Fellow veterans help 94-year-old veteran move back in the house he built with his late wife

By

-

When a World War II veteran named Alfred Guerra found himself without a roof over his head because the home he used to share with his late wife, Emma, became a dangerous place to be in, the whole community stepped in and that showed just how much these people who fought for our country are appreciated by everyone.

Because of the extremely poor living conditions in the house, Guerra was forced to move in with his daughter Maria. According to her, he didn’t want to live his home because of all the memories it evoked.

Knowing just how much his house meant to her father, Maria decided to ask for help from the community, and in a matter of days, a huge number of people and organizations stepped in. Among them were the members of the local Military Order of the Purple Heart who were happy to help a veteran who was awarded a Purple Heart as well as a Bronze Star for the bravery he showed.

The Broken Warriors’ Angels, a non-profit organization, the VFW Post 76, the city’s Department of Human Services, and the Department of Military Affairs also joined in the project of reparing Guerra’s home.

Fred Alvarado, the CEO of Broken Warriors Angels, told KSAT-News: “It’s veterans helping veterans. That’s all there is to it.”

Besides these organizations, companies like SRS Raise the Roof Foundation also stepped in.

Because of the pandemic, the repair process took a bit longer than expected, but everyone assumes it won’t take more than a month before Guerra is able to get back to his home again and take care of his garden and his roses.

“It’s a wonderful thing. It’s a mission of mercy,” Maria said and thankned everyone involved in the process, including all the veterans who served in Iraq, Vietnam, and Afghanistan.

Little girl is “dancing like nobody’s watching” after her mom tells her not to run at the store

Little children throwing tantrums in public is a sight that we witness too often nowadays. I guess that when we were kids ourselves, we were more obedient and somewhat more afraid of our parents than children are nowadays. The reason why is that most parents spoil their little ones rotten and fulfill their every wish, so the youngsters are simply used to getting things whenever they want that.

Some children, however, don’t cry and scream when they want things to be done their way, but find ways of playing around with their moms and dads. Well, just like this cutie pie in the video below.

Zoe and her mom are at the store when she starts running. Her mom then shouts, “No running, no running,” and it takes around 30 seconds for Zoe to come up with a strategy. So, instead of running, she decides to dance as she walks.

The video of Zoe has been seen over 6 million times and people say things like: “What a great listener! No tantrums or running faster…she walked while dancing and looked like she was just happy.”

This little girl thought out of the box and showed incredible intelligence. And yes, she made us all laugh.

Chef Millie Peartree was forced to shut her restaurant down, but she now feeds thousands of children

This Chinese proverb says, “When the winds of change blow, some people build walls and others build windmills.” In life, we should all do our best to be those who embrace the change and try to make the best out of it, no matter how scary it looks at first.

One renowned chef is an example that we should never give up on our dreams, even during this pandemic that changed our lives completely.

Chef Millie Peartree had been running her own restaurant in Bronx until 2019, but someone messed with her gas lines and she was forced to close the place indefinitely.

Having to find a way out, she turned to the catering business, but then the pandemic struck and she was once again left jobless. However, Chef Millie was then contacted by the InStyle magazine and was offered to prepare meals for USPS workers and hospital staff on behalf of the magazine. She was more than happy to accept this offer, and soon after, she prepared 6,000 meals.

Once this project was over, this incredible woman decided to go on with it, but his time, her focus was on the children of Bronx.

Speaking to Today, she said: “I would pivot my efforts toward feeding children because I knew that some of the city’s food distribution programs had been canceled or reduced due to the pandemic. I created Full Heart Full Bellies to provide prepared meals for children in grades K through 12, from July 6 to Aug. 28, in the Bronx, which is the poorest of the five boroughs.”

Each week, Chef Millie’s organization prepares 1,800 nutritionally balanced meals. She’s doing all this with the help of huge companies such as Audi, Coca-Cola, Amazon, Barilla, and local business and non-profit organizations. Through the GoFundMe she started, Chef Millie was able to raise over $60,000.

Her project is still ongoing and she’s urging others to help feed the hungry and vulnerable as well because that’s the only way to cope with the pandemic. “When we talk about social justice, we often get hung up on the hashtag instead of the actual work. You may not march, but maybe you can feed a protester. After the money is donated, what can we do in the community to change things?” she says.

Health workers stuck in a snowstorm administer COVID-19 vaccines to other drivers so they won’t go to waste

Absolutely every single person on the planet has been affected by the coronavirus pandemic one way or another. But we all have to agree that those on the front line, the doctors and the nurses, are the backbone of the health systems and are in most risk of contracting the deadly virus. Yet, they are on the job every single day and work long hours and often times double shifts in order to provide help to each and every patient out there.

