Girls brutally fat-shame man waiting for food in McDonald’s: Seconds later, karma turns on them with full force

How someone looks like and what they eat shouldn’t be anybody’s business. However, many times, people believe they have the right to judge others only because they consider themselves smarter and better looking. This type of behavior is inappropriate and rude, and affects person’s privacy.

The below video shows two girls waiting in line to order their meal at the local McDonald’s. At one moment they notice an overweight guy standing in front of them, and that’s when they start laughing and ridiculing his physical appearance. They have the courage to speak directly to his face, saying how he is “fat” and how he shouldn’t be eating at McDonald’s or anywhere else.

How would you react if you witness this type of bullying while at your favorite restaurant? Would you step in and stand for the victim?

This is actually a social experiment conducted by the YouTube channel Troll Station that will let us know how many people would be willing to defend someone who is publicly shamed for being obese.

I don’t know what your thoughts on this video will be, but I honestly believe that it took the onlookers a lot of time to interfere, while the girls won’t stop mocking the guy, constantly repeating he should leave the store without getting any food.

YouTube/one lonely Dude

Check the video and see the facial expressions and eventually the reactions of people when witnessing such a horrible scene.

At the end of the day, being obese is not always a person’s choice. We should always have in mind that each individual is going through tough times during their life that may affect the quality of their lifestyle. Or, being overweight can be a result of a hormonal dis-balance or other similar condition.

Would it kill us if we show a bit of empathy and compassion for those that don’t fit the “standards of beauty” we sometimes tend to follow? I guess not. But people can be cruel and emotionless. Luckily, there are always those who won’t put up with bullies like the two girls in the video, and that gives us hope that not everything is as bad as it looks.

Note: high use of profanity — watch with caution.

Stranger Helps Woman And Receives Surprising Payback

Life is full of surprises and many times when we act in a certain way we don’t really realize that what goes around comes around. The good thing is that this is true for good deeds as well.

This story is just another reminder that we should always lend a helping hand to those in need of kindness and a few words of compassion, because we may never know the impact we have on someone’s life.

Chris Wright was on his way home getting back from church when he and his family stumbled upon a lady staying in the middle of the road during a heavy rain. They didn’t stop, but continued driving. However, once they got home, Chris felt he made a mistake for not stepping in and told his wife:

“I have to go back. I have to help her.”

Carmen wasn’t at all surprised by her husband’s action.

“You know when you have an urge and a desire something to do good? He was raised that way. He’s kind and generous to everyone. He’d never picked up anybody before, but he felt compelled.”

He got in the car again and was determined to track the lady down. He prayed she was still there. Luckily, he could easily spot her walking in the rain. Apparently, she run out of gas and money and had no one to ask for help. Chris was more than happy to pay for the gas and give her some cash.

The woman who introduced herself as TunDe was beyond grateful for what this generous man did for her.

Life went on for Chris who now had worries on his own. His mother Judy was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease and needed an around the clock care.

Because of this, Chris hired some nurses that would assist his parents who weren’t able to do things by themselves.

One of the nurses, however, seemed to take extra special care of Judy. Carmen said:

“She cared for her in the most respectful way. She had the utmost respect for human life.”

This nurse and Judy became really close. One day, she even shared her life story with Chris’ mom telling her how she didn’t have it easy, until an event form 2014 completely turned her life for the better. Apparently, a man helped her one day and that gave her hope to continue her fight and become a nurse.

And as you are guessing already, that nurse was TunDe and the person who changed her life was Chris.

“The encounter that had blessed them both three years ago, came full-circle. We don’t believe in coincidence. We’re a family of faith.” Carmen said.

Chris simply couldn’t believe that a couple of bucks for gas and a lift could inspire someone to do such a drastic change. He was really happy for his acquaintance. But this is not how the story ends. Chris learned how TunDe wanted to continue her education but needed money for the tuition. He and his family were willing to help this loving lady again.

Sadly, Judy passed away, and that’s when Chris decided to ask his family and friends to do a kind deed and instead of bringing flowers at the funeral, to donate that money to the YouCaring Page they set up to help raise funds for the tuition.

To TunDe’s surprise, the family raised around $20,000. She couldn’t believe she was given that much money. These people were sent from God. They not only changed her life, but made it perfect and filled it with joy.

