Meet Grace, a 7-year-old with Down syndrome who has a successful modeling carrier

Having a child with Down Syndrome can be challenging, but once you accept the extra chromosome that God gave you as a present, you’ll learn that these children are special in many ways.

They may share similar facial features, but they are all individuals with unique likes and dislikes.

When the parents of adorable Grace Isabella Wharton learned their baby had Down Syndrome, they felt odd. Her mom, Cheryl Wharton, admits that the news made her cry for 24 hours. It wasn’t that she didn’t like her daughter, but she was aware the girl will face difficulties in life because of the negative perception the society has about people with the condition.

However, Grace, who is now 7 years old, loves the way she looks and she’s very confident in herself. She’s a model and has a very successful career. Her name is already famous in the modeling industry.

Cheryl and John are very dedicated parents who would do anything in their power to see their child thriving and having a happy and fulfilling life.

As a result, they decided to take her to a modeling photo shoot for children with disabilities one day. They believed she would have fun being photographed, but sweet Grace captured the hearts of everyone there. They knew the girl was born to be a model. She just had it in her.

Having Down Syndrome never stepped on Grace’s way to a happy childhood.

“Grace was then signed up within a very short space of time. Disney showed interest in her and she’s done work with them, CBeebies and the BBC since. She’s been really busy,” Cheryl told Daily Mail.

Currently, Grace is part of the company Zebedee Management that represents more than 300 people with different disabilities.

Including these people in all the segments of the society is a step forward to full acceptance of the differences because the differences are what make this world a better and more colorful place.

Grace isn’t doing this only for herself, but also for others who share her condition and feel marginalized. She’s a role model to many young children because the message she spreads is that if you want something badly, no one and nothing can get on your way.

This brave little girl represents the change that she wants to see in the world, and we are all so very proud of her.

So far, Grace has been part of numerous campaigns among which the diversity campaign called “Behind the Scars.”

According to her mom, during the past years, Grace experienced some health issues related to her condition and had to undergo some major surgeries, but despite that, she has never been ill.

She also experiences difficulties forming words and sounds as a result of a low muscle tone.

But none of this stops Grace from enjoying her life and making people around her happy.

Despite being a successful model, Grace is also keeping up with her school and shows amazing school performance. Her teacher, Charlotte Williams, says that little Grace has lots of friends and is sort of a celebrity among the peers.

“I am very lucky because I have had Grace in my class for two years now,” the teacher said.

The great news is that people with Down Syndrome are given more opportunities to shine and show what they can do and achieve. They are not seen as they used to, and we only hope things will go for the better with every passing day.

”It is very important for us to get the message across that she is just a little girl who happens to have Down Syndrome. It’s no big deal, she is a feisty little girl and will always just be our daughter,” Cheryl said.

‘She’s always come through everything that she was faced with. She’s our little fighter,’ Grace’s father John said.

Grace is changing the world for people with Down Syndrome one step at a time.

Her vibrant personality and cute smile are addictive. It’s not surprising that she steals the hearts of everyone who meets her.

Way to go young lady, you’re such an inspiration!

Teenage boy looks after his elderly neighbors

Despite the fact that most people consider teenagers to be trouble-makers, that’s not really the case.

Many times, these kids aren’t even given the chance to prove the world wrong. Luckily, a young boy is changing the way his peers are seen by the society by doing something truly exceptional.

The story of 15-year-old Romemylion Mitchell is here to restore our faith in the younger generations.

This caring boy has noticed how his neighbors, an elderly couple living all by themselves, need help with everyday stuff such as running errands and going to the store. So, he decided to step in and be there for them whenever they need any kind of assistance.

Romemylion has known the couple his entire life and the compassion he shows for them is just fascinating.

No day passes by without him checking on them. In fact, he pays them a visit a couple of times during the day. He doesn’t go to school before he makes sure they have all they need.

Recently, Tiki Joyner Edwards, the couple’s daughter who lives far away, learned of what the teen boy is doing for her parents and she was left in disbelief as her heart melted.

Knowing that there is someone who gives them so much love and support leaves her at ease. Above all, he does all that because he loves to, and never asks for anything in return.

She just can’t believe that someone so young can be so compassionate and caring.

Feeling the need to thank him, Tiki decided to share her parent’s story on Facebook and tell the whole world how amazing their teenage neighbor is.

“He rides with Dad to the store, helps him shop and brings the groceries in.. he cuts the grass and whatever they may need.”

A little while back, the woman, Cianne, ended up in a hospital. When Romemylion heard the news, he rushed to visit her. The sight of him entering her room and giving her a tight hug of solace triggered emotions at the hospital staff and Tiki. It was as though he was hugging his own mother.

“When he saw Mom today he busted out crying and just held her tight… what a blessing and just wanted to pass on something heartwarming instead of the sad news we see and hear every day,” Tiki wrote.

Tiki hopes that what she had to share with the world will change the way people perceive teenagers as these young souls can be truly loving and caring.

Honestly, not many people would do what Romemylion does, let alone someone that young.