The staff and the volunteers at Josephine County Public Health are just some of the workers who risk it all for the safety of us all. A few days back, a group of them headed from Illinois Valley High School, around 160 miles south of Eugene, a city in Oregon, to another clinic in Grants Pass to administer vaccines.

However, the weather was pretty bad and it was snowing heavily, so they found themselves stranded on the Highway 199.

Posted by Josephine County Public Health on Tuesday, 26 January 2021

The vaccines could only be kept for a couple of hours before they could no longer be used. Not wanting for the six leftover Moderna doses to expire, Michael Weber, Josephine County’s public health director, told The Washington Post: “We knew the vaccine would not make it back to Grants Pass. In all likelihood, it was going to expire. I decided to start going door-to-door, car-to-car, offering the vaccine.”

There was also an ambulance on standby for safety.

Posted by Josephine County Public Health on Tuesday, 26 January 2021

In no time, the health workers found six people who were more than happy to finally get the vaccine. Speaking to The New York Times, Weber said: “We had one individual who was so happy, he took his shirt off and jumped out of the car,” and described this operation as one of the coolest he has ever taken part in.

Posted by Josephine County Public Health on Tuesday, 26 January 2021

Christi Siedlecki, one of the twenty health workers spoke to NBC News and said she felt proud seeing her team did all they could in order for the vaccines not to be wasted. “It is important for people to know how dedicated health professionals are to getting every single dose into people. My community should be so proud. I am,” she said.

We are very proud of these people who are taking care of our well-being as well. If it wasn’t for their dedication and hard work, the situation with the pandemic could be much worse than it is already. Doctors and nurses from all around the world, you are our heroes.

Everyone on the planet should see this one minute animal video

Nothing speaks love and compassion louder than unlike animal friendships that light our days like sunshine rays on cloudy days.

The most watched ad of all time featuring different species sharing happy moments together reminds us of the beauties of life. We don’t have to be same in order to respect each other.

The Android ad spreads the message that says, “Be Together, Not The Same” through series of images between animals of different kinds that found friends in one another. So if you’ve never seen a dog and a dolphin swimming together, or a bear and tiger nuzzling then this is your chance.

We have to agree that Android did awesome job with their ad and really stood out. They showed us the core of our existence and inspired us to share love with everyone around us putting aside the differences in our religious beliefs, our skin color, or our social status.

“Friends Furever” will make your day as it did to the millions of people who got to see it.

This is definitely a must see. Get ready for your hearts to be melted.

Oscar winning actress Cloris Leachman best known for her roles as the self-absorbed and slightly neurotic neighbor Phyllis in The Mary Tyler Moore Show and the embittered small-town housewife in the film The Last Picture Show died of natural causes on 27 January of this year.

Leachman’s career was rich and spanned more than seven decades. She was a versatile actress who showed excellence in both comedy and drama, although comedy seemed to be her thing. In one occasion, during an interview with ET in 1982, she said: “I adore comedy. I like to do it over and over again until I just get sick of it. If something is funny, oh do it again. Part of it is common experience. I have experienced everything that any woman could have experienced. There is nothing you can name that I have not experienced, that I can think of.”

Leachman received a number of awards during the years, including an Academy Award for best-supporting actress in 1971 and eight Emmys.

According to a statement released by her publicist Juliet Green, the actress died at her home in Encinitas, California. Green wrote: “It’s been my privilege to work with Cloris Leachman, one of the most fearless actresses of our time. There was no one like Cloris. With a single look she had the ability to break your heart or make you laugh ’till the tears ran down your face. You never knew what Cloris was going to say or do and that unpredictable quality was part of her unparalleled magic.”

“She loved her children and her grandchildren ferociously,” the statement went on to say. “A lifelong vegetarian, she was a passionate advocate for animal rights. The family requests that any donations in her name be made to PETA or Last Chance for Animals.”

Leachman had five children, four sons and daughter. Her son Brian died in 1986 from a suspected accidental overdose of ulcer medication.

Rest in peace to a true legend.

Take a tour of one of the most unique cottages which seems to be taken out of a fairy tale

We are about to show you a cottage resembling one from a fairy-tale, placed on the shoreline of the picturesque Vancouver Island. An innovative masterpiece you didn’t believe exist.

“The Winckler” cottage, named by its owner, Bruce Winckler, or the “Hansel and Gretel Cottage,” as this man’s friends want to call it, is the home everyone would ask for. It’s tiny and spacious at the same time and built with locally-sourced as well as hand-crafted materials.

