a bunch of things. Among the rest, Meghan spoke of the family’s inability to help her with her mental struggles, claiming she was told it would affect the image of the Firm. She also claimed that a senior royal questioned the color of Archie’s skin, which many understood as an attempt to accuse the Royals of racism. Shortly after the interview which shook the world, William said his family wasn’t racist.

The Queen hasn’t said much regarding everything that has been going on. She only released a statement which read: “Following conversations with The Duke, The Queen has written confirming that in stepping away from the work of The Royal Family it is not possible to continue with the responsibilities and duties that come with a life of public service.

“The honorary military appointments and Royal patronages held by The Duke and Duchess will therefore be returned to Her Majesty, before being redistributed among working members of The Royal Family.” The statement concluded that Harry and Meghan will always remain much loved members of the family.

One person, who was said to be extremely mad at Harry and Meghan in particular, was Prince Charles. He accused his son of dragging the family’s name through the mud and wasn’t particularly interested in mending the relationship, especially after Harry refused to talk things through with him and William after Prince Philip’s funeral.

However, it looked like the Sussexes offered an olive branch to the Royals when their daughter was born. They named her Lilibet “Diana” Mountbatten-Windsor, honoring both the Queen and late Princess Diana. This decision, however, was slammed by the public who believed that neither Queen Elizabeth was consulted regarding the name, which was her childhood nickname, nor was she happy.

Now that Harry and Meghan lead their lives as civilians and Harry has announced he will be publishing a book which will be all about “the definitive account of the experiences, adventures, losses, and life lessons that have helped shape him,” as per the publishing company Penguin Random House, the public expects from the Queen to make a move.

However, according to royal expert Ingrid Seward, Queen Elizabeth will likely do something completely different and will deal with her grandson and his wife as gracefully as always, by ignoring them. Seward believes that the Queen won’t remove the “Duke and Duchess of Sussex” titles from Harry and Meghan because it will lead to compromising the relationship with them even further.

“I don’t think removing the titles would make much difference and it would look very petty,” she told Express. “I also don’t think it is something the Queen would want to do at this stage of her reign.

“It would be far more insulting just to ignore them. Even excluding them from the jubilee next year gives them ammunition to criticize the monarchy.”

As per reports, in order to remove Harry and Meghan’s titles, a statute would need to be passed by both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.

Donald Trump Jr. recalls he played video games with Michael Jackson as a child

By

Donald Trump Jr. has had his fair share in the business of his mogul father and former POTUS Donald Trump. Raised in the Trump Tower, he got to experience the life of luxury from the moment he was born.

When he was just 12 years old, his parents divorced and Trump Jr.’s mother, Ivana Trump, got the custody of him and his siblings, sister Ivanka and brother Eric. In fact, at the time, it was Ivana who was spending much of her time with the children while Donald Trump was busy running his business and expanding to Manhattan.

As a child, Trump Jr. spent most of his summers his maternal grandparents in Czechoslovakia where he enjoyed going fishing. He also learned to speak fluent Czech.

Being a young boy and not being aware of how things worked between grown ups, Trump Jr. blamed his father of the divorce. “How can you say you love us?” the 12-year-old Trump Jr. told his father, according to a 1990 Vanity Fair article. Later, however, he said he was “manipulated” into thinking that Donald was the only one responsible for the separation.

“Listen, it’s tough to be a 12-year-old. You’re not quite a man, but you think you are. You think you know everything,” Trump Jr. said. “Being driven into school every day and you see the front page and it’s divorce! ‘THE BEST SEX I EVER HAD!‘ And you don’t even know what that means.”

After the divorce, Ivana received $25 million payout and wrote in her memoir: “Donald might not have been the greatest husband to me, but he was a good father to the kids.”

Ivana was heavily involved into the family business while married to Donald. She was the designer of the interiors at the Grand Hyatt Hotel and Trump Tower, as well as president and CEO of Trump Castle and also president and CEO of the Plaza Hotel.

As his father has always been a very powerful man, he was good friends with a number of celebrities. Speaking of those times and the life at Trump Tower, Trump Jr. wrote in his book Triggered: How the Left Thrives on Hate and Wants to Silence Us: “Even when Dad would bring home a celebrity, which he did often, I would usually run in the other direction.” That, however, wasn’t the case when the King of Pop was around. Michael Jackson owned an apartment at the Trump Tower and he was a frequent visitor of the Trump family.