We hope Romemylion will inspire others to become better people.

Woman With Down Syndrome Is Changing The World Of Modeling

By

This world is full of people who accept and live by the standards imposed by the society, and sadly, this includes predetermining what is beautiful and what is not.

Many times, this leads to people feel less worthy only because they are not as tall or as fit as the models they see on TV.

However, there are also those who don’t accept their value and beauty to be determined by foolish standards and do all in their power to change the perception that others have about them.

Such person is one brave young woman from Australia named Madeline Stuart. Regardless of everything she was told, including that she couldn’t achieve what her peers could, she was determined to prove the world wrong and become famous.

Madeline is a runway model with Down Syndrome and her name is now huge in the modeling industry thanks to her dedication and determination to shine and fight stereotypes about the people living with the syndrome.

Stuart’s passion for modeling began some 5 years ago when she first saw a fashion show.

Seeing the models walk with such confidence made her be like them and show her beauty to everyone.

As he was determined to start a career in modeling, Stuart shared her plans with her mother who was hesitant whether she should support her daughter’s dream. In fact, she was always supportive and told Stuart she could do anything she would put her mind to, but this was a bit different. She didn’t want her daughter to experience disappointment as she was aware how that industry worked.

But, when she gave it a second thought, she knew her lovely daughter will succeed because she wasn’t different but as beautiful as all those models that walked the runway.

The first step towards accomplishing her goal was losing 44 pounds. As for the confidence and the desire, they were there the whole time.

Only a year after Stuart put her heart into become a model, she stepped onto the runway.

Her first session was a huge success and very shortly after people spotted her, she got plenty of bookings.

Now, she fits in 18 shows every single season and she loves it.

Stuart’s name became a synonym for diversity in the industry and she opened the path for other girls with the syndrome. They all look up to her and considered her their role model.

Forbes Magazine named her the number one person who is progressing diversity in the fashion industry in 2017.

On the way to her success Stuart also makes sure to check her health regularly.

She’s now reaching for the stars and is a supermodel who keeps on setting higher targets and standards.

Young Stuart is an example that when we love something so very much and we are determined to achieve it, the success is guaranteed.

Every time I hear stories of elderly and vulnerable people being victims of thugs and getting hurt along the way makes my heart break into million pieces. Sadly, they are easy target, just like the 79-year-old lady who got dragged violently and was lifted off her feat and then pulled to the ground.

The wrongdoer attacked the elderly lady because he wanted to steal her purse. After she found herself lying on the ground, terrified and helpless, he ran away with his prey.

Now, the police at Kettering police department, in the UK, are trying to track the thief down. They have released a CCTV footage of the gruesome act that left many in disbelief of how cruel someone can be.

The video has gone viral and was spread all over the social media. Speaking of it, Detective Constable Paul Bates said: “Many people will be shocked by the CCTV footage we have released today and rightly so.”

“This lady, like everyone else, should be able to go about her business and feel safe. Her attacker has taken that feeling of safety away from her and it is imperative that he is identified and brought to justice.”

The poor lady ended up with a broken arm that would take a lot of time to heal. Sadly, she will no longer feel safe in her hometown, and neither the rest of the citizens.

As per Metro, the police is doing their best to bring the cruel person to justice as soon as possible.

8-year-old boy jumps to his death from ninth-floor apartment in Ukraine

The life of the eight-year-old boy named Anton ended in the split of a second. After being abused for a long period of time, he decided to put an end to his struggles by jumping from the ninth floor of the building in Ukraine where he lived with his parents.

The tragic incident took place on August 23 after the boy came home from school. Some of the neighbors said how they heard shouting coming from Anton’s family apartment. Allegedly, the parents were mad at their son for ripping his clothes. Moments later, Anton left this world in the most horrific way.

The neighbor who lives downstairs, Zhanna, recalls how the noise coming from the family’s apartment meant the boy got beaten again. After that, there was complete silence which was later broken with the sound of the boy’s body falling on the ground.

‘Several seconds passed and there was that horrific thud when a body hits the ground,’ Zhanna said.

‘I looked out of my kitchen window and seaw the boy lying below. I called an ambulance and the police.’

‘I saw the family going upstairs to their flat. Ten minutes later the boy was lying on the ground as his parents were racing downstairs in the street,’ said Andrey, another neighbor of Anton’s family.

Anton was pronounced dead at the scene. An innocent life was lost due to the way he was treated by his cruel parents. Currently, authorities are launching investigation against the neglectful parents.

Anton’s mom and dad were questioned and they admitted beating the boy on the day he jumped into his death. They also confessed how they beat him regularly because according to them, he was misbehaving.

If they are found guilty, the parents face up to five years of jail time. Sadly, the recently fled the apartment and authorities are unaware of where they might be.

The principal of the school Anton attended, Oksana Zelenska, said how the boy was felling behind and his parents weren’t interested in him at all.

Psychologist Zoya Pershyna added: ‘Anton visited me for counselling several times. I did not see it coming.’

