As a parent, it’s your job to make to do everything in your power to make sure your children are protected and cared for, especially in times of emergencies or natural disasters.

However, when parents from Boca Raton, Florida, found out that over 70 foster children were displaced during Hurricane Irma and had nowhere to go, they knew they had to do something for the kids even though they weren’t technically their responsibility.

During Hurricane Irma, over 70 foster kids were left homeless after the foster care community, SOS Children’s Village Florida, that they call home lost power. “At noon yesterday, we got a phone call from the SOS Children’s Village Florida saying we need help,” Marc Bell said. “‘We’ve been evicted from our shelters and we don’t know where to bring the kids, and we’re not getting any help from the county what do I do?'”

“I said, ‘Bring them here,’” Marc Bell said. “They were hungry. They were tired. They lived in the gymnasium for a week. They hadn’t showered for a week and you saw how excited they were.” Marc and his wife, Jennifer, opened their home to the kids and made sure they were all happy and having fun. “We had manicures for the little girls,” Marc said. “We got Bobby the balloon guy coming later to entertain them. Yesterday during dinner, we had a singer come who plays guitar and sang songs with them.”

“They don’t have a mom or a dad, so they’re scared, and then their house parents, even though they’re there for them, they’re scared too,” Jennifer said. “So to have these kids feel welcomed and to just feel comfortable, as a mom it just makes you feel like you’re doing something good. It’s knowing that later on, these kids are going to look back and they’re going to want to help someone else.”

Hotels aren’t always the most pet-friendly locations, but one Florida hotel went above and beyond to save hundreds of animals that were in danger during Hurricane Irma.

As the deadly storm approached Florida, residents were faced with the difficult decision of staying and putting themselves in danger or evacuating and leaving pets behind since most hotels don’t allow guests to have animals.

However, the Hyatt Regency Orlando opened their doors to anyone needing shelter, including those with four legs and a tail so that people wouldn’t have to make such an impossible decision. “We proudly welcomed over 4,500 guests and over 900 dogs during Hurricane Irma,” said Katie Satava, marketing manager at the Hyatt Regency Orlando.

“Our property is typically pet-friendly and we issue a $150 cleaning charge for guests traveling with pets. With Hurricane Irma, we lowered the cleaning fee to $50 due to the circumstances. We have dog-walking stations located in areas outside of our hotel, but with the winds and heavy rains we conveniently moved these stations to right outside of the lobby doors, beyond the valet, for guests to take their animals out with minimal effects from the elements.”

Hotel Takes In 900 Dogs and Their Families During Hurricane Irma is an article from: LifeDaily

As Hurricane Irma approached Florida, one animal-loving couple made sure they were fully stocked up on supplies to keep their beloved pets safe during the storm.

However, when Ron and Gretchen Levine, who run A Paw Above Pet Sitting Services, found out that many people in their area were evacuating and couldn’t bring their pets along, they knew they had to do something to keep those innocent animals safe.

Ron and Gretchen decided to take in as many pets as possible from people evacuating, and even went out to pick up pets for people who had been on vacation and couldn’t get home. By the time the deadly hurricane hit, the two managed to take in 46 different animals from about 23 families.

“Everyone has been getting along great; we do separate the smaller dogs from larger ones,” Ron said. “The cats are set up in cat condos in a second bedroom and our office area. All the animals could care less about the storm… As of now we have no idea how long they will stay with us, as our clients’ flights are delayed or canceled.”

Just moments before one of the first football games of this season, all the players from a Connecticut high school were concentrating on beating their opponent.

However, that all changed when players from Jonathan Law High School walked out on the field for the coin toss and saw who one of the referees was, “Honestly, at first they said ‘We have an honorary ref’ and he was wearing dark sunglasses at 7 p.m. and I was like, ‘What the heck?’,” junior player Cole Egersheim said.

Cole and his teammates took a closer look at the referee and realized he was actually his dad, Master Sergeant Joe Egersheim, who was deployed in Kuwait. “Then I took a closer look and saw my dad,” Cole said. “I was just so happy to see him.”

At first, Cole hunched over in shock from the surprise, but then ran over to give his dad a big hug after months apart. And moments later, his sister, Olivia, ran over from the sidelines where she was cheerleading and joined the emotional moment.