Source: YouTube Screenshot – Living Big In A Tiny House

The company behind the creation of this one-of-a-kind home is the Lindcroft Custom Dwellings owned by Daniel Huscroft and Tim Lindberg. Speaking of this captivating project. Huscroft said: “The inspiration came from the idea of building a whimsical cottage by the sea and capturing elements of fairy tale and storybook designs to complement the natural surroundings.”

The interior of this “once upon a time” 500-square-foot home is in fact contemporary. It has stainless steel appliances and a glass shower, as well as a lofted bedroom. But despite this, it still offers a rustic vibe and an incredible view.

I don’t know about you, but I would die to spend a night in this cottage.

Although it looks tiny on the outside, the cottage offers a lot of space for storage. The centerpiece of the living room is a huge stone fireplace which makes the place even cozier.

Needless to say, people fell in love with this home. “I love the marriage between the whimsical nature of the exterior with the contemporary characteristics of the interior. It’s wonderful. A functional dream come true. I don’t need the interior to look like a fairy tale. Probably my favorite yet,” one person wrote.

7-year-old boy runs back inside a burning home to save his baby sister

Not all heroes wear capes, and sometimes, they come in the form of a 7-year old who shows more bravery than most adult people.

That night on December 9th of 2020 was just an ordinary one for a family of five residing in New Tazewell, Tennessee. Mom and dad Nicole and Chris Davidson put their three kids to bed and nothing spoke trouble as they headed to their bedroom themselves.

Deep into the night, Nicole was suddenly woken up by the smell of smoke. In the next moment, she realized the house was on fire. The flames started spreading really quickly and she and her husband managed to get two of the kids out, while the youngest one, 22-month-old Erin, was still trapped in her room.

“The smoke and fire was so thick there was no way I could get to her,” Chris Davidson said, according to CNN.

“I thought I couldn’t do it, but then I said, ‘I got her, dad,'” the boy says. “I was scared, but I didn’t want my sister to die.” https://t.co/4MCXvCHqDR

— CNN (@CNN) December 27, 2020

But then, as they thought Erin wouldn’t be able to get out of the burning place, her 7-year-old brother Eli stepped in and saved the day by saving her life. It was a tense situation that required a lot of courage.

“We went outside to get to her from the window, but there was nothing for me to stand on to reach up there,” Chris explained. “So I picked up Eli, who went through the window and was able to grab her from her crib.”

At the time the firefighters arrived, the house was no longer there, the flames caught up everything, but at least no one from the family members suffered any serious injuries. They all made it out alive.

Speaking to CNN, the hero of the day, Eli, said, “I thought I couldn’t do it, but then I said, ‘I got her, dad’. I was scared, but I didn’t want my sister to die.”

Nicole and Chris are former firefighters themselves. They have fostered 34 children throughout the years, including Eli, and the two others that were in the house that night are their adopted children.

“We lost everything that we have ever had,” Chris said.“Our entire lives were in that home. Our three cars were also damaged in the fire. It’s devastating. We have nothing. You have never been as humble as you are when you don’t even have your own underwear to wear.”

A GoFundMe page was set up for the Davidsons and so far, over $350,000 have been raised.

Beyond cute conversation between a baby girl and her great-grandmother is melting hearts

By

A lot has been said of the positive impact and influence grandparents have on their grandchildren. Those who don’t get to grow up around a grandma or a grandpa miss a lot in their life, because the love and the care the elderly are willing to provide is unique and unconditional, and unlike any other form of affection one will get during their lifetime.

Our grandparents are our best friends, and when the moms and dads say no to something, these special human beings are there to spoil the little ones rotten. However, it’s not just the kids who benefit from their relationship with their grandparents, but the elderly as well. It has been scientifically proven that being around their grandchildren, the lifespan of the grandparents increases, as well as their level of happiness.

The video below shows an incredibly cute interaction between a baby and her great-grandmother. We all know that when they are very little, babies only communicate using their hands and some baby language that no one understands. That, however, doesn’t stop this lady from answering back to the chatty little girl.

Seeing them talk to one another back and forth melts our hearts. These two really have a very special connection. Check them out below.

Woman boasts about her son bullying an autistic classmate, unaware colleague’s son has autism

By

Our children are the future of our country and hold all our hopes for a better nation.

They see us grown-ups as their role models and tend to replicate our beliefs and behaviors, so if we don’t give them anything worth copying than our expectations that things will change for the better shouldn’t be high.

When we see young kids and teens bullying and making fun of those that are different, we assume their parents didn’t teach them right from wrong, and although that’s not always the case, many times it turns out we were, in fact, right.

If you mock people with disabilities yourself, your kid will do that with their friends and classmates too, and one very rude mom is the perfect example of that.

