Dad surrounded by a group of soldiers at Chik-Fil-A jumps into action with desperate plea

Do you ever wonder how good parenting works? Well, I guess the most logical answer would be by setting examples and encouraging our little ones to follow them. This is exactly what one generous man did when he found himself surrounded by a group of military members.

Brothers Jonathan and Stephen Full were enjoying their meal together with their children when a group of soldiers entered the Chik-Fil-A restaurant. Jonathan knew this encounter would be the perfect opportunity for him to fulfill one of his dreams and at the same time teach his son a valuable lesson.

Having deep respect for everything these brave men and women do for the safety of our country, Jonathan was always looking forward to the chance of buying a soldier a meal. Now he got to do it not once, but multiple times. He told WTVD:

“It’s always been on my mind to pay for some military members’ meals when I get the chance. It just hit me real good in my heart to do it then. And it just happened.”

He decided to pay for the lunch of every member of the military that entered the place that day.

“Man is there a bus dropped off somewhere? Did we just hit the motherload here? What felt moving through my heart is I didn’t care if 200 more showed. I was still going to buy the meal.”

At the end, near a dozen meals were on Jonathan and he felt blessed he was given this opportunity to show these people how much he respected their sacrifice.

Stephen took some photos of this inspiring act and shared them online, writing how proud he was of his younger brother.

“As he paid for their meals, in remembrance of our late brother Joshua who suffered mentally from severe PTSD, he asked them to reach out to anyone they knew with PTSD and try their best to get them the help they needed. We thanked them for their service and left. Taught our boys to take care of the people that take care of us.”

Sadly, PTSD is likely to affect many members of the military, and Stephen wanted to raise awareness regarding the severity and the consequences of this condition.

People say how Jonathan’s act made him their hero. They all agree how every American should treat the military men and women with such respect. As for Jonathan’s son, he was a bit worried that all the food would be gone.

“What are ya crazy!? There’s not going to be any food left!”

He continued eating his chicken nuggets unaware that his daddy was now a local hero who inspired many to be more generous.

Baby born with white patch of hair is winning the internet

Genetics plays a huge part in who we are, and that’s not only true for our character and certain traits and behaviors we express, but our looks as well. We inherit a lot of things from our moms and dads, and ever other family members, and sometimes those features are what makes us unique, as well as different from the rest of the people.

The family of baby girl MilliAnna has a distinguishing “trademark” that seems to run in their genes and is passed on from generation to generation.

Sweet MilliAnna and her mother Brianna Worthy are just two of the four generations of women in the family who have a white streak in their hair and that makes them truly special. Their photos have captured the hearts of many who say they are the cutest mother-daughter duo ever.

Even before Millianna was born, her mother somehow knew she would inherit that special mark, and her intuition didn’t lie to her. Needless to say, this mother from South Carolina is very happy she and her baby girl have the same hair. That white streak above Millianna’s forehead looks very cool and stylish.

Science says this condition is known as poliosis and is a result of a lack of pigment. Many times, this condition appears along with vitiligo.

Brianna’s mom Jennifer and grandma Jaonne have the same mark. Jaonne was adopted as a little girl so she doesn’t know whether her biological mom had it as well.

When she was little Brianna was often teased because of her white patch of hair and her friends even called her skunk, but as time passed by, she didn’t only learn how to live with her uniqueness, but also embraced it and is proud of it.

She is glad her baby daughter is nicely accepted by everyone and that most people say she’s beyond cute, especially when they see the duo together.

Speaking to The Daily Mail, Brianna said, “The majority of the time I welcome the polite comments and don’t mind answering the many questions, but honestly, it can be overwhelming at times. When I’m in a rush and just trying to do what I need and keep going.”

Take a look at the video of MilliAnna and Brianna below and share it with your friends if you think this sweet little girl is beyond beautiful.

Mom doesn’t want adopted son after she has children on her own so she gives him away

It looks like some individuals’ cruelty has no boundaries and it makes us question our faith in humanity.

When he was just five years old, little Dmitri Stewart was adopted from an orphanage near Moscow, Russia, and was brought to the U.S. But the American dream turned into a nightmare for this boy.

When he turned 13, his adoptive mother, Victoria got pregnant and she and her husband Billy believed Dmitri was just a burden now they were about to have children on their own.

What they decided to do will chill your blood. They took to the Internet to find him new parents. These vicious people gave Dmitri away to a complete stranger they chatted with online.

Sadly, the person Dmitri ended up with was a woman named Nicole Eason who was engaged to a pedophile. She lived in a run-down shack she claimed was a home school. The worst part of all was that she wasn’t allowed to have any more children as her own were taken away from her by the social services. 

Luckily for Dmitri, a neighbor got concerned for him and alerted the authorities who took him from Eason. 

When they learned of Dmitri’s ordeal, people were horrified because of the way he was dumped by his adoptive parents. Children swap was something real and it terrified the whole country.

Thankfully, Dmitri was able to continue with his life. He’s now 20 years old and wants his story heard. 

Late Lady Di “visibly blushed” while dancing with Neil Diamond at White House dinner

This year will mark what would have been the 60th birthday of the princess who stole millions of hearts and influenced a great number of people with her heart of gold, late Lady Di.

The People’s Princess lost her life after she and her partner Dodi Fayed, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed, together with her driver and her bodyguard, got involved in a car accident. According to reports, they were speeding in order to escape the paparazzi, and that lead them to death.

Even years after the tragedy, her people have not forgotten their Princess whose legacy leaves on.

The statue of this incredible woman will be unveiled on July 1. Her sons, Prince William and prince Harry, are expected to attend the significant event, if Harry doesn’t come up with a “convenient excuse” as reported by some royal experts.