Screenshot via YouTube

After a short period of time, random people donated additional $14,000. That was enough for TunDe to purse her dream of becoming a professional nurse. Words couldn’t describe how grateful she was for everything Chris and his family did for her.

This girl’s reaction to the surprise is beyond adorable.

Don’t forget to help a person in need whenever possible, because people like Chris and their good deeds is what make this world go round.

Miracle: Baby survives despite knot in his umbilical cord

With the news about becoming parents comes a bunch of responsibilities even before the baby is born. The future mom and dad make sure they have everything ready for when the bundle of joy is welcomed into the world.

However, those nine months spent in expectation are at the same time the most exciting and the most nerve wracking period in the life of the parents-to-be. They can’t help but wonder whether everything is going to be fine with the baby while in the womb.

The thing is that whatever happens in the mom’s body during this period can affect the growth of the baby, so following doctor’s orders of what to eat, whether to exercise or not, and similar things, is of crucial importance in delivering a healthy baby.

However, we can never be 100% certain of what is going on with the baby until we have it in our hands, because if there is certain interruption in the fetus’ development, it can result in various problems or health issues.

Do we have the power to change this? Unfortunately, not always. So the only thing we should do during the pregnancy is mind our habits by keeping them healthy.

Sometimes, however, things can get a wrong turn. Unfortunately there are babies out there that are born with certain defects and diseases that can be a result of genetics or other factors such as a tied umbilical cord.

The umbilical cord is what connects the mother and the fetus. This cord helps the delivery of nutrients to the child. Many times doctors witness how the cord is wrapped around the baby’s neck, which is one of the reasons for a C-section deliveries. However, in the case of one newborn, the cord was tied in a knot and it left the doctors shocked.

Facebook/TheFacts

Right after the delivery took place and the doctors congratulated the parents on their child, they noticed the unusual umbilical cord.

They said how it was a real miracle for the baby to be born perfectly healthy knowing there was a knot that could easily prevent for it to be properly fed while in the womb.

Liftable

“Hurry up dad, take a picture your baby is a miracle,” the doctor said to the dad.

We are glad this family’s story got a happy ending and we wish this little angel has the perfect life ahead of him.

97-year-old veteran eats at Arby’s at the same time every day, the staff decide to give him something extra with his meal

The way we treat veterans and seniors speaks a lot about us as a society. They have done a lot for the community and the country in general during their life and service and being kind to them is the least we can do to make them feel important and cared for.

The staff at the Arby’s know how to make their guests feel like home by being polite and making sure everyone is served in a timely manner. However, they all confess they have a favorite visitor. The 97-year-old Doug is a World War II veteran who lives all by himself and spending time at Arby’s is the only social activity he has.

Facebook/Daniel Marinho Moloney

When they see him coming, the employees make sure they open the door for him and then escort him to his table. And in case he can’t make it to the place, they deliver his lunch to his retirement facility.

One day, the employees decided on surprising their most loyal customer with a $200 worth of Arby’s gift card. A man named Daniel Moloney was visiting Arby’s the moment the staff handed the gift to the veteran and was stunned by their act of kindness. He understood how they do it simply because they all love old Doug.

The veteran was shocked by the surprise as well and couldn’t thank all the employees and manager Christina Gamage enough. They definitely made his day and reminded him how special he was to each and every one of them.

“We love that you come in and see us … We really enjoy you here and we always want you to come back.”

Doug just said, “You got to be kidding me?” and started chuckling.

“Thank you. I never know if I’ll be here the next day, but thank you so much for this.”

Christina said everyone at the restaurant looks forward to Doug visiting them. They go out of their way to make him feel right at home.

“He’s gone through a lot being a veteran, coming in, being in a retirement home, but he doesn’t have family.”

Twitter/Fox 10 Phoenix

Daniel, the guest who was caught there during this heartwarming scene snapped a photo of himself and Doug and shared the whole thing on Facebook, saying:

“This is one of those moments that make you happy to be alive. There are so many good people in the world. These employees selflessly put in their own money, so a elderly (sic) man could come in and enjoy dinner on what he never knew could be his last.”

Manager Christina Gamage told Fox 10 that Doug’s lovely reaction to the surprise made them go one step further and offer him free meal for life. The story now went viral and caught the attention of other generous people among which a local optometrist who offered the veteran free eye care.