Trump Jr. recalled he and his siblings had several playdates with the music icon. During an occasion, as he and MJ were playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles on the Nintendo, Donald gave Michael a copy of the game.

“Michael Jackson used to come up and he was our neighbor at Trump Tower,” Trump Jr. told Fox News. “So I was playing Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles with Michael Jackson! You know, this is in the early 90s—maybe even in the late 80s. Peak Michael.

“We’re playing Nintendo and Michael really likes the game. So my dad walks in and says ‘well why don’t you take the game Michael?’ And so I’m sitting there like….,” he said expressing disbelief.

“My parents made us work for the things that we wanted and it was one of the great things they did for us,” he continued.

“So that took me whatever it was time to earn it — I’m pretty sure Michael could’ve called Nintendo and said I want one of those. It wouldn’t have been a big deal, but he just took it. I was like, ‘What’s going on here?’”

After spending some time in Aspen, living in his truck and working as a bartender, Trump Jr. returned to New York in 2001 and he’s been working alongside his father ever since. During Donald Trump’s presidency, Trump Jr. was his chief adviser and helped with the campaign a great deal.

He has been supporting his father’s plan to run for president once again. However, when asked whether he considers running himself, he said at a Conservative Political Conference in Texas that he hasn’t “personally thought about” running for President in 2024.

Trump Jr. also added that “[unnamed polls have] me pretty high up the list if not at the top of it.” As quoited by People, he also said: “Who knows. The reality with that job is you also have to want to do the day job, right? It’s not just about the campaigning.

“I love being in that fight, I love fighting for the things that are out there, that I believe in as a conservative. I will do that irrespective. To want to actually get in that mix, is a whole different story.”

Trump Jr. was married to now ex-wife Vanessa for 14 years before they decided to untie the knot back in 2018. They are parents of five children.

Vietnam vet makes a promise to rescue 50,000 dogs in honor of the K9 he left behind

By

Monica Pop

Many times, dogs play crucial roles at helping soldiers who are serving the country. Being deployed is not easy at all, so for many soldiers, the canines they meet and make friends with while at distant lands are the reason why they endure being separated from their loved ones.

One Vietnam veteran named Mike Monahan had his life saved by a dog named Chico some 50 years ago. Chico was originally from South Dakota but his owners sent him to Vietnam after they realized how overprotective he was and after he completed a Scout Dog Training in Georgia.

Unfortunately, after the war was over, Chico, and the rest of around 4,000 dogs were either abandoned or euthanized. Today, even years after saying the last goodbye, Mike still feels incredible guilt for leaving his furry companion behind.

For over a year now, Mike is writing a book about Chico’s life as seen from the dog’s perspective titled Chico’s Promise.

Speaking to WCPO, Mike shared a short extract of his book which is about to be published very soon. “Then one day Mike entered my kennel, took a knee, put his arms around me and said, ‘I love you, I love you boy. I’m sorry I can’t do anything about this, I love you boy take care of yourself. Goodbye Chico. Thanks for saving my life, I promise to never forget about what a hero you are in my eyes.’ Then I heard a voice say, ‘Monahan, time to go. Jeep’s waiting,’ and just like that it was over, once again I was all alone. Abandoned.”

The promise Mike made to Chico and to himself is to help save 50,000 dogs by covering the fees for their adoption.

In order to make this wish a reality, Mike will use the money from the book he’s writing. “My dream is that millions of people will read Chico’s story, fall in love with him, become inspired, and join forces to improve the treatment of dogs by eliminating abuse and abandonment.”

We hope he will achieve his goal and that many dogs will find their happy ending with loving families.

The ultimate sacrifice: In loving memory of Jennifer Michelle Lake

By

Jennifer Lake was a 16-year-old student at Pocatello High School, Idaho, when she first started experiencing severe headaches that would come out of nowhere. She somehow knew there was something wrong and decided to visit the family doctor and go through a series of check-ups.