Today, when we remember the late Princess, we can’t help but recall the iconic night at The White House and the dinner hosted in her and Prince Charles’ honor by then-president Ronald Reagan and the first lady Nancy Reagan.

Just recently, actor John Travolta spoke of the special moment he shared with Princess Diana on that night back in 1985 and described it as a “fairytale.”

However, the Grease star wasn’t the only person who had the honor to share the dance floor with Lady Di. She danced with President Reagan, Tom Seleck, and Clint Eastwood as well. Speaking of that night, actor Seleck told Daily Mail: “I was so nervous I couldn’t think of anything sensible to say. It remains one of my great regrets – I danced with Princess Diana and couldn’t say a damn interesting thing to her the whole time.”

“At least I wasn’t quite as uncomfortable as Clint Eastwood. He went next and was really out of his safety zone!” he added.

But according to Pete Souza, the official White House photographer during the Reagan administration, it was singer Neil Diamond who made the Princess blush.

Souza recalled that Diamond was singing You Don’t Bring Me Flowers when he started dancing with Diana. “The one rock-solid remembrance I have is that Diana was visibly blushing when she danced with Neil,” Souza said.

The photographer commented how the Princess’ face was even more obviously red in person than on the photographs and added that Diana didn’t dance with her husband that night.

Meghan Markle was told by a senior royal aide she’d never be “in first division” in the royal family, experts claim

The saying “things aren’t always what they seem” turned out to be true for Meghan Markle. The actress has claimed during several occasions that she had no knowledge of the British royal family while growing up, and as many of us do, she probably believed that being a royalty is what you see in the movies. Sadly, it turned out it wasn’t the case.

The moment Prince Harry announced he was dating actress Meghan Markle, the two have taken the world by storm. Being an American and a divorcee didn’t bother the royal family even a bit. Well, at least they claimed so, stating they support Harry’s choice.

The wedding of the couple was seen by millions of people, and it was very obvious the two have been very much in love with one another. Despite that, the press somehow tried slamming Meghan whenever they could. And Meghan herself, believes the royal family could be responsible for the treatment she and Harry have been getting by the tabloids.

Speaking to Oprah, Meghan Markle said how she believed the speculations that Buckingham Palace itself might have played a role in actually helping the British tabloid press smear her and Harry to be true.

Among the rest that had been said during The Sussexes’ interview with Oprah was that Kate Middleton made Meghan cry on her wedding day.

Kate was reported to be angry at the allegations. A source said that Kate “would never forgive Meghan for throwing shade at her.”

At the start of her relationship with Harry, Meghan and Kate’s relationship looked perfect. Both of them, together with their husbands, were working together on different royal engagements. During one occasion, Meghan described working alongside William and Kate as “togetherness at its finest.” So, what has changed in the meantime?

Royal experts, among which Tom Quinn, say how Meghan was told by a senior royal aide that she “would never be in first division.”

Apparently, the whole feud started when Meghan and Harry started living at Kensington Palace, which was William and Kate’s home. Soon after, they moved into Nottingham Cottage, not far from Kate and William. According to Quinn, Meghan wasn’t happy that The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge were given a quite bigger home.

“It was being pointed out to them in no uncertain terms that they weren’t in the first division, because that place is held by William and Kate. Inevitably that led to friction,” Quinn claims. “In Meghan’s world, if you’re determined enough, you can get to the top. But Meghan can’t, she can’t get to the top whatever she does.”

We can never tell with certainty if this was one of the reasons why Harry and Meghan left Britain, but one thing is certain, they did want to lead a more normal life, away from the fuss that comes with being part of the royalty.

Royal expert believes Kate Middleton used Prince Louis’ birthday photo to send secret message to Prince Harry

One of the reasons why Prince Harry and Meghan Markle stepped down from their royal duties and left Britain was that they wanted to lead more normal lives, away from the paparazzi and the tabloids. However, being royals, that doesn’t seem to be possible no matter which side of the world they decide to reside at. Even in California, paparazzi take photos of the couple and their soon-to-be two year old boy Archie.

Speaking of his new life in the States, Harry was reported saying: “I guess the highlight for me is sticking [son Archie] on the back of a bicycle in his little baby seat and taking him on bike rides which is something I was never able to do when I was young.”

Listening to Harry explaining how he now has the chance to spend more time with his family and do a bunch of things, highlighting taking Archie on bike rides, something he claims he didn’t do while growing up in the Palace, one would say the royal children are robbed of their childhood, which apparently isn’t the case judging from Kate and William’s photos of their own kids.

In fact, some believe that Kate posting a photo of young Prince Louis on his red bike for his birthday and his first day of nursery hides a secret message to Harry.

Daniela Elser, a royal expert, comments on the photo saying: “For one thing, there are in fact a number of shots of Harry as a child riding a two-wheeler with his own dad Prince Charles and brother Prince William. Therefore, it could be argued that the duchess is highlighting that perhaps Harry has been indulging in a certain historical revisionism, something which the inhabitants of Kensington Palace did not miss.”

“The inclusion of the bike can also be read as a very clear rejoinder on William and Kate’s part that despite Harry’s characterization of the climate in the UK as ‘toxic,’ the Cambridge kids enjoy a life of relative normalcy,” Elsner wrote.

Honestly, we believe that Prince Louis’ photo was just an innocent one and showed the joy of his parents celebrating his birthday, but who knows, maybe it did have a message for the boy’s uncle.

Boyfriend asked to check on baby and grandma makes a terrifying discovery

Tracy Ineichen is a 28-year-old mom of a sweet baby girl named Brier. Sadly, this woman had made a minor offence and ended up serving prison time so her little girl was left in the care of her grandma Annette.

