When one Montana mother found out she had stage four cancer, her first thought was that she might not make it to her daughter’s high school graduation.

When 55-year-old mom Carol Grant was diagnosed in January with stage four pancreatic cancer, she was scared yet the first words out of her mouth were “I won’t be able to see my daughter graduate.” So for the past few months, Grant has been holding on in order to make it to the graduation, which is scheduled to take place on May 20.

But recently Grant’s condition started to deteriorate rapidly and was placed into hospice care just a few weeks ago. “She is ready to go anytime,” Carol’s husband, Terry, said. The family was crushed that Grant wasn’t going to see 17-year-old Kelsey graduate especially since she’s the class valedictorian.

However, local residents Michelle Wolff and Mary Elizabeth Grue reached out to the school and organized a special early ceremony at the Prairie Community Hospital so Grant wouldn’t miss the special moment. “They did an actual graduation,” Terry said. “They had guest speakers. They went through the speeches and everything. They did it in the dining hall of the hospital just like it would be at the regular graduation.”

“Kelsey held together pretty well. When she was giving her mom a hug with the rose it was very emotional. She gave a speech, but she started crying,” Wolff said. “A lot of people were extremely emotional. My wife wasn’t all there because she’s on a lot of medication, but she clapped,” Terry said.

School Hosts Special Graduation At Hospital For Terminal Mom is an article from: LifeDaily

For one nine-year-old little boy with special needs, change of any kind is terrifying. So when he was assigned to a new therapist, he understandably had a huge meltdown.

“He does not do well with change,” mom Jessica Baler said about her son Kyson, who doesn’t talk and has undiagnosed special needs despite undergoing endless testing to pinpoint a specific diagnosis. “He struggles with any kind of transition.” So shortly after Kyson was dropped off at Journey’s, a Developmental Disability Agency, and met his new case worker he bolted out the front door and had a meltdown in the parking lot.

Rigby Police Officer Chris Scott had been across the street in his cruiser, and pulled over when he witnessed the meltdown. “He looked like he kind of had a bad day, so I pulled over and I sat down,” Scott said. “I just sat there for a few minutes and let him do his thing. He pointed at my patch and I happened to have a challenge coin on me that had the patch on the opposite side and then badge on the other side. I gave him that and said are you ready to go back inside? He had a smile on his face and he was good to go.”

Kyson’s new case worker snapped a quick photo of the touching moment and sent it to Kyson’s mother, who then posted it online to thank Scott. “It’s priceless,” Jessica said. “That picture says a thousand words. He took the time to make sure that he was okay, to comfort him. It just shows the compassion he truly had instead of just of moving on past it.”

The photo has since gone viral and Scott has been praised for going above and beyond to help a special needs child, but he doesn’t think he did anything special. “He’s absolutely in shock that the photo has gone as far as it has,” Jessica said. “It touched his heart. It meant a lot to him that he was able to help. He was glad that he could represent that police officers are good guys.”

Cop Comforts Boy With Special Needs During Meltdown is an article from: LifeDaily

While driving on her normal bus route, one Milwaukee bus driver spotted a young girl walking alone on the sidewalk and knew she had to stop and see if she needed help.

Aside from the fact that the girl was alone, driver Tiffani Lee knew something wasn’t right since she was wearing mismatched shoes and light clothes that weren’t warm enough for the chilly weather. “I’m a parent, so I knew no parent would let their child be outside in that kind of weather with a flip-flop and a tennis shoe, no way, “ Lee said.

Despite being in the middle of her route, Lee pulled over and asked the 5-year-old where she was going. It was obvious the girl was lost, so she immediately called the police and sat waiting with the girl in the warmth of the bus. West Allis Police Officer Darrin Kmichik arrived shortly after, and brought her safely home to her terrified family.

“I promised to get her some shoes that weekend, and I think she had it on her mind. She always says, ‘Wait for you by the bus stop.'” said the girl’s aunt, Cheryl Wentland. “That tore me up… so bad.”