Maybe if someone from Anton’s surrounding realized how serious the negligence and abuse over him was and alerted social services on time, this tragedy wouldn’t have happened.

Against all odds – Oldest man with Down syndrome in the world lived for 80 years

By

Although much progress has been made throughout the years regarding how people with Down Syndrome are regarded and accepted by the society, many of those having the syndrome believe they are still marginalized.

I guess it will take some time until everyone understands that people with Down Syndrome are not any different than the rest of us.

Reaching 80 years, Kenny Cridge was the oldest person with Down Syndrome. His long and fulfilling life made him famous as his name is written in the Guinness Book of World Records.

From the moment he was born, Kenny made sure everyone knew he was a fighter. The moment he and his twin sister were welcomed into this world back in 1939 the doctors believed he was a stillborn. But then, they realized the tiny human was breathing.

Kenny was given a life expectancy of 12 years, but he beat the odds.

After the death of his mother, Kenny moved in with his nephew before he was taken to a nursing home. There, he lived an impressive life. He was happy and everyone around him loved him. The staff recalls how he would always joke with them and the rest of the residents and they all loved his sense of humor.

The celebration of his 77th birthday reached the national news. It really was a party to remember.

Sadly, Kenny passed away this April at the age of 80 but his life is an inspiration for everyone, especially those who have the same syndrome as him.

Celine Dion Makes James Corden Cry With Laughter On Carpool Karaoke

By

She’s a diva in every sense of the word. Her powerful vocal places her on the list of the most talented singers and performers of all times. And as you are guessing already, this fierce lady we are speaking of is Celine Dion.

Her impact on the music industry is huge and she never ceases to amaze us with a new talent.

She showed the world how great of a dancer she is when she hit the floor on Jimmy Fellon’s show, and this time she’s amazed us with her incredible sense of humor.

Although she resembles a serious person based on her gracefulness and looks, she’s in fact one of the funniest people we’ve ever seen or met.

Maybe her most loyal fans know of this fun side of hers, but honestly, it came as a surprise to me.

After she was James Corden’s guest on his Carpool Karaoke, people realized there was nothing Celine Dion can’t excel at, including being amusingly funny.

She perfectly combined her undeniable music talent and her witty sense of humor.

Dion and Corden start they fun journey at the streets of Las Vegas where the singer resides.

Once in the car, she reminds Corden of how lucky he is to catch her on her ‘only’ day off of the year and we know right away this episode is so worth watching.

When he asks her how she loves Vegas, she explains that she lives where her heart is and belts the famous lyrics “My Heart Will Go On.”

And when asked whether she enjoys the ride Dion answers back singing “I’m so excited, I just can’t hide it.”

Now as the radio is on, the famous hit “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now” starts playing.

Dion’s hilarious facial expression when she hears the song is now on point as she twists her face pretending not to be happy with the choice of music. But once she lets her voice loose once again, we get she’s in fact in love with that piece of music.

As we enjoy the small talks between the guest and the host, things start hooking up when Dion wraps Corden’s arm around her shoulder and gives him a juicy kiss on the lips.

Wow, she was right, he really is one lucky man. It’s not everyday that you get such kiss from a celebrity of that kind.

As Corden states, Dion really has a song for every moment so he comes up with a hilarious challenge and asks her to put some drama in the performance of the most watched kids’ song Baby Shark. Well, he doesn’t have to ask twice as Dion accepts that in an instant and goes for it.

What she comes up with is beyond hilarious. There’s really nothing Dion can’t do when it comes to music and singing.

But, all this is just the start of an incredible driving-around adventure.

Make sure you watch it till the end and get some good laugh.

Teenager helps woman escape the rain not knowing a cop is watching

Tyrea is a teenager with a heart of gold. He always makes sure everyone around him stays safe and sound and his actions of kindness stole the hearts of many once again.

One cold and bitter day, this teen and his mom got to their van where they placed their groceries, and just when they were about to head home, Tyrea jumped off the vehicle. His mom was confused at first, but knowing his son, she knew he did it for a reason.

Moments later, she noticed him helping an elderly lady get to her car, protecting her from the poring rain with his coat.

The lady thanked him and the two said goodbye to each other before Tyrea got back to his mom’s van.

Tyrea’s mom was incredibly proud of what her son had done. Well, she has always taught him to be kind and compassionate, especially when he spots someone in trouble.

However, it turned out that Tyrea’s mom wasn’t the only one who noticed his act of kindness. A police office named Holt witnessed the whole thing so he decided to follow the teen and his mom. Eventually, he pulled their van over.

At that point, Tyrea’s mom was worried sick because she believed the officer misinterpreted her son’s kind act.

As he approached closer, Officer Holt said, “Mam, I’m shocked.”

Her heart started beating very fast because she was convinced she and her son would find themselves in trouble. But then the officer added, “I’m shocked at how selfless your boy is.”

Those words made Tyrea’s mom cry tears of joy. She knew she raised her boy right, but having someone notice that and praise him that way just melted her heart and filled it with happiness.

Officer Holt believed what this teen did was very special especially because not many teens in his place would do the same.