Although Tracy knew Brier was in safe hands, she felt something could be wrong after her mom and her daughter didn’t show up to visit her in prison when they arranged. 

Worried, she called her boyfriend Anthony and asked him to check up on Annette and Brier. What he stumbled upon left him in a complete shock. 

The house was quiet and once he entered inside he saw Brier in her crib, all scared and confused. He inspected the place and the moment he entered the bedroom he noticed Annette’s lifeless body. 

The 58-year-old woman was dead and and the baby girl was dehydrated and malnourished. 

Antony alerted the police that came at the scene and said how the woman passed away around five days prior the visit. That meant the baby didn’t have any food or water for that long.

It was determined that Annette died of natural causes. 

When she learned of her mother’s passing, Tracy was left heartbroken. She was also very sad that she wasn’t by her daughter’s side. Luckily, Anthony was there to take great care of the girl while she was recovering from the stress. 

Although he isn’t her biological father, he was more than happy to look after sweet Brier until she was placed in a foster family by the social services. 

“I’m basically like her godfather,” he says, as per WVLT.

“Throughout her whole life, her short little fifteen months that she’s been here, I’ve tried to help her out.”

Thankfully, Tracy is now out and reunited with her daughter. She’s now a completely new person and makes sure she stays out of trouble because she wants to be someone her daughter will look up to when she grows older. 

Harry might be looking for a “convenient excuse” to skip his late mother’s statue reveal ceremony

A lot has been going on between the members of the British royal family lately. From Harry and Meghan stepping down from their royal duties, to leaving The UK and moving to America and the now-infamous interview they had with Oprah, it all added to the strained relationship between Harry and the rest of the family.

The accusations made by the Sussexes left the royals speechless. They were having a hard time moving on from the claims made by Harry and Meghan, including revelations about the conversations senior royals had about how dark Archie’s skin might be and Kate making Meghan cry on her wedding day.

After the interview, a source told US Weekly: “The interview was the final nail, it’s over. Meghan burned all of her bridges and Kate has no interest in speaking to her.”

Initially, it was planned for Harry to travel back to Britain in June, for the reveal of his late mother’s statue that would mark what would have been her 60th birthday. However, Prince Philip’s passing forced him to meet his family earlier than planned.

While in UK, Harry met with his brother and father, who he claimed were trapped in the system during the Oprah interview, and although the public was hoping for the things between the three to get better, that didn’t happen.

Youtube/Theroyalfamilychannel

Source told Radar Online that “the meeting after the family laid Prince Philip to rest was not scheduled. Harry felt ambushed by his dad and brother which is no way to start a peace process.”

Apparently, the meeting was “unproductive,” but experts now claim that Harry might be having second thoughts about splitting from the royals. “His heart is on two different sides of the Atlantic now,” Paul Burrel, Princess Diana’s butler of 10 years, told Closer. “Meghan will be faced with that dilemma – the bombshell that Harry now feels split in two.”

Despite that, other royal experts claim that Harry might be reconsidering seeing his family again in June for the statue reveal and will likely come up with a “convenient excuse.”

Russell Myers, royal editor at the Daily Mirror, said on talkRADIO, as quoted by the Express, “I’m told he is still committed to coming. Both camps are. Certainly Kate and William will welcome him if he wants to come back.”

“His intention is to come back. One may wonder, if his wife has just had a baby, I’m sure he could jump on a private jet and made a flying visit.”

“But, will it be a convenient excuse so he doesn’t have to come back and face the family?” he added.

We are yet to see if this encounter takes place. We hope it will.

Prince Harry gave his late mother’s engagement ring to William so that he could propose to Kate with it

The bond between siblings is the strongest and most profound there is. This relationship is deepened even further when a parent is lost. In tragic times like that, siblings get even more connected to one another because they feel the same heartache.

And this is true for anyone, no matter if you are an ordinary person or a member of the Rotalty.

On the day the Princess of the People, Lady Di, died, William and Harry lost their loving mother. She was loved by many because she was never afraid to stand for what she believed in. Her courage and heart of gold were something not many possess.

Today, however, the bond between the brothers is almost broken after Harry and wife Meghan decided to step down from their royal duties and move to the States, and later gave a bombshell interview during which they made accusations against the royal family, with Harry even saying that his father and brother are trapped in the system.

After the funeral of Prince Philip in April this year, it looked like the relationship could be fixed as Harry and William met after almost a year, but that wasn’t really the case.

Losing their mother was devastating for Harry and William. The sight of them walking behind her coffin broke millions of hearts.

After her passing, the young princes were allowed to choose an item from their mom’s personal jewelry collection to hold on to, as revealed by Princess Diana’s personal butler Paul Burrell in the Amazon Prime documentary The Diana Story. Paul recalled that Prince William was the first to choose. “I’d like mummy’s Cartier watch, the one that Grandpa Spencer gave to her for her 21st birthday,” he was reported to had said. Prince Harry chose his mom’s famous engagement ring. “I remember when I held mummy’s hand when I was a small boy and that ring always hurt me because it was so big,” Paul cited young Harry saying.

The two brothers now only had those pieces of jewelry and the memories to remind them of their mother.

Years later, when Prince William met Kate Middleton and knew she was the one, Harry believed she should have their mom’s ring. He knew that piece of jewelry was way too precious to Princess Diana and felt it should be passed on to someone just as special as Kate. Paul said of that touching moment, “Harry said to him: ‘Wouldn’t it be fitting if she had mummy’s ring? Then one day that ring will be sat on the throne of England.'”

William was honored and proposed to Kate in 2010 with that ring that still has a sentimental value for both the brothers.