Her doctor ordered an MRI on her head and that’s when Jennifer learned she had a tumor in her brain. That was the most devastating news a teenager could hear. She believed her life was ahead of her and hoped it would be a happy and a careless one, but instead, she faced a battle against a horrible disease.

Initially, doctors informed her and her family that the tumor was around two centimeters wide, but after they ran a round of other tests and scans, it turned out the situation was even worse, and the tumor was even bigger. Sadly, the cancer spread to other parts of her body.

Jennifer was told her chances of survival were slim even if she decided on undergoing through chemotherapy. She was also told that if she made it, the treatments would make her sterile and she would never be a mother.

”Jenni just flat out asked them if she was going to die,” said her father, Mike Lake, a truck driver from Rexburg, north of Pocatello.

‘We were told that she couldn’t get pregnant, so we didn’t worry about it,’ her boyfriend Nathan, 19, said.

However, something unexpected happened, and the couple learned they were expecting a baby. That made things different for Jennifer whose biggest wish was to become a mom one day.

But, that meant she had to make a tough decision. It was either her child’s life or hers at stake. In case she decided to carry on with the pregnancy, that would mean she had to stop with the chemo.

This fierce young lady decided to follow her heart and deliver the baby, even though it put her life in even greater risk.

Nine months later, baby Chad Michael was welcomed into the world.

Jennifer’s mom, Diana Phillips, recalled the day of her grandchild’s birth and said how her daughter grabbed the midwife’s hand and whispered: “I’m done, I did what I was supposed to. My baby is going to get here safe!”

Just six days after she had her baby, Jennifer was released from the hospital. Sadly, she only had six days to spend with her bundle of joy in the comfort of her home. The moment she died, little Chad was in her arms.

Jennifer was happy she got to give birth and kiss her baby. She made the ultimate sacrifice and that speaks of what mothers are capable of doing for their children.

Now, years after her passing, Jennifer’s family is making sure Chad knows of what his mom did for him and how much she loved him. Her story is touching the hearts of many since 2011, when she left this world.

There is a Facebook page dedicated to Jennifer’s life and journey where people pay still tribute to her sacrifice.

This story touched me to the core. Please share it to keep Jennifer’s legacy alive.

Neighbor flies into action after witnessing stranger pick up 6-year-old and toss her into car

What a rescue!

A man named Prentiss Weatherford from Louisville, Kentucky, was a witness to a child kidnapping while he was staying outside his home in early July.

There is nothing scarier and more terrifying for a parent than when a child is abducted. They are left fearing for their little one’s life and feel powerless, so most times, in situations like that, what they can do is wait, pray, and put their faith in the authorities to get their precious jewel home safe and sound.

When he saw his six-year-old neighbor being grabbed by the collar out of her bike and tossed inside a car, Weatherford rushed into his vehicle and started chasing the kidnapper. Unfortunately, he didn’t manage to catch him but was able to identify the type of car he was driving, a red Dodge Challenger, and memorize he last three digits of his license plate.

As it turned out, it was enough information for the police to act and track down the suspect. Weatherford alerted the police of the kidnapping and also told them that the suspect was a white man with dark hair.

An entire division of the Lousiville police department got involved into the search of the little girl. Shortly after, two police officers, Sergeant Joe Keeling and Officer Jason Burba, spotted the suspect and asked him to get down on his knees. When they opened the car’s door, they could see the girl inside, crying and looking for her daddy.

Thanks to the brave neighbor who ran into action and the officers who joined in the search, the girl was taken back to her family.

Weatherford’s action was praised by the entire community. Speaking to Inside Edition, he said: “Thank you for the kind words. I really appreciate it and just hope you guys would do the same in that situation.”

In case we find ourselves in a similar situation where we witness someone is kidnapped or abused in any way, it is our responsibility to step in, or at least alert the authorities.

In an unexpected turn of events, one police officer found himself in the right place at the right time and saved the life of a chocking student.

Officer Duane Smith was supposed to go to the school later that day, but he decided to return earlier after helping the school patrol. This decision, or call it an intuition, turned to be life-saving.

During lunch time, one of the students, Ethan Hamrick, suddenly started chocking on a water bottle cap that was lodged in his airway. Luckily, his friend Rudra Parmar realized what was going on and rushed to alert Officer Smith and the school nurse, Annette Lively. Without hesitation, Officer Smith ran into action and started performing the Heimlich Maneuver on Ethan.