Watch the entire video below to see the amazing thing this bus driver did when she saw a small child wandering the street alone.

Bus Driver Rescues Lost 5-Year-Old Wandering The Streets is an article from: LifeDaily

When one Ohio couple decided to open their home to a foster child, they made a promise to each other that they wouldn’t turn their backs on the child or children they were assigned.

Even though Ohio couple Christopher and Christina Sanders had five of their own children, they stuck to their promise when they were assigned six siblings because they knew they’d likely be split apart and spend years being moved around to different foster homes.

“We have always loved children and believe all children deserve to be loved,” the couple explained. And this past week, the couple made their commitment to their foster kids legal when they officially adopted the six siblings. Our goal has been to do what we can with what we had, and what we have is a home and a lot of love.”

While it’s easy to see the family is all blood-related, they all love each other as if they were. “She’s the sweetest sister ever and I love her so much,” said Caitlin Sanders about her newly adopted sister Chloe. “We’re all the same in God’s eyes, so the color of anyone’s skin has never had a bearing on any of this,” Christopher Sanders said.

Watch the entire video below to see the emotional moment these incredible foster parents adopted six children.

Family Of Seven Adopts Six Foster Children Siblings is an article from: LifeDaily

Getting eight young children and one three-month-old newborn to get to bed by yourself is a monumental accomplishment, which is why one Iowa mom was furious when their dog started barking wildly in the middle of the night.

On March 15 at about 1:30 a.m., mother-of-nine Angela Fullmer was understandably annoyed when her rescue dog, Capone, started barking and refused to stop. Capone is normally a quiet and obedient dog, so Fullmer thought something must be wrong to make him act that way, and got up to see what he was barking at in the kitchen.

As she walked in the room, she saw the plug for the microwave had burst into flames, and she quickly grabbed her kids, ran out of the house, and did a roll call before calling 911. “We always do a roll call every time we get in the van,” she said. “They’re used to it.”

“He loves his family,” said Fullmer, who found him wandering the highway alone before bringing him home and making him a part of the family. “He’s pretty special. I’m glad we found him on the highway. I believe it was supposed to happen.”

Rescue Dog Saves Mom And Nine Kids From House Fire is an article from: LifeDaily

Earlier this year, cruel kids covered a terrified stray puppy named Pascal in glue, dragged him through mud, and left him to die at an industrial estate in Istanbul, Turkey.

Pascal attempted to rub off the glue, but it set quickly and acted like cement on his weak body. “Pascal was in a miserable state when I first saw him inside that box. He was not moving, he had frozen, and he was very scared and traumatized,” said Nur Rima Yola, founder of He’Art of Rescue.

Most would have thought Pascal was a lost cause, but the He’Art of Rescue team refused to give up and carefully shaved all the glue-coated fur. “After the glue had been removed, he stood in shock for one day. He even turned his back to hide when he saw people,” Nur Rima Yola said.

But after months of rehab, care, and being adopted by a loving forever family, Pascal has completely transformed physically and mentally after experiencing such torment and pain. “‘HAPPY TIMES AFTER EVERYTHING HE WENT THROUGH FINALLY !!! PASCAL is spending the weekend with his family in Spain by the beach! Breathtaking view!” the rescue posted in an update.

Puppy Smothered In Glue Undergoes Miracle Transformation is an article from: LifeDaily

Twins Kim Abraham and Danielle Grant grew up doing everything together, and fraternal sisters recently gave birth to their children on the same day! 

According to InsideEdition.com, Abraham, and Grant, 32 said that getting pregnant at the same time was not something they planned, but they couldn’t be happier with the outcome. “We always wanted it to happen the same time, but the thought of it actually happening is crazy, so we’re excited,” Grant told InsideEdition.com. “We found out the same day.”

Abraham took a pregnancy test and called her sister who decided to take one too and both came out positive. The sisters spent their pregnancies doing everything together, from going to doctors’ appointments and even having their ultrasounds one after the other. 