William asked Kate to be his wife during a trip to Kenya and made whole Britain happy. Seeing him starting his own family filled people’s hearts with joy. Everyone knew his mother was watching from above and smiling.

The Prince spoke of the ring and told ABC News, “Well as you may recognize now, it’s my mother’s engagement ring and it’s very special to me, as Kate is very special to me now as well. It was only right the two were put together.”

“It was my way of making sure mother didn’t miss out on today and the excitement and the fact that we’re going to spend the rest of our lives together,” the prince added.

Harry himself wanted to honor his late mother when he got engaged to actress Megan Markle and designed the engagement ring himself.

The yellow-gold ring has three diamonds. The central stone is from Botswana, a place Prince Harry keeps close to his heart, and the diamonds on the sides belong to Princess Diana and are part of her personal collection.

Meghan said she was very happy and very honored to be having a ring that will always remind her of her husband’s mother, whom she never met, but Harry loves deeply. “It’s so important to me to – to know that she’s a part of this with us,” Meghan was reported saying.

Asked about what his late mother would think of his choice, Harry said smiling, “Oh they’d be thick as thieves, without question. I think she would be over the moon, jumping up and down, you know so excited for me, but then, as I said, would have probably been best friends – best friends with Meghan. So no it’s – you know it is days like – days like today when – when I really miss having her around and miss being able to share the happy news. But you know with the ring and with everything else that’s going on I’m sure she’s…”

Both Prince William and Prince Harry pay tribute to the People’s Princess whenever they have a chance.

2 Hillbillies observed woman choking on her food — here’s their reaction

This is a good joke and the kind you can think about later and start laughing or smiling about. ?♥️?

I would like to share it with you because it’s an absolutely hilarious one! Here’s what happened:

Two hillbillies had noticed a woman choking on her food by chance. But how they responded has the internet exploding in giggles!

As the two hillbillies walk into a local restaurant as they had decided to stop by for a bite to eat. While they dined, they talked about their moonshine operation.

All of a sudden, one woman sitting next to them (she had been eating a sandwich just right across their table) begun to cough. After one minute or so, she continued to do so. It became apparent that she was, actually in real distress.

One of the hillbillies became concerned, looked at her and asked: “Kin ya swallar?” The woman shook her head, signaling a no. Then he asks: “Kin ya breathe?” The woman has begun to turn blue in the face, but still somehow manages to shake her head once more.

The hillbilly then walked over to the woman, lifted up her dress, yanked down her drawers, and gave her right butt cheek a swift lick – with his tongue.

The woman became very shocked, so much so that she has a violent spasm, which caused her food obstruction to fly out of her mouth and out of her gullet. As she tries to breathe slowly and normally, the hillbilly walks away and back to his table.

His friend then told him: “Ya know, I’d heerd of that there ‘Hind Lick Maneuver’ but I never seed nobody done it.”

What do you think?

John Travolta opens up about the grief that followed after his wife’s passing: ‘Only your own journey can heal you’

John Travolta’s career spans many years over which he had played significant roles and has been part of iconic movies. He was, and probably still is, one of the Hollywood heartthrobs whose charm steals hearts.

Throughout his life, the Grease star suffered a number of tragedies which changed his entire life. Back in 2009, while on holiday in the Bahamas, his son Jett suffered a seizure and passed away. The actor and his wife Kelly Preston were heartbroken. Back then, he spoke of the loss to US Weekly and said: “It’s the worst thing that’s ever happened in my life. The truth is, I didn’t know if I was going to make it.”

Unfortunately, in July 2020, Travolta lost his beloved wife Kelly. She died of breast cancer that she fought against privately, out of the eyes of the public. After her passing, the actor shared the devastating news on Instagram. “My family and I will forever be grateful to her doctors and nurses at MD Anderson Cancer Center, all the medical centers that have helped, as well as her many friends and loved ones who have been by her side. Kelly’s love and life will always be remembered.”

Travolta and Preston were considered one of the most beautiful couples in Hollywood.

And as much as we want to believe that time is the best healer, the truth is that when we lose someone, we can never be the exact same people we were when our life was whole.

In the newest edition of Esquire Mexico, Travolta opened up about the grieving process after Kelly’s passing.

“I have learned that mourning someone, mourning, is personal,” Travolta told Esquire Spain. “Mourning is individual and only your own journey can heal you.”

“This is different from someone else’s journey. The most important thing you can do to help another when they are in mourning is to allow them to live it and not complicate it with yours. That’s my experience.”

Not having his beloved wife by his side, Travolta decided to dedicate his time to his children, Ella, 21, and Ben, 10. Ella is following into her parents’ footsteps and is choosing a career in acting.

That he is a very devoted father is something we can all see, and his latest commercial for the Super Bawl shows him doing some of his legendary dance moves together with his daughter.

“It was magical, because there is no one in the world with whom I wanted to dance more than with my daughter Ella,” he told Esquire.

“It worked on so many levels! First, as a unique piece of entertainment that people enjoyed watching; second, it allowed me to introduce my daughter to the whole world on a huge stage, show her talent and beauty; and it also became a beautiful tribute to his mother.”

We love John Travolta so very much and we hope he will be able to eventually overcome the grief that came with his wife’s passing.

John Travolta says dancing with Princess Diana at the White House felt like a “fairytale”

John Travolta dancing with Princess Diana remains up until this day one of the most iconic moments of pop culture.

Although he has shown his incredible dancing skills in a number of movies, including Grease, Saturday Night Fever, and Pulp Fiction, just to name a few, the actor had his most famous dance back in 1985 at the White House after he barely gathered courage to ask the Princess of the People for a dance.