This story is a perfect example of how we should care for the elderly. Because as they get old they are many times left all by themselves and a simple act of kindness can make the rest of their days more enjoyable.

Woman Surprised By Mom’s House Picture On Google Maps

Parents are those people who make sure we never get off the right track. They are our support, and as long as they are part of our life, we know we have someone to rely on whenever we feel the need.

That is why the loss of a parents is one of the most devastating things one can experience. When they are gone, we feel empty for a very long time, and coping with the grief is not easy.

However, we will always have the memories that will remind us of the beautiful moments we got to share with our loving moms and dads.

A woman from Florida who lost her mom has an unusual story to share.

Denise Underhill grew up in the small town of Tamworth in Staffordshire, England. However, after her beloved mother passed, she felt she had to change something in her life so she moved to the sunny state of Florida.

But being away from her home town didn’t stop her from thinking about that old house on Chaytor Road where she spent the best years of her life, together with her family that she dearly missed.

Recently, Denise felt really nostalgic for the good old days, so she grabbed her computer to look up for her mom’s house on Google Earth. But what she never though was that she will get a pleasant surprise that will deeply touch her heart.

Flickr/Elliott Brown

The house didn’t belong to the family any longer, so Denise knew it may not look the same as she remembers it, but then the photo of the place popped up on the screen it left Denise completely stunned.

“I got the BIGGEST surprise EVER! I just couldn’t believe it. At the foot of the driveway was my mother. She was watering the garden, just as she always did. I was absolutely astounded – it made my day.”

Screenshot via Google Earth

The photo was taken while Denise’s mother was still alive and they failed to update it ever since. The old lady could be seen working around her garden, as she would do while she was still there. And while some find this surprise spooky, it was the sweetest thing ever for Denise.

“You never know what photos are being taken but they really do last a lifetime … I think someone wanted me to see this.”

As life goes on and we sometimes lose the ones we love the most along the way, we are glad we have the pictures and the memories we carry in our hearts to remind us of their presence and what they meant to us.

Baseball Player Spends 1st Paycheck — On His Parents For Christmas

How fillal is he?

One day back in 2017, 21-year-old Pavin Smith was listening to his mother Pam talking about how many years she and his father Tim had left to pay off their house. It was a burden and a monthly obstacle to overcome, and it was clear that the money worries were a constant source of stress for his parents. It was then Pavin realized how he wanted to surprise his parents for Christmas. Pavin decided to use some of his $5 million baseball signing bonus to pay off his parents’ mortgage entirely, as well as a good portion of their home equity loan. He had wanted the gesture to come as a surprise to his parents, but people who know him were not surprised by his generosity. To many, Pavin was always selfless.

Pavin eventually progressed to a travel ball team after playing T-ball since a young age. When Pavin turned 12, Tim decided that he wanted to see him play more often if possible. Both of his parents invested their time and money in Pavin’s baseball ability, but they never expected him to play professionally. Pavin became part of the high school varsity team as a freshman – a year later, he was recruited by the team for Virginia. After entering the world of professional baseball, Pavin thought of his parents. He recalled the long car rides, effort and the money they spent on his training sessions. With his newfound wealth, he wanted to do something special for them. Pavin rolled up a sheet of paper like a scroll and buried it deep in the family’s Christmas tree, his parents found it – and the rest was history.

Watch the surprise happen again in the video below!

There are “Elf” Doors in the Capitol Hill Building

AWM

If you want to learn more about the American history and spend a fun day outside then visiting the Capitol Hill in Washington DC would be just the right thing to do.

Among all those museums, libraries and other amusing things you can stumble upon, the most unusual of all are the tiny doors placed throughout the entire place. Each of these doors has a distinctive color and they are so small that no person can walk through them. So when Rebecca Rainey, a reporter for Independent Journal Review posted a picture of them on the social media it made people wonder what these doors’ purpose might be. Many even joked how they are specially designed for tiny elves to be able to run from one room to another.

AWM

One follower wrote:

“True story: they had these doors installed for the Keebler Elf. Now that he’s not in the Senate anymore, who knows what they’ll be used for.”

No matter how great the story about the elves sounds, they actually have another purpose. Rebecca felt as though she needed to learn the story behind them and share it with all those people whose curiosity she had awoken.

As it turns out, the miniature doors were installed after a fire ripped through the Capitol building back on Christmas Eve in 1851.