After 14 tries, the cap move around and opened a breathing passage. Luckily, it gave Ethan a chance to take some breath while they were waiting for the ambulance to arrive. The nurse also did her part and stayed by Ethan’s side.

After the scary incident, Ethan was rushed to the hospital where doctors managed to get the cap out. He was soon released and is now feeling fine.

His friend, Rudra, who saw the emergency unfolding right in front of his eyes, said: “I was really hoping that he’d be alive by the end of this, so I just prayed. Because I don’t want to lose a friend…I’ve prayed for my mother and my father, might as well pray for a friend.”

Thankfully, everything turned for the best for young Ethan all thanks to his friend, Officer Smith, and nurse Lively.

Toddler helps German Shepherd overcome fear of sprinkler

By

Who could have thought that the big and brave German shepherd could be afraid of water. Although this breed is known for their courage and their service in the army and the military forces, they are allowed to be vulnerable at times and to have their own fears. This particular dog hesitates to go near the family’s new water sprinkler. He barks at it not knowing it will become the best ‘toy’ he’s ever played with.

Watching from the distance, the dog nervously stares at the water coming from the sprinkler as his little baby brother encourages him to come forward. It’s so sweet to watch how the little buddy point to it with his tiny finger as though he says, “Don’t be afraid, this is so much fun” and then demonstrates how it works. While the mom watches the two ‘talking’ she starts laughing.

Once the German Shepherd is convinced the water won’t hurt him, he approaches near the sprinkler and that’s when the real fun starts. Watching the dog play with the water is beyond hilarious. He is so excited that he goes completely nuts and can’t stop running around. The fear is now gone and all he has to do is enjoy even more.

We are happy this dog found a new way to entertain himself. Take a look at the video and don’t forget to share it with your friends!

Community steps in for a single mother and two young children who have been living in their car

By

Being a single parent is hard and demanding, especially now when a huge number of businesses closed down because of the pandemic and finding or even holding a job is harder than it has ever been.

Angela Thrower, from Richmond, Virginia, is a mother of two. Unfortunately, things haven’t been easy for her and her kids recently, and they ended up living in her car.

In the past, Angela was convicted of embezzlement, and that makes it even harder for her to find a place for her family. She says that her kids are forced to suffer because of that stupid mistake she made, and that’s not fair. According to her, not many people are willing to rent their property to someone who is a former convict.

“I’ve called every community line, resource line that you can think of and I’m still back at square one,” the desperate mother told WRIC.

Angela has been placed on the waitlist for some time now, but things don’t seem promising. “I shouldn’t have to be sitting here, crying, stressing and figuring things out when there’s a whole resource line,” she said. “They’re telling me I’m not a priority. What makes me a priority?”

WRIC contacted Homeward, an organization that tracks data in Richmond and the surrounding area, and were told that a lot of people are staying in the shelters for longer periods of time and when someone doesn’t move out, others can’t move in.

Luckily, once the news outlet shared Angela’s story, the community decided to step in for her. A great number of people offered to help, with some of them offering to pay for a hotel stay and others offering free apartments. Since then, Angela has started a GoFundMe page which helped raise over $5,000 in the first 24 hours.

Thanks to the kindness the community offered, Angela will luckily be able to find a home for herself and her two kids.

Single foster mom shares the story of her journey to family of four: ”Love has no color in my home”

By

Monica Pop

-

Not every child who ends up in the foster system is lucky enough to find a forever family. A lot of young kids go from one home to another, but never settle, and that’s a very sad reality.

Luckily, there are people out there, like Treka Engleman, who give these children a chance for a clean start and turn their life for the better.

Sharing her incredible story with Love What Matters, 30-year-old Treka from Cincinnati, Ohio, recalled the time she decided to became a foster parent.

“I have 20 nieces and nephews, 3 great nieces, and a host of cousins who I have babysat over the years. I’ve worked in childcare ever since I graduated from High School. I’ve always babysat for different families; I guess I can say I thought I was a natural when it came to taking care of children. Little did I know three children would change my life….” she wrote.