During the White House state dinner hosted by then-President Ronald Reagan and First Lady Nancy Reagan, Nancy approached the actor and told him that the Princess wanted to dance with him. We can only imagine the joy and excitement young Travolta felt at that particular moment when he was struggling to find the right words and invite Lady Di to the dance floor.

Last week, Travolta spoke to Esquire Mexico and recalled the iconic moment, comparing it to a fairytale.

Youtube/ET

As reported by People, the now 67-year-old actor said: “I didn’t think they’d ask me to dance with her. I had the great privilege and honor of doing so, and I thought, ‘There must be a reason for doing this and I better give it my all,'” he revealed. “That meant lead the dance well and make sure we had fun. That was the easy part, but just the fact of greeting Diana appropriately, being confident and asking her to dance was a complicated task.”

“Think of the setting. We were at the White House. It’s midnight. The stage is like a dream. I approach her, touch her elbow, invite her to dance,” he said. “She spins around and gives me that captivating smile, just a little sad, and accepts my invitation. And there we were, dancing together as if it were a fairytale.”

In 2016, during Good Morning America appearance, the Pulp Fiction star said that if he could bring anything back from the 80′, he would chose to have another dance with the royal.

Back in 2007, Travolta spoke to the Dutch TV station Één, saying: “I’ll never forget it,” he added. “I’m so honored that I was able to experience this, and I know for a fact that it was her highlight of being in the United States; it was her favorite moment. So I feel I made her life better, she made my life better, and I’m very sorry that she’s not here,” as per People.

Plumber took job at cancer-sick 91-year-old’s home, and his invoice is now going viral

If you feel like your faith in humanity has been lots, fear not, as 52-year-old plumber James Anderson is here to restore it.

This kind man with a heart of gold fixes things for vulnerable people without charging them any money.

He used to run a business that he shut down in order to create the non-for-profit company Depher.

Although he has been working for free for some time now, it wasn’t until recently that the story of his kindness spread across the country.

Namely, the bill he gave to a 91-year-old lady with acute-leukemia with total of zero dollars to charge was posted online by the woman’s daughter and vent viral.

On the bill, James, who is a father of five, wrote, “No charge for this lady under any circumstances. We will be available 24 hours to help her and keep her as comfortable as possible.”

“A lot of people close to me ask: why are you getting yourself in to debt? Why are you doing this?” he said.

“To me, debt is debt… I would rather owe some money to somebody and another person be alive and happy and safe.”

Since he started providing free or low-cost plumbing for those in need in 2017, his dept has risen to around $9,940. But he believes that it is nothing compared to the happiness of those he helps.

“It’s an ethos that’s in my heart and it will always stay there.”

Just recently, he decided to ask others to be part of his company so that more vulnerable citizens get the help they desperately need.

“I’ve spoken to quite a few engineers around the country and they’re all for it… it’s just getting the funding,” he said.

“I don’t want any person who is elderly and disabled in this country, in this day and age, to die or suffer because of a cold home or a lack of funding to repair the boiler.”

“It shouldn’t be happening – that number should be down to zero. Simple as that.”

Since his invoice went viral, many people became familiar with his work and James was able to raise $100,000 in donations. He’s no longer struggling to keep his non-profit afloat. 

James really is a very special person. Nowadays, it’s very rare to meet someone who puts the happiness of others above their own, but James is a proof that those people do exist and make this world a much better place.

Autistic boy is devastated after his plants get stolen but is sure the cops will help him find them

Officer Rule from the North Bend Police Department went an extra mile for a 4-year-old autistic boy who was saddened because the peppers he was growing got stolen.

Sweet Johnny from Oregon was taking care of his pepper plants and made sure he was checking on them every single day, until one morning when he noticed that they were missing. Johnny felt devastated. He wanted his plants back and couldn’t imagine who could have possibly taken them from the garden.

Facebook/BaileePultz

His parents alerted the police of the incident and Johnny was sure the officers would go above and beyond to find his pepper plants. “Don’t worry, mommy and daddy, the cops will catch him, and they’ll bring my peppers back,” the sweet boy said.

Facebook/BaileePultz

Officer Rule didn’t discover who was the person behind the stealing, but that didn’t prevent him from putting a smile on little Johnny’s face. This incredible man brought Johnny even bigger pepper plant than the one he had.

Thanks to Officer Rule, everything in Johnny’s world seemed right again.

Tiny-home village offering housing gives homeless people the chance to get back on their feet again

The reasons why people end up being homeless are various. According to The National Homelessness Law Center, the top causes of homelessness are lack of affordable housing, unemployment, poverty, mental illness and lack of needed services, and substance abuse.

Based on a number of reports by different organizations, the number of people who didn’t have roof over their head and experienced homelessness on a given night between 2007 and 2020 is 580,466.

It is very obvious that the country struggles to find a solution for this issue, and a woman named Debbie O’Malley, Bernalillo County Commissioner, seems to have found a way to reduce the number of homeless people.

Her idea of a tiny-home community is now a reality and functions perfectly.

Source: YouTube/ KRQE

The village of tiny homes was built on an unused lot. Those sharing the homes have their ow bed, a fully-stocked kitchen, and a bathroom.

The project started back in 2016, after the voters at the council approved $2 million bond and was only able to be finished in February of this year all thanks to the help of the community. It took that much time because the team working on the project faced a number of challenges, and that included finding a location. Luckily, the Albuquerque Indian Center agreed to lease their land.

Source: YouTube/ KRQE

“I hope that people see the story and they see what’s happening and they’re like, ‘You know what, we could support something like this in our community,’” Debbie says.