Pixabay

Back in 1851, the building was the home of the Library of Congress and with that a place where the most important historic collections and documents were kept. These included Thomas Jefferson’s personal collection of written work.

On Christmas Eve day of 1951, the place caught on fire and the library suffered the most, mainly because there wasn’t access to water in that part of the building. John Jones, the security guard who first took notice of the fire rushed downstairs to get some water, but by the time he got back the fire swallowed the library.

Brave firefighters from seven fire stations managed to put out the flames, but the consequences were devastating. Two-thirds of Jefferson collection was gone along with other priceless materials.

The main reason for this extent of damage was the fact that John Jones didn’t have an easy access to water.

Taking note of Jones’ report, the Army Corps of Engineers built the tiny doors to conceal the newly installed water faucets that were accessible throughout the entire Capitol Building.

They are also used for the janitors to fill the buckets with water.

This teacher does more for her students than just teach

Teachers are a perfect proof that not all heroes wear capes, some are armed with a bunch of crayons and a bag full of papers to grade, as well as innumerable tiny and sparkly notes and cards that remind them how good they are at what they do.

Constantly torn between lots of commitments such as preparing lesson plans that are supposed to fit each student’s needs, check lists, reminding tiny humans not to eat their pencils, only 5 minutes break to finish their lunch, and a lot more, they don’t have it easy.

However, the fact they are perfect in the eyes of so many kids who grew into nice humans only because of their teacher’s positive influence is worth all the struggle.

Sonya Romera teaches in Albuquerque, New Mexico. Her goal is not only to make sure her students learn new things, but she cares whether they have clothes and food for the day.

This inspirational teacher’s story got to the one person who truly appreciates everyday heroes who do so much for the society, Ellen DeGeneris. Sonya was part of Ellen’s show not assuming it will be all about her.

When the moment of truth comes, Ellen invites a shocked Sonya to come on stage with her, which she does with her mouth hanging open. She goes on to tell Ellen about the incredible things she’s done for her students.

Besides making sure that the children are fed and washed up before class started (using her own money to buy breakfast and toiletries for all the students), Sonya has gone as far as to take in needy students. She has taken in two foster children who were former students and has been caring for them as her own for the last six months.

That’s when Ellen showed her a video that her crew made of her students and co-workers thanking her. Needless to say, Sonya, her son, and Ellen herself were absolutely in tears by the end of the video – and so were we!

But, of course, that was not the end.

Ellen proceeded to give Sonya not one but two incredible gifts. And if the video didn’t have us crying, this act of charity certainly did! You have to watch it for yourself to see all of the emotional moments.

It couldn’t be more clear the impact that this teacher has made on everyone she comes across. She is truly one of those magical people that changes every person she meets for the better and we hope people are inspired to follow in her inspirational footsteps.

What do you think of Ms. Sonya and her heart of gold? Were you touched by her story or Ellen’s incredible gift? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Girl Asks Santa to Heal Cousin with Leukemia. Santa Leaves Burly Dad Crying

As everyone is eagerly waiting for Christmas to arrive, the young kids are the ones who are most excited of all. They love this period because they get to meet the big old man they all love so much who is there to grant all their wishes and bring them piles of toys.

But for one little girl, Christmas and Santa mean asking for another type of gift.

Steve shared the emotional encounter between Santa and his little girl and people’s hearts are melting.

Little Tylor asked the man from Bass Pro Shop who was under the mask of Santa to help her cousin Ashley heal and be healthy again.

“This is my daughter Taylor who surprised us by telling Santa that all she wanted for Christmas was for Ashley Freihoff (her cousin) to be healed of leukemia,” Steve wrote in his post.

“Wow what a tear jerker to hear your daughter break down to the one she believes can do anything.”

It wasn’t his daughter’s request that brought this burly man to tears, though. Santa’s response was too much to handle.

“Santa then did something that was more amazing than what my daughter did,” Steve’s post continued.

“He has a hundred kids in line and I’m sure he has had kids all day begging for the toys they want him to bring.”

“ This man stops all the commotion and tells her he even as Santa does not have the power to heal but knows someone who can.

Then Santa bowed his head and prayed with my daughter for her cousin,” Steve wrote.

This can make even the toughest of guys shed a tear.

“I am a big tough guy but there I stood in my favorite store bass pro shops crying like a baby,” he added.