Kate Swenson shares a story that made us all thinking. Recently, one of her co-workers was bragging in front of the rest of the staff how her brilliantly intelligent son was mocking a fellow student who had autism.

Believe it or not, this mother found her son’s behavior amusing. Kate, whose son is autistic as well, couldn’t believe what she was hearing.

“My son makes fun of the autistic boy in his class, and it’s hilarious,” the mother said. And as though it wasn’t enough hurtful, she proceeded saying, “he even has the whole act down.” Apparently, her son loved imitating that boy and everything he made, like covering his ears, and twitching and flapping his hands.

Kate felt horrible, especially because she knew how it felt like to be bullied for having the condition. She could think of all the times her own son felt down because of rude boys like that of her co-worker’s.

The rest of the colleagues were all looking at the boasting mother in a pale manner. They made sure she knew what she was saying wasn’t funny at all.

Realizing she didn’t get the response she hoped for from those who listened, she tried to defend her son’s behavior saying, “Well, he doesn’t do it in front of him. Just at home for us.”

Everyone was still horrified by what they heard so this crazy mother tried to explain how it was funny in deed, they just had to see how greatly her son was imitating that boy. What’s most, she even started doing an impression of the autistic boy herself.

After she finally understood that everyone really resented her for what her son was doing and the way she presented it as something hilariously fun, the mother excused herself and left.

One of the other co-workers approached Kate and asked her if she was okay.

This highly unpleasant experience made Kate lose her faith that things would ever turn for the better for those who are considered different by the society. She couldn’t help but wonder whether other moms and their sons’ out there speak of her boy the way that awful co-worker spoke of her son’s autistic classmate.

“In that moment I realized how ugly the world can be,” Kate said.

It’s beyond sad that a mother is encouraging her own child to treat others with disrespect. Sadly, with parents like this, we know what our future holds; and that isn’t anything good.

Girl can’t afford to buy her teacher a present, so she comes up with a free gift that melts hearts

By

Teachers don’t get paid a lot of money and even struggle to make ends meet at times, and many of them only continue teaching because of the joy of seeing their kids succeed and become good people. Every smile, every thank you, and every learning obstacle surmounted is sometimes a proof that the best things in life are free.

A teacher that goes by the name Rachel Uretsky-Pratt from a Washington State elementary school is sharing a heartwarming story which took place somewhere around Christmas.

As she explained in her Facebook post, most of the students at the school are coming from families which don’t have large incomes and 100% of them are on free/reduced lunch. So, when she gives them tiny, usually hand-made gifts for Christmas, she doesn’t expect anything in return.

One of her students, who wanted to give her teacher a present badly but had no money to afford anything, came up with a lovely idea and melted Rachel’s heart. As we all know, the Marshmallows in Lucky Charms are favorite to every child, and this girl decided to keep all of them for her teacher as a Christmas gift.

“Rather than give me nothing, this student opened up her free breakfast cereal this morning, took the packaging of her spork, straw, and napkin, and finally took the time to take every marshmallow out of her cereal to put in a bag—for me,” Rachel wrote.

The carefully picked and wrapped Marshmallows meant the world to this teacher. It was all the girl had and she decided to give it to Rachel, and she knew that gestures like these are worth all the effort put inside the classroom.

“Be grateful for what you have, and what others give you. It all truly comes from the deepest parts of their hearts,” Rachel concluded.

Judge at a dog show approaches little girl with autism and asks her to show her stuffed pup

If this story doesn’t make your day and melt your heart, I don’t know what will.

The sweet little girl from the video below that went viral in a blink of an eye is a huge dog lover. In fact, she spends a great time watching dog shows and being around these incredibly friendly, loving, and loyal creatures. She doesn’t only enjoy their presence, but they help with her autism as well.

In fact, according to a number of research, dogs do help those children with autism by reducing their meltdowns and affecting their self-confidence in a positive way.

One day, her parents told her how they were actually taking her to the local dog show. Needless to say, the girl was over the moon. She put on her best dress, put a leash on her stuffed toy dog, and was ready for an experience of a lifetime.

Once there, one of the judges noticed her and approached closer. He asked her about her dog and told her that she keeps great care of it. In the next moment, this kind man told the girl that she can take the floor and walk her toy dog around. She was so excited that she didn’t need to hear that twice before she put on a show.

The audience realized what was going on and gave her huge applause.

After her dog’s “show,” the girl went to the judge again and he gave her a hug. Luckily, someone watching all this put the whole thing on tape and later shared it on YouTube.

People praise the judge and say that he’s the perfect example that not a lot is needed for one to be kind and changes someone’s day or even life. “This sensitivity and attitude are necessary for love!” someone wrote, and we can’t agree more.