Those renting the homes are only supposed to pay $30 per month and the idea isn’t for them to stick around for long. Debbie believes that providing the homeless with a place to stay and shower would increase their chances of finding a job and getting back on track.

Prince Harry returns to the States “totally thorn” with emotions after meeting his family at Prince Philip’s funeral

Meeting his family, which he criticized in front of 49.1 million people who have seen his and Meghan’s interview with Oprah, must have been hard for Harry.

Rumors are he was ignored by some of the royals, among which Princess Anne and her family, when he arrived in Britain for his grandfather’s funeral last week.

Meghan didn’t accompanied Harry because she was advised by her doctor not to travel, considering she’s around 7 months pregnant. She, however, made sure she was present through the wreath and the handwritten note that she sent. The wreath was reported to be made out of a number of different flowers, all of which had a special meaning. It included bear’s breeches, the national flower of Greece where Prince Philip was born, sea holly flower, which represented Philip’s long-term service in the Royal Marines, rosemary for remembrance, and plenty of other beautiful flowers.

However, as everyone gathered to pay their respects to the Duke, many watched the funeral to see if William and Harry would speak with one another.

After the ceremony, as they were leaving St. George’s Chapel, the brothers engaged in a conversation. Later on, they met with their father in hopes of trying to fix the broken relationship, but according to reports, Harry wasn’t happy with the unplanned meeting and felt “ambushed,” especially because Meghan wasn’t there, as reported by Radar Online.

Harry returned home to his wife and son a day prior to his grandma’s 95th birthday because he wanted to be by their side.

However, after the meeting with the royals, it was reported by royal expert Paul Burrell, who worked as a butler for late Princess Diana for over 10 years and has known Harry since he was still just a child, that the Duke of Sussex feels thorn.

“His heart is on two different sides of the Atlantic now. Meghan will be faced with that dilemma – the bombshell that Harry now feels split in two,” Burrel told Closer.

“Seeing his beloved granny, the Queen, and to face his father and brother would not be easy. Even submerging himself back into the House of Windsor and the buildings that hold so many memories.”

While in Britain, Harry stayed at the Frogmore Cottage, the place where he and Meghan lived before stepping down from their royal duties and leaving UK. So, it is understandable that he was surrounded with a lot of memories that he decided to simply leave behind more than a year ago.

Speaking of Meghan, Butler added, “She will have to figure out what their next steps will be. Those two – from different worlds – are going to have to work it out to align themselves.”

William and Harry will meet again for the statue of late mother Princess Diana which will be unveiled on her birthday.

Wife finds out that husband is having an affair, but her brilliant revenge makes him regret everything.

Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned is what they say and what goes around comes around.

Turns out this girl’s hubby didn’t get the karma memo.

The below story was posted on Reddit and tells about a husband who gets caught cheating by his wife. She then sends him an unsuspecting letter that really shocks him! If you are looking to be cheered up today then this story is a good read to put you in a good mood!

To my beloved husband,

Before you return from your overseas trip I just want to let you know about the small accident I had with the pick up truck when I turned into the driveway. Fortunately not too bad and I really didn’t get hurt, so please don’t worry too much about me.

I was coming home from Walmart, and when I turned into the driveway I accidentally pushed down on the accelerator instead of the brake. The garage door is slightly bent but the pick up fortunately came to a halt when it bumped into your car.

I am really sorry, but I know with your kind-hearted personality you will forgive me. You know how much I love you and care for you, my sweetheart. I am enclosing a picture for you.

I cannot wait to hold you in my arms again.

Your loving wife.

P.S . Your girlfriend called for you.”

It’s pretty safe to say that the husband was not too upset about his vehicle after he read the last line. I would imagine he would have looked something like the below picture.

Queen Elizabeth changed king George V’s rule and made it possible for William’s youngest child to receive an HRH title

On April 23, the third child of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, Louis Arthur Charles, turned three.

To honor the birthday of the youngest child of Prince William and Kate Middleton, who was born on St George’s Day, the patron saint of England, Kate snapped and shared an incredibly cute photo of Louis riding his bike and getting ready for his first day of nursery school.

Louis got his name after late Prince Philip’s uncle and Prince Charles’ mentor Lord Louis Mountbatten, who was killed in an IRA bombing in 1979.

Although he is fifth in the line of succession to the British throne, Louis is a prince. It was the Queen herself who intervened overwrite king George V’s rule which said that royals too far down the line of succession were no longer entitled to a title. According to Express, it was the Queen’s decision to name William’s firstborn, George, a prince and extend the change to all of Kate and William’s children.

Were it not for Queen Elizabeth, Prince Louis would have been given the honorary title Master Louis Cambridge or Master Louis Windsor.

This rule, however, does not apply for Harry’s children, thus Archie isn’t declared a prince. This was something that obviously bothered the Duke and Duchess of Sussex who accused the royals of not wanting to give their son a title.

Speaking to Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle said: “They didn’t want him to be a prince… which would be different from protocol, and that he wasn’t going to receive security.

“We have in tandem the conversation of, ‘He won’t be given security. He’s not going to be given a title.’ And also concerns and conversations about how dark his skin might be when he’s born,” she added.

Archie, however, will become eligible for an HRH title once his grandfather, Prince Charles, accedes the throne.

When he was born, Archie was entitled to the courtesy title Earl of Dumbarton, which his parents refused.

Currently, Meghan and Harry are expecting their second child, a daughter. Many wondered if Harry, who is extremely devoted to keeping his late mother’s memory alive, will name his baby girl Diana. The Sussexes, however, were reported to have said that the name Diana would mean too much pressure on their daughter, as per a Page Six source. “They are highly unlikely to call their daughter Diana. Their biggest concern is that it would make her a bigger target for the media, and considerably increase public interest in the child’s life.”