He then took to Facebook and wrote:

“I told his mom that she has done amazing with him and I hope and pray he goes places.”

However, he later realized that he should have done more for the boy so he wrote another post saying, “Kiddo, if you see me on the street again, this guy owes ya a dinner. You ever need anything, I will come running to ya.”

Some of the people who had seen the post and read the story helped officer Holt and Tyrea get in touch.

Soon after, they had dinner at Red Lobster and invited Tyrea’s mom too.

This lovely story proves that even the tiniest act of kindness can go a long way.

It’s because of generous people like Tyrea and Officer Holt that this world is a better place.

We are sure the praise Tyrea got will only encourage him to do more good in the future. Who knows, he may even become a cop like Holt one day.

If you found this story inspiring please share it with your family and friends.

Toddler best friends hug like they haven’t seen each other in years

By

Many people we meet during our lifetime come and go, but some of them are there to stay. We call the latter our best friends.

However, there comes a time in life when we can’t hang with those special people as much as we would like to as the world of adults is filled with tight schedules and a bunch of commitments. And when we meet them after a long time, it feels like time stood and we are as close as we were before.

If you can think of such person as you read this, you are lucky.

Two toddlers named Maxwell and Finnegan have been best of friends from the moment they met. They simply enjoy each other’s company so much that they never spend more than two or three days apart. But judging from the way they hug when they see each other, you’ll get the impression that they are long lost buddies who meet again after so many years.

The sweet video below shows just how much these two love and miss each other. It’s only been two days since their last playdate, but they feel like it’s been way longer than that. Luckily, Maxwell’s dad Michael Cisneros, caught the lovely moment on a video. “When they are away from each other, they are always asking about one another,” he said. “They go to music class together, Dana Banana (a weekly music event) and they love to dance — both are excellent dancers.”

Imagine how they would feel after seeing this some 30 or 40 years later.

We hope their friendship will last forever and they will be each other’s greatest support in the years to come.

As for now, we just know that they stole our hearts.

After 24 Years Of Work, One Airplane Cleaner Becomes A Pilot

By

The Nigerian man named Mohammed Abubakar is the person we should all look up to whenever we feel like we are failing in accomplishing our life goals. He’s a perfect example that sticking to a dream and working really had to turn it into reality always pays off.

Some twenty-four years ago, Mohammed started working as a cleaner at Air Azman. What is interesting to note is that he only accepted this job position after he failed to get admission at the university of Kaduna Polytechnic because he missed the deadline.

At that time, this sounded like a big deal and he felt that his dreams were crushed, but he never stopped working on becoming the successful man he is today.

At first, he didn’t earn a lot of money and he was determined to change that, so he soon became a part of the ground staff and learned a lot about the aviation industry.

Over time, Mohammed was offered to become a member of the cabin crew. At this point, his salary was way higher than before, but he knew he couldn’t stop there as he was aware only the sky was the limit.

His determination brought new results as he moved to Aero Contractors where he worked as a flight attendant. Now, he earned a lot of money.

Mohammed went even further and saved the money in order to become a pilot.

Starting as a cleaner and ending up working as a pilot took a lot of years of hard work, but Mohammed never though of giving up.

As it turns out, the saying “work hard in silence and let your success make the noise” is true for some people.

Autistic child is throwing tantrum on flight – Crew puts a stop to it

By

Monica Pop

Being a parent to an autistic child can be an overwhelming experience. These parents, however, always do everything in their power to provide their kids with the best life they can have considering their condition.

A mom named Lori Gabriel boarded a flight on United Airlines with her five-year old autistic boy recently.

She was looking forward to the trip, but she was also aware that little Braysen could behave in a manner that other passengers may find inconvenient.

Once on the plane, they headed to their assigned seats, but Braysen refused to sit down. Gabriel tried to explain to him that he had to take his seat, but he simply wouldn’t listen.

Moments later, he started screaming uncontrollably.

Gabriel worried the two might be asked to leave the plane before it takes off as Brayson started running up to first-class.

He wanted to sit on the floor there and his mom couldn’t convince him that it simply wasn’t allowed as he had to have a seat-belt on during take off.

Gabriel felt bad as she knew the rest of the passenger found her son’s tantrum annoying although they said they didn’t mind him running around.

Then, as Braysen started playing with one of the passenger’s armrest, the flight attendant approached. Gabriel was worried sick at this point because she expected from her to tell her to calm the child down or leave the plane.

But what the flight attendant had to say changed everything and put this mom at ease.

Gabriel was told that Braysen could sit anywhere he wanted whenever the seat-belt sign was off.

Hearing this, Braysen agreed to take his seat during the take-off.

But the moment he noticed the sign was off, he quickly ran to the first class area and sat on the floor.

The plane staff was so understanding that they even gave Braysen a blanket so that he didn’t feel uncomfortable on the floor.

Once he got what he wanted, Braysen behaved throughout the whole time. He just sat there quietly and didn’t bother anyone.