About 17 years ago, Lindsey Collins met the man that would one day become her stepfather when he arrived at her house to take her mother out on a date.

From the very beginning, Mark High made sure that the then nine-year-old always felt included. “He would take me to the mall to buy a rare Pokemon card, then go on a date with my mom. I was always so included,” Lindsey said. And as High’s relationship progressed with Lindsey’s mom, Jamie, he happily became a father figure to Lindsey.

“I always treated her like she was my daughter. In my mind, I would adopt her in a heartbeat,” High said. “We would have a discussion. I would explain why and why not to do something.” In 2001, High and Jamie got married and they would often talk about having High officially adopt Lindsey.

The family never followed through with the adoption, so when Lindsey, now 26, was trying to figure out what to do for High this past Father’s Day, she decided to finally surprise him with adoption papers. “It is never too late. If anything ever happened to my mom, their marriage is the only thing that signifies that we’re connected,” Lindsey said. “I wanted to be his daughter.”

“I was totally surprised,” High said about the moment he unwrapped the adoption papers. “I lost it, because I always wanted to be her father.”

Woman Finally Asks Stepdad To Adopt Her After 17 Years is an article from: LifeDaily

An Iowa hair stylist recently shared this photo of a young woman who came into her salon looking for help.

The 16-year-old walked into the Iowa salon called Capri Waterloo with tangled, matted locks and told stylist Kayley Olsson to “just cut it all off.” Instead of doing what her client asked for, 20-year-old Olsson worked a record-breaking 13 hours, split over the course of 2 days, to restore the young girl’s hair and her confidence. 

Olsson shared the before and after photos of the incredible transformation on her Facebook page after completing the makeover on August 8. It’s no surprise, the post went viral with more than 75 thousand shares and tons of likes on Facebook!

We commend this hairdresser for taking the time to fix not only the hair but the self-esteem of this young girl. We imagine that to this teen cutting her hair was a desperate attempt to correct something she thought was not fixable. 

The best part about this story was that the girl’s hair was back in shape just in the time for her school pictures! Bravo Olsson- you likely changed the life of this young girl!

If you are concerned someone close to you may be experiencing depression, keep in mind that lack of personal hygiene and self-care is a serious symptom of chronic depression. Please offer your help to them in any way you can. 

If this story touched your heart and inspired you, please SHARE it with your friends and family on Facebook!

A grandson serenaded his 98-year-old grandmother with the song ‘Unforgettable’ on her birthday, and it’s a real tearjerker. 

Singer/songwriter and life coach, Ash Ruiz, who lives in Boulder, Colorado posted a video to his Facebook page of him singing to his grandmother. At the beginning of the video, Grandma Jean asked Ruiz for more singing after he had just sung ‘Sorento’ for her, according to ABC News. 

“When I was 8 years old she [his grandmother Gina Rosa Offord DiSanto Evangelista Ciasco] taught me how to sing ‘Unforgettable’ by Nat King Cole because it was her favorite song and I was to sing it with her for her birthday every year,” Ruiz said. “Hence a tradition began and throughout the years we would sing ‘My Funny Valentine’ on Valentine’s Day, ‘White Christmas‘ during the holidays and of course ‘Unforgettable’ on her birthday.”

“I have the most precious memories of my Grandma Jean doing everything with a song. It didn’t matter if she was doing laundry or making lasagna, she was always singing and her voice was rich, velvety and beautiful,” Ruiz continued. 

Grandma Jean lost her singing voice in the late 80s, but the tradition of ‘Unforgettable‘ has always been kept in their family. Whether by phone or by Skype, Ruiz would continue to sing to his grandmother, except this year was different. 

With Grandma Jean turning 98, he decided to surprise her in person with her favorite song, so Ruiz flew to visit her in Florida. “When I rewatch it I have no idea how I held it together for so long, I did lose it at the end of the song and what you don’t see is the sweet tears and ‘I love yous’ that followed,” Ruiz said. 

He still performs with Menudo on reunion tours and said he hopes the video inspires people to “hold their loved ones a little bit closer and longer, especially when their years are closer to their first and last breath.”

When floodwaters from Hurricane Harvey started pouring into their first-floor apartment, one Texas mom and her 13-year-old son moved to safety at a neighbor’s nearby second-floor apartment, before it got too dangerous.