After 18 miscarriages over 16 years woman gives birth at 48 years old

Louise Warneford from Swindon, England wanted to be a mother for as long as she could remember. So when she met her loving husband Mark in 1999, she knew they would make the perfect family. 

They both wanted to be parents really badly, but things didn’t go as planned for this couple. Throughout the 16 years of marriage, Louis had 18 miscarriages. Many would think that after such ordeal one would stop trying, but Louis never thought of giving up on her dream of someone calling her ‘mommy.’ 

Her determination finally paid off after she gave birth to a healthy baby boy at 48 years old. Sweet William made all the struggle and the huge amount of money spent on IFV worth it. 

The treatments were pretty expensive because Mark had undergone a vasectomy during his previous relationship. Louis, however, didn’t have troubles getting pregnant, but she couldn’t carry the babies past 14 weeks into the pregnancy. 

“Each time I got my hopes up and thought that ‘this was it’ and I was going to have the perfect family I’d always wanted – I couldn’t stop crying every time I miscarried,” Louise shared with the Daily Mail.

“We decided to try IVF but despite falling pregnant a number of times, we always lost the baby.”

After so many failed pregnancies, the doctors finally discovered the reason why Louis was losing her babies. As it turned out, her own cells were killing the embryos. But now as they tracked down the problem, they could work on finding the solution. 

Thankfully, this last time, the pregnancy was a healthy one and it resulted in Louis giving birth to her bundle of joy. 

She was over the moon. After that much time, she could finally embrace ‘her whole world’ in her arms. 

“When the surgeon handed him to me, I just couldn’t believe it, I couldn’t believe my luck, I still can’t he was beautiful, I felt as if I’d won the lottery,” she told 5 News.

She knows how devastating it can be to be trying to have a child for so many years, but she never lost hope and she wants her story to serve as an inspiration for other couples who are facing the same problem.

We congratulate the happy parents on the new addition to their family!  

Batman walks 3-year-old bullied girl to nursery after teachers don’t address the problem

We all know that bullying can negatively affect the victims, sometimes even for life. The sad reality is that not much is done for it to be put to an end at the educational institutions around the country, where it probably takes place more often than at any other place.

Sadly, bullying is also present in nurseries and kindergartens, among children aged 3 and 4, and even younger.

Erica Calculli from Florida noticed how her 3-year-old daughter was getting more and more nervous with each passing day. The bubbly and smiling girl started losing her spark and that worried Erica a great deal. Shortly after sweet Lydia’s behavior changed, Erica learned the horrifying reason behind the girl’s unhappiness.

Namely, Lydia came come with bruises on her face on several occasions, and the girl confessed she was bullied at the nursery school. One day, she also had a bruised eye. “She told me that “a bunch of girls and one boy hit her and a girl threw a shoe at her eye,” Erica told local news station WTSP.

Erica spoke to Lydia’s teachers, but nothing seemed to change. That is when someone special stepped in, someone known as The Dark Knight in the neighborhood. After Erica wrote about her daughter’s problem on the social media, Jack Asbury responded. He knew Erica from before and was more than lucky to dress his Batman costume and take Lydia to school to see if anything will change.

Jack works as an EMT and sometimes wears his Batman costume to cheer up the children from the community.

I made a new friend today. This is Lydia. I was heart broken when I saw her mothers post she was being bullied in…

Posted by The Batman Of Spring Hill on Wednesday, 28 August 2019

When Lydia’s peers saw her entering the nursery walked by Batman, they were both shocked and stunned. He told the kids that Lydia was his best friend and that he would come and visit her again.

“Lydia got a surprise visit at school from The Batman of Spring Hill,” Erica wrote on Facebook. “I really hope she’s more comfortable at school now, and I can’t wait to talk to her when she gets home.”

Luckily, the visit was just the right thing to do as the rest of the kids accepted her and even started calling her their best friend.

Teen helps pay for stranger’s groceries after hearing the cashier telling the elderly man to return some of the products back

We often speak of the importance of offering kindness and a helping hand to those in need, but how many of us are truly willing to step in for someone who is less fortunate or found themselves in trouble?

Teo Jordan is an 18-year-old high school senior who taught us a lesson about humanity and about kindness. This young man doesn’t have a lot of money. In fact, he’s working at his local Kroger grocery store in order to be able to help his family during these tough times for the humanity when the pandemic closed a huge number of work places and left millions jobless and even homeless. He’s also saving for a car.

However, being in a difficult situation himself didn’t prevent him from doing good for a complete stranger who was shopping at the grocery store where he works.

Namely, while on the job, Teo noticed that one of the customers was short of money and couldn’t pay for the products he picked. The cashier told him that he needed to return some of the items back. It was then that Teo decided to give the man the $35 dollars he was missing.

“I just seen I wanted to help the guy. I saw that he didn’t have the money for all the groceries that he wanted. The cashier told him he would have to put some of the thing back so I just thought in my head I would give him this $35 so he could have all the food that he wants,” the young man told WLWT.

It was a beautiful act of kindness that didn’t go unnoticed.

Posted by Teo Jordan on Tuesday, 18 August 2020

Teo’s colleagues praised his action and shared the uplifting story around. When Teo’s mom heard what her son did, she said: “I am proud of Teo. I’m overwhelmed with joy. You try to instill in your kids right and wrong but you don’t know if they comprehend, so yes I’m very proud,” as per WLWT.

Many of the people who stumbled upon the story of kindness and hope offered to give Teo some money for the car he was planning on buying and pay forward to him for his good deed.

His mom set up a GoFundMe page which raised $3,345.