And then, just before they reached their final destination, one of the passengers got closer to Gabriel and gave her a piece of paper with something written on it.

When she took it in her hand, Gabriel didn’t know what to expect, but once she read it, her heart melted. It said, “I commend you for your strength. Do not EVER let anyone make you feel as though you are an inconvenience or a burden.”

It ended saying that Braysen was a blessing!

Gabriel knew that perfectly but maybe she needed someone to remind her of that.

This dedicated and loving mom felt the need to thank everyone who treated her son with so much compassion so she posted the note on Facebook and expressed the gratitude to the company, the flight attendant, the woman who handed her that note, and all the passengers.

People who got to see the post and read the note were deeply touched. Many said that it was because of people like those on that flight that the world is a better place.

The story of Braysen and his brave mother is just a proof that we should always be kind to everyone because we never really know what people are going through.

A little love and support won’t cost us anything, but it can mean the world to someone.

Adult Version Of The Little Tikes Toy Car Is On The Roads

By

When we look back, we realize that our childhood was the best time of our life. We were careless and free of the problems that the adult world brings. And yes, we had our toys that we played with all day and night.

Now when I think about it, I would definitely want to go back to those happy times.

Two brothers named Geoff and John Bitmead had this same wish, but as we all know things don’t work that way, so they used their craft skills and creativity to bring a valuable part of their younger days into the present.

As you are all guessing already, they created a real life version of the famous red and yellow Little Tike toy car.

I know that reading this made you a bit jealous, am I right?

Building this unique car took them around 1,000 hours and more than £4,000 (nearly $5,000), but it was definitely worth it.

The “Big Tike,” as they call their piece of work, is road legal as it has an engine, headlights and indicators. More or less, what every normal car has.

Not only they had fun building it and driving it, but it also landed them a Guinness World Record for the largest Cozy Coupe in the entire world.

Although they love it a lot, and it made them famous, they still decided to sell it. So, around four years ago, “Big Tike” was offered on e-Bay and was sold for £21,500 (around $33,000 at the time).

I would really want to have such fun looking car that would make me feel like I’m a kid again.

What do you think of it? Would you drive it around? Share your thoughts with us in the comments section below.

Homeless father unable to find shelter that takes men with children

By

Life is a never-ending circle of ups and downs and we never really know when a desperate situation will come across our way.

Joseph Cantu from Southeast Michigan had a nice life with his wife and his five children, but things turned for the worst when the mother of his kids left them.

Sadly, that meant he could no longer pay for the house and he and his kids became homeless.

Ever since, he struggles to provide a safe shelter for his family, but it’s way harder that it looks.

“There’s been several nights where we stayed inside this van. We pull inside a rest area sometimes to sleep,” he told FOX 2. “And then there’s several nights that some people will donate money here and there so we can sleep in a motel room.”

And as if the situation this struggling father found himself in wasn’t stressful and difficult enough, Joseph also lost his job because he couldn’t provide childcare for three of his children who still don’t attend school.

At the time being, he’s waiting to be given place in a shelter, but as it turns out, the shelters in the area don’t take in single fathers with children.

“I never thought this would happen to myself anyway but what bothers me the most is that they [his kids] have to endure it as well, and luckily they’re small enough they probably won’t remember it,” he said.

Although Joseph qualified for child care through the Michigan Department of Human Services, he is till in urgent need of a stable job that would help him provide for his little ones.

People who know him and are aware of the tough times he’s forced to go through have started a GoFundMe page.

We are furious and overwhelmed by the fact that no shelter is willing to open their doors for a single father with that many children who is struggling to make ends meet.

We hope Joseph would be able to find a job very soon and he and his kids would have a decent life.

Hidden camera footage shows a caretaker assaulting an 84-year-old elderly granny

The world we live in is a cruel one. How often does it happen that you stumble upon a story of animals being abused and neglected, or elderly people being assaulted at the assisted living facilities where they spend the last years of their life? Unfortunately, the answer most of you would give, is way too often.

One may say that children are those who should take care of their parents when they reach certain age, but that’s not always possible.

They, however, believe that their older family members would be given the care and the support they deserve, but sadly, that’s not always the case.

This is just another heartbreaking story of an elderly woman being treated with disrespect at the nursing home where she lives.

The following video shows a caretaker cruelly hitting and kicking and 84-year-old woman who has difficulties moving around because of her deteriorated health condition and her age.

The case of abuse was discovered after the family of the lady noticed she had bruises all over her body. When they asked for an explanation, the staff told them how she had fallen off a chair and hurt herself. The family didn’t buy the story and decided to install a hidden camera in the room.

The discovery chilled their blood and broke their hearts. They simply couldn’t believe how someone could be so cruel.

The video was later posted online so that more people become aware of the hidden dangers they put their elderly in when they place them in nursing homes.

You can take a look at the shocking scenes in the video below.

Today, 18 years after the terrorist attacks that made all the American citizens breath as one soul, we remember the sacrifice of those who lost their lives in the attempt to save others’; the nation’s pride and joy, the first responders.