The twins even had a joint gender reveal party, where they found out to no one’s surprise that they were both having boys! Even though they were given the same due date- April 22, the sisters really didn’t think they would actually give birth on the same day. 

“We thought it would be a couple days off. It was definitely unbelievable. It was awesome. The chance of actually going on your due date is not good, so we’re like, ‘They’re never going to be born the same day. Just a couple days. It’s still really cool,'” Grant said.

When April 22 came and went, both sisters still haven’t given birth and they wound up being induced on the same day- April 28. “It was the quickest date available, so we were ready to get them out… because it would be awesome for them to have the same birthday,” Grant said. “We love having the same birthday.”

The sisters delivered their babies in adjacent hospital rooms, Grant said, “Yes, we were texting each other and FaceTiming each other to see what was going on and how she was doing and how I was doing. My mom was there — back and forth — in-between the rooms and then our husbands were in-between the rooms just to see what was going on.” 

Grant gave birth to baby Roman at 11:42 am and a few hours later, Abraham gave birth to baby Aaron at 3:20 p.m. “We’re excited for the future,” Abraham said. We want to wish these new moms the best of luck!

Twin Sisters Give Birth To Baby Boys On The Exact Same Day is an article from: LifeDaily

While parents are typically the ones that are supposed to give their children gifts on their birthday, one California boy couldn’t help but surprise his dad with a special gift on his 10th birthday.

About two months ago, Porsche Williamson’s then 9-year-old son Kalani Watson asked if he could have her husband’s last name as well since he has been a father to him since he was about three-years-old. So the two started the adoption process and gathered the paperwork needed to make it official.

Kalani planned to ask his stepdad, Brandon Williamson, if he would adopt him on Father’s Day, but he couldn’t wait and decided to ask during his tenth birthday party. “I know today is supposed to be all about me, but today is really about us,” Kalani said. “I’m so glad now that I’ve learned so much from you. I asked mom, ‘What’s the difference between a stepdad and a real dad?’ Cuz I don’t get it sometimes…you have been here for everything.”

“So let’s stop playing and make it official. Brandon Craig Williamson, will you do me the biggest favor in the world? Will you adopt me?” Kalani asked. Williamson broke down in tears as he listened and opened the present and found adoption papers inside.

“We all just cried,” Porsche said. “I knew this was going to break [Brandon] down. Like the time my son asked if he could call him dad he was four. He has so much love for Brandon and he was so nervous once the day was here. He kept going over it the day before.”

Watch the entire video below to see the touching moment this little boy asks his step-dad to adopt him.

10-Year-Old Surprises Stepdad With Adoption Papers is an article from: LifeDaily

What could have been a frightening situation for a little boy turned into smiles when a 14-month-old locked himself in his mother’s car. 

Brandon Emery’s mom, Kirsty Green tells Today.com that she had to put her son in the backseat of the car while she unloaded groceries into the trunk at a supermarket near their home in Bude, England. After accidentally closing the trunk with her car keys inside, she watched as Brandon tried to push the power locks, which ultimately trapped himself in the car. 

A shopper in the parking lot saw what was happening and called the non-emergency number for the police. Luckily, it was not a hot day, so Brandon was not in any imminent danger. Firefighters from Bude Community Fire Station arrived on the scene to Brandon giggling in the passenger’s seat. 

He somehow managed to climb up there and grabbed the steering wheel with a grin like he was about to go for a drive. It was absolutely hilarious! Kirsty posted a photo of Brandon on Facebook saying, “Thank you to the amazing guys who rescued my cheeky monkey after locking himself in the car today at Bude Lidl! He was clearly traumatised by the whole ordeal.”

“[The firefighters] were amazing, and I think just as much as they were keeping Brandon entertained, he was equally making them laugh,” Green told SWNS.