However, that wasn’t all. Teo’s school, Covington Independent Public Schools, posted on their Facebook page that the Kentucky Higher Education Assistance Authority gifted Teo $1,000 to help him with his university expenses.

We are happy the story of Teo’s deed spread around because it serves as a sparkle of positivity during these hard times we are all experiencing.

Meghan Markle and son Archie spoke to the Queen before Prince Philip’s funeral

Although heavily pregnant Meghan Markle wasn’t able to attend the funeral of Prince Philip because she was advised by her physician not to travel and watched the ceremony on television, she still found a way to say her goodbye to the great man she had an awesome relationship with. Meghan sent a wreath and a handwritten note and showed her tribute and respect to The Duke of Edinburgh.

The funeral ceremony itself wasn’t only about honoring the late Duke, as all eyes were also on his grandsons, Harry and William, whose relationship started breaking up following the Megxit when The Sussexes stepped down from their royal duties and moved to the State. The two brothers seemed to get even more estranged after the bombshell interview.

A lot has been revealed and the couple spoke of their relationship with the royal family. Harry said he believed his brother and father were trapped in the system, while Meghan spoke of her suicidal thoughts and even brought up the question of racism within the royals.

It has been revealed by a number of outlets and magazines that Harry met with his father and brother on two separate occasions while in Britain, but not much has been fixed regarding their relationship.

Harry even missed his grandma’s 95th birthday as he decided to return home to Meghan and Archie a day prior to the “scaled-down” celebration.

However, People reported that Meghan reached to the Queen and she and Archie spoke to her before the funeral. She also called Harry every day and “insisted to him every day though that they are fine. She hasn’t wanted him to worry,” but he still wanted to get back to California as soon as possible. “Meghan and Archie also spoke with the Queen earlier this week,” the source was reported to have said.

Back in February, Prince Harry told comedian James Corden that his grandparents were using Zoom to communicate with the Sussexes. “They’ve seen Archie running around,” Harry revealed.

William and Harry will meet again in July in order to approve the final design of their late mother’s statue which will be placed in the Sunken Garden, to the east of Kensington Palace. Maybe then, they will find a way to reconcile.

Mom posts pics of her nails on Facebook – gets message that could save her life

Nowadays, in the era of the social networking sites, we are connected as never before. 

Having lots of virtual friends, we sometimes tend to share interesting things of our life with them such as anecdotes, photos of places we visit, what we eat, and how we have fun. Oftentimes, we also use these sites to share our thoughts and even ask for help. 

A 53-year-old mom named Jean Williams Taylor thought her curved nails looked funny so she decided to post some photos of them online. Little did she know that those photos could save her life. 

Jean was never bothered by the way her nails curved because she was certain it was due to genetics. But then, someone posted a comment under her photo saying that she should visit a doctor as her nails were a sign that something serious was happening to her lungs. 

After she read the comment she realized that her mom who died of lung cancer had her nails curved as well, but she had no idea those two things were related. 

Feeling a bit scared from what she read, Jenny visited the hospital where she was told that her nails condition was knows as “finger clubbing,” “digital clubbing,” or “Hippocratic nails” and in many cases it showed issues with the heart or the lungs. 

After doctors ran a number of tests, they discovered that Jean had two tumors the size of golf balls in her lungs.

Although she was concerned by the news, she was also lucky she found about it just in time. If she hadn’t shared the photos online, she would have continued believing it was normal to have such nails and she would have never visited the hospital. 

Now she’s sharing her story to serve as a warning for others. 

“That feels great,” Jean said. “I have actually got a lot of individuals sending me shares of their nails, however I’m no specialist I have actually just been detected less than 2 days.”

Our body always finds a way to send us a message about a problem we have and the nails are in many cases an indicator. 

Whenever you feel something is different regarding your body, always consult a doctor.

Please share this story with your friends. Who knows, you may save someone’s life. 

Young man helps grandma at the airport – She has no idea he’s a famous NFL player

Nancee Lingg, 82, found herself exhausted from the long flight after she landed at the Appleton International Airport. As no one was around to help her with her heavy bags, a young man who spotted Nancee offered to lend her a helping hand which she was more than happy to accept.

As the kind stranger carried Nancees luggage out of the plane, a flight attendant told them that someone would be waiting for her with a wheelchair. However, that didn’t happen and both Nancee and the young man could see that all of the wheelchairs were folded up. Luckily, the kind stranger was again more than happy to help the elderly lady. He grabbed a wheelchair and offered to push her. Nancee was so glad she wasn’t left all by herself.

However, she had no idea who the man helping her really was until she met with her granddaughter Teresa Lingg Knuth who recognized the kind stranger as NFL running back Aaron Jones.

His act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed. A woman at the airport that goes by the name Momica on Twitter snapped a photo of the Packers player and shared it with the caption: “Just watched Packers Aaron Jones push a random lady through the Appleton airport because there was no there to push her. GO PACK GO”

Source: Twitter/Teresa Linng Kuuth

Fans went crazy over the player’s action, and Teresa herself commented with a photo of him and Nancee writing it was her grandma he helped.

The Packers coach Mike McCarthy also responded to the tweet with a statement. “I’ll just say about Aaron Jones and our players: I’m thankful that everybody else is getting to see what I get to see pretty much every day. I mean, this is a tremendous locker room. We’ve been very fortunate and blessed with the caliber of character that we have in our locker room,” he wrote.

On Aaron’s social media accounts we can see plenty of photos of him with fans and it looks like he truly is a very grounded man despite being a famous name in the world of sport.

Aaron is the perfect example that no matter who we are, we should never lose the human side of us and be there for people whenever they need help. Way to go Aaron.