On that disastrous 9/11 the whole nation stood together as feelings of sadness and grief filled the morning air. And as confused people were running for their life, the firefighters were bravely entering the burning buildings trying to save what could be saved.

The eyes of the whole planet were on America. People were praying for the victims and their families and everyone was aware that day would be marked as one of the saddest in the history of the United Nations.

To honor the brave first responders and to pay tribute to all the innocent lives lost during the tragedy, a person made a touching video that triggers tears to roll down your face. Despite the horror and the panic seen in the eyes of the onlookers, it also shows cops and firemen entering the burning buildings moments before they collapsed.

Touching, indeed.

It was later reported that he was mentally distressed and was fired from his job just hours before he went on the killing spree.

Luckily, little Anderson survived the attack. Ector County Sheriff Mike Griffis said in a statement that she was now home and recovering.

“We are thankful for our beautiful baby girl and look forward to reuniting her at home with her twin brother soon.”

We are so happy for Anderson and we wish she recovers completely. We hope she would be able to forget the ordeal with time and it won’t affect her childhood and her life.

Way to go Anderson, you are one of the bravest little children we’ve ever heard of.

Mom Alice Phillips and dad Ricky Wetherley describe their 5-year-old son as the most vibrant young child out there. Freddie loves what most his peers do and that’s running around, hanging out with his friends, and going on fairground rides.

So, when this perfectly healthy boy started complaining of pain in his legs, his parents believed it was because he was very active. One day, however, after he refused going on the fairground rides because as he said he’s legs were sore, that raised the red flag. Something was really wrong and Alice and Rick knew Freddie had to visit a doctor.

Sadly, the family got the most devastating news. Little Freddie had an aggressive form of cancer known as neuroblastoma. This rare form of the life-threatening disease affects around 100 children in the UK annually.

The family’s hearts broke into million pieces when the initial scans showed that the illness had affected all his body. They recall the doctors’ words who said that the cancer spread “from his nose to his knees.”

The odds of survival weren’t in Freddy’s favor. But neither this little fighter, nor his loving parents ever thought of giving up. The boy had gone through various treatments and he’s now cancer free.

“He has done wonderfully well and made an amazing recovery and we are very proud of him,” his parents told Daily Mail.

The treatments Freddy had to go through were long and painful, but at the end, it was all worth it.

After he was transferred to Great Ormond Street hospital, he immediately started a 70-day cycle of chemotherapy. Later, at Christmas, he had undergone a stem-cell transplant, and in February of this year, he had his stomach tumor removed.

“He was sick and exhausted through the treatment, but he has handled everything really well,” Alice explained.

She added that talking to his two year old sister named Freya on Facetime helped Freddy a lot. She was his support and he was looking forward to their talks every single day.

Now, sweet Freddy can get back to what he loved doing the most. He’s back to school and doesn’t miss a football match with his friends.

“When we first saw that body scan, we didn’t think there was much hope,” Alice continued.

“He really is our little miracle.”

We are extremely happy for this brave boy and his family who never gave up and never lost hope. Please share this story in support of Freddy.

When a guy named Edi Okoro started dating his girlfriend Cally Read, he knew he wanted to spend the eternity with her. Well, he also knew he was ready to pop the question so he bought a mesmerizing engagement ring. But, it looked like asking her to marry him wasn’t an easy task to do as he wanted it to be something really special. So, he decided to wait for the perfect moment. Along the way, that waiting turned into an interesting game of taking pictures of Cally and the ring without her ever noticing that.

And yes, he’s willing to share those pictures with all of us. Amazing, isn’t it?

Sharing his cute story with Bored Panda, Edi said: “We met at athletics. We both competed at a very high level and traveled to competitions together. Both also ran for Birchfield Harriers AC.”

“I knew she was the one after I realized our conversations didn’t dry up and we bounced off each other.”

He also said that Cally was really close at noticing the ring at few occasions, but that never happened.

Edi shot a few videos too.

If you wonder when and why people started proposing with diamond rings, here’s the story. Back in 1477 Archduke Maximilian of Austria proposed to Mary of Burgundy with stones shaped in the form of M. But it wasn’t until the 19th century when diamonds were discovered in South Africa that ordinary people started saving for such rings to pop the question.

The trend became even more popular when the company DeBeers launched the ad that said, “A diamond if forever.”

Edi shared some great news with those following his story telling that he finally asked his loved one to marry him.

Her response was a resounding YES!

“This engagement turned out more than what I originally intended it to be,” Edi concluded. “I’m just happy that I don’t have to walk around with [the ring] anymore and keep it a secret!”

People from all over the country took their time to congratulate the couple.

Mom films her twins in bed – they suddenly start ‘talking’ to each other

The bond created between siblings is one of the strongest, but it looks like twins are connected to even deeper level. Growing up around a brother or a sister means having a best friend for life and someone you can always turn to when things get tough.

The parents of twin babies Grayson and Griffin shared a heartwarming video of their two bundles of joy ‘talking’ to each other and it’s way too cute to handle. Although the boys are way too young to be able to speak, they still found a way to communicate to one another, and it seems the two understand each other just perfectly as they can’t stop laughing at what they have to say.