To get Brandon out, the firefighters tried to pop the lock of the door using a plastic tool with a hook but were unsuccessful. The moment they saw Brandon put a coin in his mouth, they broke the rear driver’s window and opened the car to rescue him and prevent a choking situation. 

“It was just brilliant how unfazed he was by the whole thing, really,” firefighter Matthew Wonnacott told SWNS. “He seemed very entertained by the fact that there was a whole group of strangers staring into his mum’s car.”

Cheeky Toddler Locks Himself In Car And Laughs As Firefighters Rescue Him is an article from: LifeDaily

Police officers dedicate their lives to helping their communities, so when one upstate New York cop stumbled upon a homeless man in need of a haircut and a hot shower, he was more than happy to help.

Officer Aaron Page was patrolling downtown Rome, New York when he spotted a homeless man who was ‘down on his luck’. Page started talking to the man named Bobby and learned that he desperately wanted to clean himself up with a warm shower and a haircut.

Page told Bobby to stop by the police station the next day, and when he arrived, Page and a few other officers gave Bobby a complete makeover. After a hot shower, the officers got Bobby new clean clothes and then got to work cutting his bushy, matted hair.

By the end of the haircut, Bobby was unrecognizable and as if the officers hadn’t helped enough, they gathered a bunch of donated clothes in his size and gave them to Bobby in a new duffel bag. “Bobby left looking like a whole new person and couldn’t thank us enough,” the police department wrote in a post to Facebook.

Kindhearted Police Officers Give Homeless Man A Makeover is an article from: LifeDaily

Most expecting moms know that no matter how much they plan and prepare, they have no control over when and where they’ll go into labor.

However, with a whole month left of her pregnancy, one Nebraska mom-to-be thought she still had plenty of time before her daughter arrived. But shortly after Kymica Hubbard entered the Henry Doorly Zoo & Aquarium in Omaha, Nebraska, she realized her baby girl was on the way and wasn’t going to wait four more weeks in the womb, nor wait until they could get to the hospital.

Hubbard started having contractions while riding the train at the zoo, then she knew it was serious when her water broke in the restroom shortly after. Hubbard and her husband Justin knew they had to head straight to the hospital, but didn’t even make it out of the gate before baby Drea was born. “When I started feeling her head, I was like, ‘Oh my God, my daughter is here. It’s coming! So I got more excited than scared,” said Hubbard.

The birth was so quick that not even the zoo’s staff EMTs made it to her in time, but thankfully Justin is a trained nursing assistant and was able to safely deliver his daughter. “She was crying, cooing. It was just the most beautiful thing that a man could ever see. It was a truly blessed experience,” Justin said.

“I know she’s going to ask, ‘Mom, where was I born?’ I’m like, ‘Okay, you were born at the zoo!'”

Zoo Welcomes Surprise Birth Of First-Ever Human Baby is an article from: LifeDaily

Nurses spend most of their lives trying to help others and keep them safe. One Ohio nurse is being hailed a hero for going above and beyond the call of duty to save a baby seconds from drowning.

This past weekend, a devastating flash flood ripped through Green Township, Ohio and left people fighting for their lives as water level quickly rose above waist height. It happened so suddenly, in fact, that one couple was left frozen in shock as their car started to sink with them and their baby trapped inside.

Thankfully, a nursing home worker spotted the young family getting pulled under the water, and waded out into the dangerous water to save them. “The water’s probably midway on my waist, and then I tell them, ‘We got to get the baby out, you need to give me the baby, we need to go,’” Sandra Paterson said.

“The water was rising quickly,” said Patterson. “We only had a few seconds to get the baby out.” Luckily, she was able to pull the baby out and the parents managed to get free with just seconds to spare. “Within a matter of seconds, the car was under,” she said.