Take a look at the video below ad make sure you share it with your friends.

A story of kindness: Neighbor offers ride for a boy forced to walk to and from school for 90 minutes each day

By

Gabe is a second grader who is forced to walk to school every single day. He and his mom live in Nebraska and according to a law imposed by this state, those students living not far from the school are not allowed to take the school bus.

Since Gabe’s mother, Kim, who is raising her son all by herself and is a part-time student can’t afford to buy a car, she and her boy spend 45 minutes walking to school, and additional 45 minutes getting back home. In fact, Kim walks this route twice, once in the morning, and then in the afternoon when Gabe’s lessons finish. This mom spends roughly three or more hours walking, and not only her, but her boy is tired all the time too.

With the tough winter around the corner, Kim knew she had to do something.

Unable to help her son by herself, she decided to share her story with a local news station and ask from the members of the community to lend them a helping hand.

Once the story spread around, an angel in the form of another mother stepped in. Becky Novotny’s son studies in the same school and the same class as Gabe, so it meant she could drive both the boys to and from school.

“I’m a stay-at-home mom. I’ve got three kids of my own that if I was in the situation, I think I’d want somebody there to help me.” Becky said.

Kim is grateful Becky is now taking care of her son’s problem with transportation. It means the world to her and Gabe. “I had nowhere else to turn. Like I said, I tried with the schools, I tried with administration, I tried particularly with the school itself and nothing was happening so I greatly appreciate your guys’ help,” she says.

You can take a look at the video below for the whole story. We are glad there are still people like Becky there. One mom for another, how lovely that is?

Some awesome news came from Indiana this week. Parents to be, Shaniqua Traywick and Carl Robertson, were headed to the hospital as Shaniqua was about to give birth to their first child. However, her contractions were getting more and more severe with each passing minute and they both realized that the baby couldn’t wait until they get to the hospital so Carl pulled the car over.

Indiana State Trooper Thomas Maymi was on duty on the Indiana Toll Road and noticed the car stopping on the side of the road. He then noticed this man running towards him and telling him that he’s wife is in labor. Trooper Thomas called an ambulance and headed towards Shaniqua. While they were waiting for the LaPorte County EMS to arrive, Thomas offered his help and stayed by the future parents’ side.

“Two minutes after paramedics were on scene, the baby was delivered. Upon delivery, mom and baby were transported to LaPorte Hospital,” the Indiana State Police said in a statement.

Luckily, everything went perfectly fine and the sweet baby boy was born healthy. To honor the kind trooper who was there when they needed it the most, they named their bundle of joy Malaki Thomas Robertson. Of course, he was happy to hear that. The proud mom said of that special day, “We were all troopers that day!”

City in Germany installs futuristic pods for homeless people to sleep in

When temperatures drop below the zero, I can’t help but think of all the homeless people out there, who are freezing and struggling to find a place to spend the night. Sadly, due to the coronavirus pandemic and the strict measures along with the health guidelines imposed by the governments, many shelters stopped working and homeless people faced closed doors. This made this category of citizens double victims of the pandemic.

But one city in Germany seems to have the solution. Namely, authorities at the city of Ulm are installing sleeping pods all around the place so that the homeless have a bed to sleep in. These pods are made out of wood and steel and are insulated and waterproof. At the same time, they include solar panels and communication services.

Heute wurden die beiden Ulmer Nester wieder aufgestellt – coronabedingt leider mit Verzögerung, aber gerade noch…

Posted by Ulmer Nest on Friday, 8 January 2021

One doesn’t need to check in anywhere in order to use them. The moment someone enters inside them, a local non profit gets an alert and representatives pay that person a visit in order to offer additional help as well as to clean the pod the following morning.

“With the Ulm Nests, we hope to offer a little bit of protection and security to those who most depend on it in Ulm,” the Facebook page dedicated to these futuristic homeless shelters wrote.

Posted by Ulmer Nest on Friday, 27 December 2019

These unique pods have also found their way out of Germany, as per KTVZ.com, around 100 of them were also installed in Portland, Oregon, in December of 2020.

“They provide safety, protection from the elements, and a good place to be on a short-term basis, but they’re not intended to replace a permanent housing situation,” the director of the city’s homeless services Marc Jolin said.

Two year old has the perfect response for cashier who questioned black doll

Little children are the most pure minded humans. They are born to love everyone, but as time passes by, they are taught certain things, among which, sadly, racism. Those parents who don’t let their little ones judge anyone or form an opinion about someone based on their skin color are the ones creating a future of love and a world we all want to be part of.

However, there will always be those people who distinguish between black and white humans, and that is something we should all fight against because we are all equal and we have always been.