“Thank you Santa for showing my family and everyone there what Christmas is really about.”

Steve added:

“Please feel free to share this as I hope this amazing man sees this post and knows how much he touched my family tonight.”

This dad’s post has been shared more than 120,000 times on Facebook and once Love What Matters shared it on their page, even more people have seen it and shared it with their family and friends.

Christmas is indeed the most wonderful day of the year, but for families who are facing difficult situations, such as an illness of a family member, it can be even tougher to go through the holidays that are all about laughing and making memories for a lifetime.

We hope this family’s prayers are answered.

Teenager Gets Tired Of Grandmother’s ‘Ignorant’ Facebook Posts, Publicly Shuts Her Down

Many times, our opinions are quite different than those of our family members, especially when it comes to our grandparents who tend to stick to the old-fashioned way of perceiving things.

One grandmother spoke her mind about a recent political news that she strongly disagreed with. And as you may assume, whenever there is religion or politics involved, people have opposing views, which can easily lead to arguments that escalate very quickly.

That was the case with this grandma-granddaughter awkward Facebook conversation.

Rashida Tlaib and Ilhan Omar became the first Muslim women elected to Congress, so the grandma shared her opinion on the subject.

People applauded the parents who raised such a well-spoken daughter.

Son Tells Judge He Doesn’t Want Mom To Adopt Sister

Oh, that bundle of joy that enters the family is always an endless source of positive energy and laughter. When the Bakers decided to adopt a little girl named Annalyn Baker, they knew their life will be even better and she will be the best little sister to their two boys.

The process was supposed to be finalized at a courtroom in Florida, Arizona where the family was eagerly waiting to meet the 4-month-old baby.

The adoption was private and the biological parents of lovely Annalyn were going through a tough time, and for some reasons they had to give their daughter away.

“Holding her for the first time didn’t feel any different. We knew she was ours,” Katie said. “They are making a sacrifice. It’s humbling to us.”

Once the process started, Judge Joseph Foster wanted to hear the boys opinion about the adoption. But what 5-year-old Hudson had to say left everyone shocked. When asked whether he wanted a sister he shook his head and said “No.”

The entire courtroom paused and then burst out in laughter. The little guy didn’t fully understand what was happening — Katie knew he didn’t really mean that.

“He’s the one who loves sissy so much,” Katie Baker said.

We are sure what happened at the courtroom will be a story worth sharing with family and friends during social and holiday gatherings and it will always put a smile on everyone’s face.

As for Annalyn, we are sure she will have an amazing life ahead with people who love her more than words can say.

Please SHARE this touching family story if Hudson’s response put a smile on your face!

Cafeteria Worker Earns Overtime All Year To Buy Gifts For Sick Kids

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Dad Surprises Mom With Ultimate Gift

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

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

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

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

Facebook/Love What Matters

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

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

Facebook/Love What Matters

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

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

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

Facebook/Love What Matters

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Christmas Presents Stolen From Struggling Single Mom’s Home

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

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

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

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

And that’s not even the scariest part.

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

Family Annual Christmas Dance Is The Most Wholesome Holiday Tradition

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

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

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

YouTube

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

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

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

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

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

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

YouTube

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Grandma Rips Up Brides Wedding Gown Hoping To Help

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

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

YouTube

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

Facebook/Justi Boroff

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

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

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

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

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

Front Range Angel Gowns

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Boarded-Up Doghouse Was Found And Pried Open On Side Of The Road

This is the story of Walter Worthy Higgins, a dog who got another chance for a better life thanks to the people who never thought of letting his side.

When he was first spotted, he was trapped inside a crudely built dog house whose door was nailed shut with a huge board. People would pass by that tiny house but none took the time to check it out, until one man decided to contact the LAPD. Upon arrival, the police officers pried the board and saw the pooch staying with its head down, visibly scared and injured.

The officers called the Ghetto Rescue Foundation for help.

The poor dog spent three days inside the house with his wounds untreated.

The dog didn’t trust humans and it wasn’t easy to make him get out of the house.

But, stepping out of that place meant stepping into his new life. Walter Worthy Higgins was provided with the appropriate medical care and all the love he hasn’t felt before.

This beautiful dog was placed at a foster home where he learns how to socialize with humans and other dogs. Once he is ready, he will hopefully be adopted by a family that will love him unconditionally. Well, that’s the least Walter deserves.