Nurse Saves Baby From A Car Sinking In A Flash Flood is an article from: LifeDaily

Parents are supposed to do absolutely anything to protect their baby and keep them out of harm’s way. That’s why one Tennessee woman was horrified when she realized what one couple was trying to do with their own child…

Last week, Pamela Wise was browsing the ‘for sale’ section on Craigslist, hoping to find some supplies that would help fix up a vintage camper that had been sitting in her yard. However, as she scrolled through the ads, one ad for an adoption caught her eye.

“I thought, well I’ll just look and see what it is,” Wise said. The ad was from a woman nearby, so Wise reached out to try and find out more. “She said, I have a five-month-old, I said boy or girl, she said it’s a little boy, five months old, and you can adopt him, you can have him, I’ll sell him to you,” Wise said.

Wise soon realized that the woman was really trying to sell the baby for profit, so she immediately contacted the Elizabethton Police Department. “She said what problem do you have, and I said there is a lady trying to sell me her baby on Craigslist. Next thing I knew a detective and lady from the Carter County Department of Human Services was there,” Wise said.

The police then took Wise’s phone and began negotiating with the mother on a price and settled on a time and place to meet. “They talked and negotiated a price, and they were wanting to sell their five-month-old baby for $3,000,” said Greene County Sheriff Pat Hankins.

“We were anticipating more of a scam or someone that was fixing to rob someone. Once you walked up there and really looked in that baby carriage, and saw that little child, that’s when it gave you the sick feeling of what was going on,” Hankins said. John Cain and Deanna Greer were arrested and now face felony charges, and their baby is now safe in protective custody.

“I just think the Lord put me in the right place at the right time to save his little life,” Wise said. “That little baby had a little angel watching over him, and that angel will always be with him.”

Woman Saves Baby After Parents Tried To Sell Him Online is an article from: LifeDaily

For a mother with three children, having your car break down is a massive inconvenience, but now one Arizona mom sees her car trouble was really a blessing in disguise.

Recently, mom Zarah Ajmi’s car broke down, and she was forced to ride her bike to get around. This past weekend, Ajmi was riding her bike past a community pool at around 8:30 a.m. when she noticed a 7-year-old girl in pajamas climbing the fence to get in the pool, which wasn’t open yet.

“I have three kids so I know how kids act in water. I just knew I needed to go check and see. I had a feeling, go make sure she knows how to swim,” Ajmi said. As she watched, the girl started struggling and could barely keep her head above the water.

“I could see her bobbing out of the water, and it was obvious she did not know to swim, so I climbed up to get over and it took me a few times, and I jumped right in the water, pulled her out right to the steps,” Ajmi said. She immediately called 911, and shortly after, the autistic girl’s mother and first responders arrived. Thanks to Ajmi, the girl had not been harmed.

“Thank God my car broke down and I was having to walk because everything happens for a reason, and I was at the right place at the right time,” she said.

Hero Mom Saves Autistic Girl She Found Drowning In A Pool is an article from: LifeDaily

One California mom assumed someone would jump at the chance to cash in a money order for hundreds of dollars that she lost.

That’s exactly why she was stunned when a total stranger went out of his way to return it to her. “It flew away somehow,” said Yesenia Del Valle, who had taken out a $676 money order to make her tax payment. “I tore my car apart looking everywhere. I thought maybe I left it in the tax office, checking for it there. I was frantic.”

Del Valle never thought she’d see the money order again, but later that night a complete stranger knocked on her door with the piece of paper in his hands.

 

“When he knocked on my door, I never would have imagined it was about the check. I was shocked and wanted to know where he found it,” Del Valle said. Sergio Juarez had found it underneath his tire earlier that day and was able to track her down based on the address she had written on the back.

“I got him $40 and I said, ‘Here take your wife to Denny’s,'” Del Valle said. However, Juarez mentioned he’d be using the money for gas. “When he said that to me, I realized he must be struggling and I asked him and he said he lives in the Motel 6.”

“I couldn’t sleep all night thinking about what to do,” she said. “I couldn’t believe that a person in that situation would care to do something so nice when he doesn’t even have money for gas.” Juarez lost his job and was living in a motel with his wife, their three children, and another child they took in, so Del Valle started a GoFundMe to thank him for his good deed.