Little Sophia, who was two at the time her story went viral, had successfully completed her potty training and her mother told her she could get any toy she wants from Target. Sophia was over the moon and quickly headed to the toy section, picking a doctor doll.

But, as she and her mom, Brandi Benner, headed to the counter, the employee at the register was quick to notice that the doll Sophia had in her arms was black. She assumed they were buying it as a gift, and when Brandi said it was for her daughter, the woman asked why Sophia didn’t choose a doll that resembled her more, alluding to the doll’s skin color.

As smart and as quick-thing as she is, Sophia replied: “She looks just like me. We both are doctors. I’m a pretty girl, and she’s a pretty girl. See her lovely hair?”

Needless to say, Brandi was very proud of her girl. She knew at that moment that she is raising Sophia right.

We really hope the employee realized she was showing racist behavior. As for Sophia, she did a great job teaching that woman a lesson to remember. Check out the whole story in the video below.

Video of a cute baby struggling to stay awake goes viral

Little kids are curious by nature. They are still discovering the world around them and don’t want to miss on anything. That is why many toddlers refuse to go to sleep at a proper time and give their mommies and daddies a hard time.

Well, they are completely right, because you know what they say, you can’t make memories sleeping, and kids seem to know this all too well.

A recent video of one of the most hilarious babies we’ve ever seen, baby Leo, captured the hearts of many. Well, it also brought up some questions about his safety and his parents faced criticism, but still, most of the people who have seen Leo doing his best not to fall asleep when he could barely keep his eyes open agree he’s the cutest ever.

The family is in the car and Leo is so sleepy that his tiny head falls down each time he closes his eyes. But that only lasts for a second because he opens his eyes widely and gives his parents a huge smile, and that goes on and on.

Leo’s brother Rion also has a viral video. According to their mom Lisa Jones, when she opened her YouTube channel back in 2006, she never thought her two boys would become an internet sensation.

This time, some people commented how they were worried for Leo’s safety as it seemed like he wasn’t properly secured in his car seat.

Lisa wrote back explaining: “NB: For anyone concerned about the positioning of the carseat and the untightened straps: Here in UK, car seats are permitted in the front seat as long as there are no airbags fitted or at least deactivated. This was our old car – Hyundai Accent. There were no airbags fitted on the passenger side. Before I started the engine, Leo’s straps were tightened securely and we made our journey in safety.”

The video of Leo fighting sleep is beyond adorable. Check it out below.

Neil Diamond changes lyrics to “Sweet Caroline” to promote steps against the coronavirus

One thing that the coronavirus pandemic, which seems will not come to an end any time soon, taught us is that we should never again take things for granted. Walking to the park with your friends, having coffee at the local coffee shop, or organizing a birthday party and inviting those you love the most. These are all things that we were forced to forget about for more than a whole year now, and we have to admit that things haven’t been easy.

Many lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet, and the number of those who died is huge already.

During these tough times for each and every one of us, we realize that the only way to overcome this situation is to stand together in the fight against it, respect the rules, and do our best to protect the most vulnerable among us.

Neil Diamond, one of our favorite musicians of all time, is helping people stay sane the best he can; by offering to us his incredible music. This time, however, he is promoting steps to prevent the spread of the coronavirus by changing the lyrics of his iconic song Sweet Caroline for a musical PSA about the virus.

Needless to say, people love it and praise his creativity. This version has been seen over 2 million times with people saying things like: “His voice has a way of putting my heart at ease. Tender and kind and sounds as beautiful as ever. Many memories with his music.”

Check the video below and share it with your friends if you loved it as much as we did.

Cops step in for an elderly woman with dementia and no food in her fridge

Officer Marquis Hines of the Montgomery County Sheriff’s Office in Houston and a fellow police officer got a call about a 92-year-old lady named Tina who had been spotted by the neighbors going up and down the street on the cold. They said how they sometimes let her in to warm herself up, but still, she needed help.

When they answered the call, they noticed how the woman’s place wasn’t very clean and the only thing in the fridge was a bottle of milk, some old lemonade and Cheerios. According to her, her two sons hadn’t visited in a while, and that made Officer Marquis share Ms. Tina’s story on the social media.

Got a welfare check call of a 92 yr old woman, who sometimes walks up and down the road and doesn’t know where she is….

“Without her knowing, we left and got her some groceries for her home. Big rotisserie chicken, some sandwich items to last a week or 2, some chunky soups, bunch of chips and meat, some waters. Knocked on her door and she was all smiles and in disbelief someone actually cared enough about her to even help.”

Officer Marquis even started a fundraiser to help this elderly lady with her needs and thanks to kindhearted people, the goal of $10,000 was quickly surpassed.