We can’t thank the volunteers of the rescue organization enough for being there for all those animals in need. Keep up the good work!

Support Gabo and NEA K9 Training Group

Help support our local K-9 Officers

K9 Units play one of the most important roles when it comes to the safety of the community members. Patrolling along the neighborhood streets, they make sure everything is in perfect order. Besides these patrols, these dog handlers and their professionally trained four-legged partners do a lot when it comes to locating missing people and sniffing narcotics.

Officer Gabo is one tough dog that won’t quit easily. He was shot four times by an armed suspect, but is now in the process of recovery.

Having heard stories like this, and realizing how important these dogs are for the community, many people felt the need to step in and help any way possible. As a result, we’ve came across a safe and secure way through which you can support K9 officers in Northeast Arkansas.

K9 officers endure highly demanding training which are usually done at night because dogs can track much better at night than people. This means they don’t really have working hours, but can be called upon whenever there is an emergency.

While on the job, these four-legged officers need full equipment, just like their human partners. That includes animal first aid kits, K9 Narcan kits, muzzles, training tools, and more.

All money donated here will be used for the need of the K9 local officers. You can make a one time donation or sign up for a recurring donation.

Girl Born With Silver Eyes Finally Has Family That Loves Her

This is the story of Primrose, the little girl that will steal your heart.

The lovely baby girl was born in China, with a condition known as congenital glaucoma. Unfortunately, it wasn’t treated during the first few years of her life and it resulted in turning her eyes completely silver and unable to see.

Primrose experiences hearing problems as well. That was apparently enough trouble for her mother to decide to leave her at an orphanage and never look for her again.

This cute little girl didn’t have it easy.

The staff from the orphanage, just like Primrose mom, weren’t willing to spend some additional time with her and teach her the basics that could help her become at least a bit independent. She couldn’t even keep her head straight.

It’s so devastating to learn that a child this young has never felt what it means to be loved and cared for. Luckily, this is about to change. Primrose’s life is about to take a completely new turn thanks to the special family of four that was willing to open the doors of their home to this beautiful girl.

Eryn and Chris first learned about Primrose from Facebook. The moment they laid eyes on Primrose’s picture something told them they had to have her.

The Austins flew across the globe to adopt lovely Primrose.

Although they were facing certain financial difficulties, Eryn and Chris never let go of the idea of giving this child a second chance for a better life. They only feared for her health condition and wondered whether she would be able to endure the flight back home. They soon realized the sky was the limit for the brave Primrose who made it home safe and sound.

Primrose’s presence in the life of her new family made an impact they could never imagine.

This is what the new mommy wrote about her daughter:

“These are mama eyes that only shut for 4 hours last night. And hands that held and patted a baby’s back for 45 minutes straight just to constantly remind her ‘Someone is here.’ A heart that is sure she is screwing up somehow at least 1,000,000 times a day. A head full of questions, anxiety, and fear. She is a mess. A total mess. And life is flipped on its very head because…

“Primrose Lin.”

Source: Eryn Austin

“This is a baby who, just 38 days ago, didn’t know the comfort of being held most of the day. She didn’t know that someone would come to her when she called out in her sweet baby language. She didn’t know that she could eat from a bottle without breathing the liquid straight into her tiny lungs. She had no idea that a big sister could cuddle you better than anyone and a big brother could tickle you into fits of giggles.”

“This is a baby who, just 38 days ago, got a mama and a daddy. Whom she cannot see or fully hear. Whom she doesn’t totally understand. Who took her away from everything she knew, however bleak that reality was, and planted her straight in the middle of a crazy whirlwind of a family. A mama and daddy who watched her fight for her life, who wept tears over her feverish body, who fought through third world hospitals and pretended to be brave – because… that’s what mamas and daddies do. We move in the face of all the fear because of our kids, don’t we?”

Primrose’s takes things one step at a time.

She has a lot to learn, but the important thing of all is that she is happy and eager to grab what life has to offer. She now knows that there are people around her she can trust and rely on whenever she feels down.

Source: Eryn Austin

Things have been challenging both for Primrose and her new family, but their love for each other broke down all the barriers.

It’s amazing what this family did for a girl who had endured so much during her short life. Thanks to their kind hearts, Primrose will only know of love, kindness, and devotion in the years that follow.