So far, the campaign has raised almost $18,000 and Juarez has received multiple job offers from people who were so impressed by his honesty and morals. “I reached out and told him what I had done,” Del Valle said. “His wife was in tears. Their kids are smiling for the first time in months. I told him you don’t need to thank me. I said this is my thank you for you doing the right thing.”

Homeless Man Returned $676 Money Order That Stranger Lost is an article from: LifeDaily

For the past 20 years, one cocker spaniel has given all his love, affection, and loyalty to his California-based family.

That is exactly why he was so heartbroken when they suddenly and heartlessly abandoned him at a shelter. This past month, a woman walked into the Carson Animal Shelter with her 20-year-old dog named Sonoma. They had been together since Sonoma was just a puppy, yet the woman explained he had gotten ‘too old‘ and she no longer wanted him.

“She felt he was too old and she would come home to find him swimming in the pool because he is DEAF and BLIND!!!! He is completely confused about what is happening to him, it must be so scary,” the shelter wrote in a post to Facebook. Since Sonoma is so old, his chances of being adopted were very slim. But thankfully Frosted Faces Foundation, which rescues elderly dogs, heard his story and took him in.

“At any age, the only languages a dog will ever know are fierce loyalty and love,” said Kelly Smíšek, founder of Frosted Faces Foundation. “There is nothing one can say to explain to your dog all of the reasons you feel your decision of abandonment is justified, and that is why we operate Frosted Faces Foundation.”

Sonoma’s rescuers brought him to be examined, and aside from a few small issues, he was surprisingly in very good health. “He has some tiny hang-y masses and lots of skin tags, but we aren’t going to do anything too crazy,” Smíšek said. “The man did make it to 20 years old without being carved upon, so perhaps the only thing he requires beyond the treatment for his eyes and ears is a loving home!”

“Sonoma’s days will go on, his heart will heal, and we will be his advocates,” Smíšek said. “Where anger meets love, we act.” For now, Sonoma is getting lots of love and affection from his rescuers but is looking for his forever family who will stand by him for the rest of his days.

Owner Dumps 20-Year-Old Dog At Shelter For Being Too Old is an article from: LifeDaily

Dogs are natural explorers, but one puppy’s curiosity almost got the best of him when he crawled into a drain pipe and accidentally got lost in a maze of pipes.

The 16-month-old pup, named Jet, had been out for a walk one evening with his owner Jamie Taylor when he got loose and ran into a nearby drain pipe. Taylor desperately called after his puppy to come back out, but he could hear Jet crawling further and further into the pipe, and knew he was going to need some professional help.

“He called our emergency line shortly before 2 a.m. but we knew we wouldn’t be able to help until daylight, so I went along first thing in the morning and called for the fire service’s assistance on my way,” said Joanne Hartley, an RSPCA inspector.

But when Hartley and the fire department arrived, they realized the problem was more complicated than they thought since the system of pipes spanned an area of three football fields.

“It was an absolute nightmare,” Hartley said. “The pipe was about 10 inches wide and is part of the old brickworks site, which is the size of around two or three football fields. We could hear Jet barking and whimpering, but we had no idea where he was located in the pipes.” They called the local water company and a construction company, and together they were able to send a camera down and tracked Jet down.

“The piping runs around four feet to six feet underground, so we had to dig around 10 trenches down to the pipe to see if we could reach him,” Hartley said. But after six long hours of digging, the crews finally rescued Jet and returned him to his worried family.

“Jet was really shaken at first, but now he’s back to his usual self,” Taylor said. “I’m really thankful to everyone who worked so hard to make sure Jet was freed.”

“All the agencies involved were willing to work as long as it took to free Jet and I’m so glad we were able to release him safe and sound,” Hartley said.