People praised these officers’ action and were quick to judge Ms. Tina’s sons who didn’t take care of their mother whose health was obviously not good.

However, once the story went viral, it turned out Ms. Tina wasn’t really telling the exact truth, of course not on purpose but because of her dementia and because she tends to forget things easily. Her sons contacted officer Marquis and explained how they do visit their mother very often, but she forgets that. She even forgets that she had a meal and eats multiple times a day.

Bruh my tan line is outrageously insane

Posted by Marquis Hines on Saturday, 15 August 2020

He then posted again and apologized to Ms. Tina’s sons for depicting them as bad people before learning the entire truth. “I want to apologize to the sons for making it seems as if they just left her on her own for good. NOT the case. I judged based on what Ms. Tina said who tends to forget very very quickly and the living condition of her home. Her sons are involved in her life like a son should be, but can’t dedicate every minute as they have their own children and jobs also. I respect the family a lot more after speaking with them and knowing that she will forget a meal she just ate a couple minutes ago.”

Little buddy said he on duty tonight if we need help.

Like I said in the beginning, change the world one smile at a time😎

Posted by Marquis Hines on Thursday, 31 October 2019

He even asked people to blame him for the misunderstanding.

“So I want to ask everyone to not be so harsh on them and speak badly of them because it was MY fault for judging without the full story.”

The money raised will still be used to help Ms. Tina and her family, especially for medications and doctor treatments.

Precious moment shared between a sister and her baby brother is caught on camera

The bond between brothers and sisters is a very strong one. They are very likely to fight and get into arguments while growing up, but despite the disagreements, they always know they have someone to rely on in their sibling.

Honestly, as much as brothers care for their sisters, I believe sisters do it twice as much, and that can be seen from the video below. Maybe it is like that because females show their feeling more often and aren’t afraid to admit how much they love someone, which is not always the case with men.

As the mom who shared the video below entered the room, she spotted her daughter playing with her little brother. The little boy is happy his sister is by his side and reaches for a hug. What a precious moment! We are glad it was caught on camera and we are sure these siblings named Gabby and Liam would appreciate this video when they grow older.

Many of the 8.6 million people who have seen this commented how they miss those days when they and their siblings were young.

Royal soldier welcomes brother with Down syndrome at Windsor Castle

Jack and Sam are two brothers who love one another unconditionally. However, after Jack became part of the British Army and later a guard at the Windsor Castle, he and Sam, who has Down syndrome, haven’t had a chance to see each other for almost a year. But it was all about to change when Jack invited Sam to check his workplace.

Sam knows just how important his younger brother’s job is and that he protects the Queen.

The moment Sam walks the castle’s ground, two members of the Guard, Lt. Bragger and Sgt. Baggot-Moore greet him. Seeing Sam going all smiles and getting excited puts a smile on their faces as well. At this point, everyone realizes this is going to be a reunion to remember.

As they approach the area where Jack is stationed, the guards explain to Sam that his brother won’t be able to speak to him until his shift is over.

A sentry will be on duty “at their post” for a two-hour period. Every 10 minutes, he comes to attention, slopes arms and does a march of 15 paces across the area of the post. Each sentry will do this four to five times before halting. He will then shoulder arms and stand at ease. Standing “easy” is not permitted whilst a sentry is at post. Orders for sentry duty read out before each 2 hour ‘tour of duty’, make it clear to each individual that: “you may not eat, sleep, smoke, stand easy, sit or lie down during your tour of duty.”

The moment Sam spots his brother wearing a uniform, his excitements grows bigger, but he’s aware that Jack can’t give him a hug at this point, so he stands right next to him looking all proud. Jack maintains his stock-still appearance and is patiently waiting for his duty for the day to be over.

Finally, after taking a tour around this magnificent place built in the 11th century, Sam sees Jack without his uniform and embraces him with arms wide open. This is both sweet and emotional at the same time.

Take a look at the reunion in the video below. Heartwarming, indeed!

7-year-old girl pleads for help in neighbor’s door cam after stumbling upon a wild bobcat

An unlike encounter with a bobcat left a 7-year-old girl from Arizona in complete fear, but she managed to get herself out of the scary situation thanks to her quick-thinking reaction.

It all started when young Taylor was riding her bike around the neighborhood. She usually doesn’t go away from her home, but this time it was a bit different. She got carried away and found herself far from her home. Then, out of the blue, she spotted a bobcat. Needless to say, she got really scared and didn’t know what to do. Riding back home wasn’t really an option because she was already too far. Luckily, she spotted a familiar house, that of her friend Lauren.

Taylor ran to the porch, leaving her bike behind and rang the bell. When no one answered, she started knocking and asking whether anyone was home.