We hope their connection will only grow stronger as they grow up.

You can see them speaking in the video below.

Make sure you share it with your friends and make their day.

With the beauty of becoming a parent comes the constant worry for the well-being of the little ones.

Recently, one mom named Jennifer Moore experienced what every mom and dad out there fears of. Her 4-year-old child didn’t get off the bus at the bus stop where she was waiting for him.

This mom immediately knew something was wrong. She tried to keep calm and approached the bus driver who told her to look for he boy at the last stop the bus had made.

There, she came across her child lying in the middle of the road with concerned and terrified passersby gathered around him.

“When I turned the corner, my son was laying in the middle of the road with a group of people around him because a truck hit him and took off,” Jennifer said.

The truck driver stuck Joseph and dragged him down the road after which he fled the scene without even checking whether the boy was alive or not.

‘They’re a coward, they’re an animal’: 4-year-old dragged down street in Pasco hit-and-run | @WFLAJeff has the mother’s reaction>> https://t.co/hQk8awfGrE https://t.co/dTPNZGZgxD

Jennifer just can’t understand how someone can be so cruel.

Speaking of the person who hurt her child and left him there in the middle of the road, Jennifer said: “They’re a coward, they’re an animal. They have no regards for the human race, period.”

Authorities are doing their best to solve the case and track the truck driver down, but they only have little information on who he might be. Witnesses said he was driving a blue Chevy S-10, and currently, that’s all they know.

Joseph was rushed at the nearest hospital after the accident took place and he ended up with a broken femur and severe road rash, but thankfully, he recovers pretty well.

The boy clearly remembers what happened on that day, saying how he got off at the wrong bus stop and tried to cross the road. He looked left and right and as there were no vehicles, he started walking. But then, out of the blue, the pick-up that was speeding struck him.

“He saw a blue truck coming and so he tried to run the rest of the way across the street. He said, ‘Mommy, it didn’t slow down and it knocked me over and dragged me on the ground and then I fell asleep,” Jennifer said.

We wish little Joseph well and we hope the person responsible would be soon brought to justice.

3-year-old Vivian Fitzenrider had gone missing around 5:30 p.m. on Tuesday. Her parents believed their red-headed girl was in the house, but it wasn’t until 30 minutes later that they realized she was actually missing.

They believe she left the place all by herself and after they failed tracking her down, the Mountain Grove Fire Department got involved into the search that lasted less than 24 hours when the lifeless body of the girl was found in a pond 200 yards from her Missouri home.

Currently, the Missouri Highway Patrol, Mountain Grove Police Department, and the Wright County Sheriff’s Office are investigating the case, though they believe Vivian’s death was an accident.

A gruesome footage of a woman stabbing a 3-year-old boy in the face has left the whole world speechless. The incident took place on the streets of Tbilisi Georgia, but the video has gone viral in a matter of days and it’s now all over the social media.

The attacker was identified as a 51-year-old woman. Her family and relatives describe her as a nice person and they can’t believe what she did, nor they know why she did it.

The poor boy who was the victim of this random attack simply found himself in the wrong place at the wrong time.

Unfortunately, the cuts across his nose and cheek were very deep and the boy had to be hospitalized.

The CCTV footage that was captured by a nearby pharmacy shows the woman walking past the victim and his family and taking the knife out very suddenly. It all happened so quickly that there wasn’t time for the parents to react in time to take the boy away. The crazy woman even tried to finish what she started as she tried to approach the scared boy again, but this time, the parents managed to stop her.

Onlookers were left in a complete shock as they couldn’t believe what had just happened in front of their eyes.

The attacker then run away but the police tracked her down the following day. She now faces up to ten years in prison if convicted.

The family of the victim claims they have never seen that woman before and just cant’t believe a complete stranger could do such horrific thing to such a young boy.

The boy underwent a surgery but will stay in the hospital until he feels better.

We pray for your full recovery brave boy!

6-year-old throws new pencil-case in the trash, so mom teaches her a lesson

Being a parent is challenging. And as kids grow old, those challenges only get tougher and tougher. No matter how much their moms and dads try to satisfy their needs, kids can be really ungrateful at times. And this type of behavior they show is not really a result of bad parenting, but it’s a period they simply go through.

A mom from Florida was looking forward to the start of the new school year and was over the moon when she finally managed to find that LOL pencil-case her little one wanted so badly. Once home, she handed it to her six-year-old daughter and expected a huge hug in return. But what she got in response, left this mother overwhelmed. Instead of saying ‘thank you,’ the girl named Presleigh did the unimaginable. She took the pencil-case and threw it in the garbage.

Mom Haley knew she taught her little one better than that, and she was determined to teach her a lesson she would never forget.

Sharing the story on Facebook, Haley wrote: “She stared at it and threw it in the trash and slammed the bedroom door. She yelled “that’s stupid, everyone in my class has that … I don’t want it anymore!”