“For years, I wanted to be a foster mom. Yet I was always hesitant to start the journey into foster care because I didn’t think a single person like myself could be a foster mom (no spouse, no children).”

Treka heard a lot of stories of children who were left without a family, and losing her mother at the age of six, she could only imagine how hard life would be for her without her big family by her side.

Once she was told she was suitable to be a foster parent, Treka took some parenting classes at an orphanage and moved into a bigger apartment.

When asked about the children she wanted to foster, Treka listed down African American and Caucasian. “Color doesn’t matter to me. Love is love no matter what color you are,” this incredible lady said.

The first child she welcomed into her life was five-day-old Elijah Lee Hill. Soon after, she was asked whether she wanted to take two sisters in. Treka agreed, but only one of her sisters, Alexis Bowman, came to live with her. As it turned out, the older girl, Mercedes, got herself into trouble and was sent to a group home.

As she couldn’t imagine for the girls to be separated, Treka contacted the caseworkers and asked to take Mercedes. They agreed, and soon after, the two girls were reunited and Treka’s family became a family of four.

“On March 16, 2018 Mercedes came to live with us. The girls and little Eli were all so excited. So now at this point it was me, a single mom 30 years old with 3 children ranging from 1 to 15. What was I thinking?

“You know what I was thinking? I love these kids and I wouldn’t have it any other way. They needed a home and I had more than enough to give them…My family does not see color, just kids that needed someone.

“Yes I have had my fair share of stares while we’re out in public, but we just keep walking by unbothered. I’ve had people ask me, ‘Oh, are you babysitting?’ and my response is no, they are my children. No questions asked. I never say ‘foster children,’ but my children. Because that’s what they are and always will be,” Treka shared with Love What Matters.

“Love has no color in my home and they are loved unconditionally…If you are considering fostering or adopting I say go for it. It doesn’t matter if you’re single, divorced, married, black or white. You can change someone’s life!”

Thank you Treka for everything you do for your beautiful children. You truly are an amazing woman and a mother.

Disabled father couldn’t take newborn son for a walk, a group of students built him a wheelchair-stroller

By

Monica Pop

This uplifting story will definitely make your day. It involves a beautiful family of three and a group of very innovative high school students.

When Jeremy King became a father, he was over the moon. Sadly, his happiness was overshadowed by the fact that he could not enjoy his baby’s company to the fullest due to his condition. Namely, he had a brain tumor and underwent a surgery which affected his balance. As a result, he now uses a wheelchair.

Speaking to Good Morning America, Jeremy’s wife, Chelsie King, said: “While he can walk, he can’t do so safely carrying a child. So we jumped into, ‘OK, what do we need in order for him to parent safely?’ and honestly, not a whole lot came up — there’s just really not a ton of resources out there for disabled parents.”

“One of the things that we really couldn’t find was a way to enjoy walks with our son,” Chelsie said, according to NBC Washington.

“We really just wanted a way to have walks as a family and for him to be able to do everything that a parent without physical disabilities does,” Chelsie added.

After exploring all the options, Chelsie came up with a brilliant idea. She reached to the students at the Bullis School in Potomac, Maryland, who are part of the school’s Innovation and Technology Lab, or BITlab. One of the classes, under professor Matt Zigler, Making for Social Good, is all about coming up with innovations which improve the lives of those who need it the most.

Professor Zigler was more than happy to introduce his class with the challenge. “One, it was great to have it as a challenge, but two, it was great that it was somebody in our community that could benefit from it,” he said.

The young minds did the most incredible thing. They created the WheeStroll which allows Jeremy to have the so much anticipated walks with his son.

The students not only made one father’s greatest wish come true, but they also received plenty of awards for their invention, including “Best Inspirational Story” and “Best Showcase of Iterative Design.”

“To see the smile on his face and to know that I was able to help give him that connection with his child that he wouldn’t be able to have because of his disabilities,” one of the students involved in the project, Benjamin Gordon, said.

“It definitely made me feel for them and it kind of made me mad because something like this should be made already and we shouldn’t be the one—high schoolers—making these designs,” student Jewel Walker added.

We are so happy for Jeremy and Chelsie, and profoundly thankful to the young students for their incredible work.