Rescuers Rescue Terrified Puppy Lost In Maze Of Pipes is an article from: LifeDaily

Firefighters are used to rescuing people and animals from hopeless situations, but a crew of Ohio firemen even doubted if they would be able to help a poor cat that got his head trapped inside a cement-encased pipe.

This past week, some locals from Dayton, Ohio heard what sounded like a desperate animal crying for help, so they went out searching for it since they feared it was injured. When they finally tracked down the source of all the noise, they discovered a stray orange cat that had been stuck for hours with his head stuck in a metal fencing pipe.

Together, rescuers from the Humane Society of Greater Dayton and the Dayton Fire Department tried to chip away at the cement, but their efforts were futile. “The pipe inside was far too thick to easily remove the scared cat. Our team sprang into action and gave the cat a sedative to keep it calm while they worked to save it from the pipe,” the rescuers explained.

The crew took a piece of the pipe and the cat back to the Dayton Fire Department’s Headquarters and got to work cutting away the thick, rusted metal. Even with the Jaws of Life and hack saws, it took two more hours for the rescuers to finally free the cat, who has since been named Piper.

Aside from some small injuries from trying to free himself, Piper was thankfully unharmed from the incident and is now resting at the Humane Society.

Firefighters Free Cat Who Got His Head Stuck In A Pipe is an article from: LifeDaily

Dogs and cats are known for being sworn enemies, which is why people are so stunned by what one Idaho cat did to save her canine companion.

This past weekend, Michaella Franklin had plans to work around the house and yard, but her day took an unexpected turn when a neighbor’s large dog showed up in her garage as she was working. “It just kind of looked at me and I’m looking around like, where is the owner of this dog?” Franklin said. “Then it saw my dog and it ran into my garage, and my dog kind of hunkered down for safety and it just mauled her.”

“Then it saw my dog and it ran into my garage, and my dog kind of hunkered down for safety and it just mauled her.” Franklin tried to pull the vicious dog off her seven-year-old spaniel named Bailey, but the dog’s grasp on her own was too strong. “It seemed like it went on for ten or fifteen minutes,” Franklin said.

Thankfully, Franklin’s cat, Mocha, heard the attack and came to investigate. When he saw his best friend bloodied and battered, he didn’t hesitate to take on the aggressive dog. While Mocha had the dog distracted, Franklin was able to grab Bailey and rushed her to the vet.

“Bailey is alive today because of my cat, Mocha, without a doubt,” Franklin said. Thanks to Mocha’s selflessness and bravery, Bailey was able to get help in time and is now safely back at home recovering with her protector. “They’re like brother and sister.”

Being able to see colors is something a lot of people take for granted, but as students from one Pennsylvania high school listened to their history teacher talk about being colorblind, they realized how much he’s missed out on because of it.

“Earlier in the year, he would talk about how he is colorblind,” said student Andrew Bregman said about his teacher, Matt Alzamora. “One day in 7th period, he was talking about an experience he had with his daughter, where one day she was talking about how pretty the sunset was, and he said he just really wanted to be able to see a sunset,” said fellow student Maci Chambers.

The students searched online and found out about a company that makes special glasses that allow colorblind people to see color and assigned a person from each class to collect money. After raising $528, the students were finally able to order the glasses and surprised Alzamora with them during a staff meeting. “I had someone bring in over $100, someone over $50 – people brought in $20s, $10s, $5s so a lot of people pitched in more than what was necessary,” Bregman said.

“It was incredible. It was like vivid. I never realized how many colors there were… Like the balloons. I thought there was only a couple colors. And like now, you can see the difference,” said Alzamora, who had heard about the glasses before, but had never thought about purchasing them for himself. “I had heard about it online but they’re expensive and when you’re colorblind, your whole life, you can’t say you’re missing anything if you’ve never seen it.”

“I am just overwhelmed for him and that the students would do this for him,” said wife Patty Alzamora. “It’s a great community in Lower Providence, the kids are amazing. It’s a credit to the community that they would do something for me of all people,” said Alzamora.