This was the first time for Presleigh to show such behavior as Haley has always taught her to be humble and grateful for the things she gets in life.

The mom said: “I thought I had always taught her to be grateful [and] know how lucky she was but apparently sis needed a small wake up call.”

Now, as that cool accessory that everyone was crazy about wasn’t good enough for Presleigh, Haley decided to replace it with something less cooler; a zip-lock plastic bag that she could use to keep her pencils in while at school.

Seeing her new ‘pencil-case’ made the girl realize she wanted the LOL one, but it was already too late.

“I explained to her she’s not entitled to anything special and she is taking for granted how lucky she is… I will personally deliver the nice box to a child that could benefit from it,”Haley explained.

“Maybe I over react sometimes but I would’ve done anything to have all the things she does as a child. I truly believe changing your perception [and] just being grateful can turn around any situation in life.”

Parents have to take drastic measures from time to time in order to teach their children the core values they should live by.

And we are perfectly aware the little ones believe they are being punished, but over time, they realize that everything their parents do is for their own good.

Vegan Who Sued Neighbors over Barbecue Smell Loses Court Appeal

A vegan woman from Perth, Australia, named Cilla Carden took legal action against her meat eating neighbors for making barbecue in their back yard. According to Carden, her stay at her yard became unbearable because of the smell of grilled meat and cigarettes and that made her took drastic measures. She as well complained of the neighbors’ kids running and playing outside. Speaking to 9News, she said, “It’s been devastating, it’s been turmoil, it’s been unrest, I haven’t been able to sleep.”

Carden’s case, however, wasn’t convincing and was thrown by the State Administrative Tribunal. One of her neighbors who wanted to stay anonymous says her demands ‘were proven to be not reasonable and and indeed were to the detriment of the other owners’ ability to enjoy their lots in a reasonable and acceptable manner.’

But Carden was determined to stop at nothing to regain her piece and quiet. Not only she sued them again, but this time she also asked from the nearby families to dim their patio lighting, keep their pets quiet, and stop putting many plants in the common garden.

The appeal she submitted on March 29 of this years was rejected on July 29 by Chief Justice Peter Quinlan. He said that the 400 pages of evidence were ‘well in excess of anything that might be thought to be proportionate to the issues’.

According to The tribunal, letting children play in the patio ‘didn’t constitute reasonably a nuisance.’

Now, even one of the families forbade their kids from playing basketball and moved their barbecue, Carden is still not happy and is planning on taking additional legal action.

Having a child with Down Syndrome can be challenging, but once you accept the extra chromosome that God gave you as a present, you’ll learn that these children are special in many ways.

Grace isn’t doing this only for herself, but also for others who share her condition and feel marginalized. She’s a role model to many young children because the message she spreads is that if you want something badly, no one and nothing can get on your way.

The great news is that people with Down Syndrome are given more opportunities to shine and show what they can do and achieve. They are not seen as they used to, and we only hope things will go for the better with every passing day.

The story of 15-year-old Romemylion Mitchell is here to restore our faith in the younger generations.

Romemylion has known the couple his entire life and the compassion he shows for them is just fascinating.

Feeling the need to thank him, Tiki decided to share her parent’s story on Facebook and tell the whole world how amazing their teenage neighbor is.

Honestly, not many people would do what Romemylion does, let alone someone that young.

Only a year after Stuart put her heart into become a model, she stepped onto the runway.

If they are found guilty, the parents face up to five years of jail time. Sadly, the recently fled the apartment and authorities are unaware of where they might be.

After she was James Corden’s guest on his Carpool Karaoke, people realized there was nothing Celine Dion can’t excel at, including being amusingly funny.

As we enjoy the small talks between the guest and the host, things start hooking up when Dion wraps Corden’s arm around her shoulder and gives him a juicy kiss on the lips.

Moments later, he started screaming uncontrollably.

Gabriel felt bad as she knew the rest of the passenger found her son’s tantrum annoying although they said they didn’t mind him running around.

But what the flight attendant had to say changed everything and put this mom at ease.

Hearing this, Braysen agreed to take his seat during the take-off.

The plane staff was so understanding that they even gave Braysen a blanket so that he didn’t feel uncomfortable on the floor.

This dedicated and loving mom felt the need to thank everyone who treated her son with so much compassion so she posted the note on Facebook and expressed the gratitude to the company, the flight attendant, the woman who handed her that note, and all the passengers.

Life is a never-ending circle of ups and downs and we never really know when a desperate situation will come across our way.

Ever since, he struggles to provide a safe shelter for his family, but it’s way harder that it looks.

She sustained injuries to her chest and bottom lip when a shrapnel hit her in the face.

Sadly, seven people, among which three police officers, were killed before the police shot the gunman dead in front of a movie theater.

The odds of survival weren’t in Freddy’s favor. But neither this little fighter, nor his loving parents ever thought of giving up. The boy had gone through various treatments and he’s now cancer free.

Now, sweet Freddy can get back to what he loved doing the most. He’s back to school and doesn’t miss a football match with his friends.