Caitlyn Jenner says she will “support” Donald Trump if he runs for President in 2024

When Olympic gold medalist and a father of six, Bruce Jenner, transitioned into a woman, all eyes were on him. Known not only for his professional achievements but also as the former husband of Kris Jenner and part of the show Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Bruce, now Caitlyn, has spent a lifetime battling gender dysphoria before finally coming out as a woman at the age of 65.

Besides having kids on her own, Caitlyn has also been the stepfather of Kris’ children, Kourtney, Kim, Khloé, and Rob.

However, after transitioning, it looked like her relationship with her stepchildren sort of broke down and they are not into contact any longer. Speaking about it, she told Grazia: “I don’t talk about that side of the family, I spent 23 years of my life with those kids – it’s difficult to talk about it, terribly terribly sad.

“I’ve lost all relationship with them, yes, I don’t talk to any of them anymore.”

Recently, 71-year-old Caitlyn has turned to politics and announced earlier this year that she will be running for governor of California against Governor Gavin Newsom.

“Californians want better and deserve better from their governor. For too long, career politicians have overpromised and underdelivered. We need a leader with a vision and the resolve to see it through,” the reality star shared on Twitter in April.

“This will be a campaign of solutions, providing a roadmap back to prosperity to turn this state around and finally clean up the damage Newsom has done to this state.”

In case she’s elected, she will be the first transgender governor in the country. At the same time, Caitlyn slammed President Biden’s work so far and said she will support Donald Trump in case he runs for the presidential elections in 2024.

In an interview with Fox News’ ‘Justice with Judge Jeanie,’ Caitlyn expressed her support for former POTUS Donald Trump.

“If I was governor of the state of California… obviously, I would support him,” she said. “Yes, I still would support Trump. I do not like what’s happening in this country right now.”

This support comes despite the fact that the republicans took a critical stance regarding the LGBTQ issues. Caitlyn herself has done a lot for the rights of the transgender people, especially the children. She, however, is against transgender girls competing in sports. “I oppose biological boys who are trans competing in girls’ sports in school. It just isn’t fair. And we have to protect girls’ sports in our schools.”

Caitlyn says that what she liked about Donald Trump is that he was a disruptor. “He came in and shook the system up, OK? A lot of people didn’t like that in Washington, D.C., but he came in and shook the system up,” she said.

Dog fakes limp out of sympathy for his owner who hurt his ankle

Dogs! What would we do without them by our side? Honestly, they make the best of friends and are the only creatures who love us more than they love themselves.

But did you know that except affection and loyalty canines can provide sympathy as well? Just take a look at this cute dog named Bill who stole the hearts of millions of people after his owner Russel Jones from London shared what he did for him.

Posted by Russell Jones on Monday, 6 July 2020

Namely, Jones hurt his leg recently and he had to have it put in a plaster cast. That meant he experienced trouble walking properly and was forced to use a crutch. While out for a walk, Jones noticed how Bill started limping as well. He, of course, got concerned and took his four-legged companion to the vet.

After the check-up, this worried owner posted a video on the social media, writing:

“Cost me £300 in vet fees and X-rays, nothing wrong just sympathy. Love him ❤️“

As it turned out, sweet Bill was only pretending to be injured so that his owner didn’t feel bad for having trouble walking.

The video has been seen over 1.8 million times in just a couple of days and people love it, love it, love it. Well, what’s not to love here? Check it out below.

But then, around an hour later, doctors entered into Nicole’s room and looked all puzzled. Starting their speech by saying “I’m sorry,” they informed the parents that the firstborn, Harper, had Down Syndrome.

Besides having Down Syndrome, Harper experienced other health issues as well. She had two small holes in her heart, one of which closed by itself and the other one required surgery.

Below are seven incredible rescue stories in which the heroes who saved the day are young kids.

However, the name Céline Dion became one of the most famous ones after she represented Switzerland in the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest.

Unfortunately, behind his captivating spirit and smile, he was facing his struggles and was fighting his demons.

Once he became a father himself, Zak honored Robin Williams by naming his newborn son McLaurin “Mickey” Clement Williams. McLaurin was Robin Williams’ middle name.

And yes, this way of living means no rent, no neighbors, and no electricity bills.