Lauren’s mom, Nicole, has a ring doorbell system and can see who’s at the door through her phone which rings when someone’s pressing the doorbell. She answered the phone and heard a shaking voice. Taylor explained how there was a bobcat in the neighborhood and pleaded to enter the place. Nicole told her to stay calm and wait as they were a minute away from home. “Stay right there sweetie, as soon as I get you in my house safe, I will call your mom,” Lauren’s said.

Moments later, Lauren parked her car and Taylor felt relieved knowing she was safe. Luckily, this all ended without anyone being hurt.

It seems that bobcats aren’t dangerous to humans, unless they have the rabies virus. But despite that, a girl that young stumbling upon one has to be a blood-curdling experience.

Take a look at the video below. So far, it has been seen over 7 million times.

Viral video shows a man offering his pants to a homeless person

If you have roof over your head and food on your table, you are more fortunate than millions who struggle to make ends meet each and every day and to find a place to spend the night.

The thing is that most countries don’t do a lot for the homeless people who are sadly considered less valuable than those who have a home. But we somehow forget that the reasons why someone lives on the streets are various and many of these people are hardworking and even educated, but life was harsh to them.

A recent Tik Tok video which went viral in a matter of days shows how we should all treat the homeless and the vulnerable, and that’s by offering help.

A man named Daniel Richards and his wife Dominique were in for a late-night snack from McDonald’s when they spotted a man not wearing a pants and freezing at the parking lot. It was then that Daniel told Dominique he was going to take his off and give them to the man.

Speaking to the Inside Edition, Dominique said: “My husband just was like: I think I’m gonna go give him my pants. And I was like ‘you’re not gonna give him your pants, stop! We’ll just go home and we’ll go grab something and we’ll come back,’” but Daniel was afraid the man would no longer be there if they did what his wife suggested.

In the next moment, Daniel approached the man, whom those around said was always wearing exactly the same clothes, and offered to give him his. “I pointed to my pants and ‘if I were to give you my pants would you take them?’ and he said ‘absolutely I will take those pants.’ And I mean within a split second – I didn’t even hesitate – I just took off my pants,” Daniel told Inside Edition.

Thanks to the video Dominique shared, everyone witnessed Daniel’s good deed. It serves as an inspiration and as many praise Daniel, one person wrote, “Everyone [is] saying ‘we need more people like him’ and what we need is ‘to be like him.’”

Thank you Daniel, may God bless you.

Fred Alvarado, the CEO of Broken Warriors Angels, told KSAT-News: “It’s veterans helping veterans. That’s all there is to it.”

One renowned chef is an example that we should never give up on our dreams, even during this pandemic that changed our lives completely.

Once this project was over, this incredible woman decided to go on with it, but his time, her focus was on the children of Bronx.

However, the weather was pretty bad and it was snowing heavily, so they found themselves stranded on the Highway 199.

There was also an ambulance on standby for safety.

Leachman received a number of awards during the years, including an Academy Award for best-supporting actress in 1971 and eight Emmys.

Leachman had five children, four sons and daughter. Her son Brian died in 1986 from a suspected accidental overdose of ulcer medication.

I don’t know about you, but I would die to spend a night in this cottage.

Not all heroes wear capes, and sometimes, they come in the form of a 7-year old who shows more bravery than most adult people.

Nicole and Chris are former firefighters themselves. They have fostered 34 children throughout the years, including Eli, and the two others that were in the house that night are their adopted children.

Our children are the future of our country and hold all our hopes for a better nation.

Kate felt horrible, especially because she knew how it felt like to be bullied for having the condition. She could think of all the times her own son felt down because of rude boys like that of her co-worker’s.

After she finally understood that everyone really resented her for what her son was doing and the way she presented it as something hilariously fun, the mother excused herself and left.

A teacher that goes by the name Rachel Uretsky-Pratt from a Washington State elementary school is sharing a heartwarming story which took place somewhere around Christmas.

The reality series OutDaughtered, by the TLC Network, featuring this family’s life was first released back in 2016, with its seventh season premiering in June 2020 and still going on.

If this story doesn’t make your day and melt your heart, I don’t know what will.

The audience realized what was going on and gave her huge applause.

With the tough winter around the corner, Kim knew she had to do something.

These unique pods have also found their way out of Germany, as per KTVZ.com, around 100 of them were also installed in Portland, Oregon, in December of 2020.

Needless to say, Brandi was very proud of her girl. She knew at that moment that she is raising Sophia right.

This time, some people commented how they were worried for Leo’s safety as it seemed like he wasn’t properly secured in his car seat.

Many lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet, and the number of those who died is huge already.