As the hours passed, the floodwaters kept rising, and at around 2 a.m., 13-year-old Virgil Smith got a call from his friends asking for help because they couldn’t swim and were about to drown. “I was like, ‘Man, I gotta go get them right now,’ ” Virgil said. “I gotta go help my friends.”

In the middle of the night, Virgil swam back to his apartment and grabbed an air mattress since he wouldn’t be able to save everyone on his own, and guided it over to his friend. “I put him, his two sisters, one baby and his brother, and I had my other friend by the hand right here, and I set his momma and his step-dad on the air mattress,” Virgil said.

With help from two neighbors, they pushed the mattress through the dangerous floodwaters to the apartment where his mom was waiting. The brave teen then headed back out to save others he encountered on the way that needed rescuing, including an elderly woman in a wheelchair. “She was like, ‘Help, help!’ and we were like, ‘We got you’.”

“All I’m thinking about is I know he’s able to save. He can rescue, he can swim, and I just had faith in the Lord that everything was gonna be alright,” said Virgil’s mom, Lisa Wallace. “I thank God that no snakes or no alligators bit us,” Virgil added.

Watch the entire video below to see what this boy did to save his neighbors from drowning.

Teen Uses Air Mattress To Save People From Flood is an article from: LifeDaily

Wild animals sometimes seek shelter in unusual places, and while a car’s wheel arch provides some protection from the elements, one traumatized koala learned the hard way why it’s never a good place to hide.

Earlier this month, an Australian driver heard an unusual noise coming from the wheel of their car after driving for about 10 miles. After parking the car, the driver went to see where the noise was coming from and discovered two eyes staring back from inside the car’s wheel arch.

The driver immediately called Jane Brister, a wildlife rescuer from Fauna Rescue of South Australia’s Koala, to rescue the terrified creature that must have climbed into the wheel arch before the 10-mile journey. “I soon realized her predicament. I could only see the top of her head and a paw,” Brister said about the koala.

The rescuers removed the wheel and found that the koala thankfully wasn’t pinned to something but was terrified and holding on for her life. “She was hanging on very, very tight,” Brister said. “It’s amazing and it’s a windy road, it’s downhill, so the car would’ve been lurching from side to side,” said Dave Juniper with the South Australian Metropolitan Fire Service.

“She was crying a little bit, she was a little bit shaken, she was certainly in shock but I rushed her straight to the vet,” Juniper added. Luckily, the koala only suffered minor superficial injuries and was released back into the wild after a week of observation. “After everything she’s been through, she’s had so much stress and trauma, to see her just toddle off and up the tree, and currently she’s found the biggest fork in the tree, she’s snuggled up, she’s fast asleep,” Juniper said.

Watch the entire video below to see what one driver discovered trapped in their car wheel.

Usually, when expecting moms go into labor, they jump in the car and head straight to the hospital. However, when one Atlanta mom’s water broke, she was trapped inside her home after a tree fell on it during a storm.

Heather and Mehrvarz Yavaliollah thought they still had about a month before their twins would be born, which is why they decided to wait until after Hurricane Irma passed to clean up a tree that fell on their home. “Everything looked fine and we were not expecting anything to happen and then Irma came along and changed all of that,” Heather said.

However, the next day, Heather’s water broke but she was trapped inside the house and had no way of getting to the hospital. Her husband, Mehrvarz, climbed out, grabbed a chainsaw from their shed, and started hacking away at the tree himself.

“My wonderful neighbors saw me outside, they kind of knew the situation so they started grabbing limbs as I was cutting them off and helped move them to the street, so very thankful to them,” said Mehrvarz. With their help, Mehrvarz managed to clear a path and rushed Heather to Piedmont Hospital where she gave birth to two healthy boys.

“Sweet little angels, so Irma was no indication of their behavior,” Heather said.

After working all weekend making sure protests around St. Louis, Missouri stayed safe, two police officers were wary when they noticed a man lingering around an empty bus terminal.

Sergeant Howard Marshall and his partner, Officer Abenet Carper, from the St. Louis Police Department noticed the man standing alone, but before they went over to see what he was up to, the man started walking over to them. “He asked if either of us knew how to tie a tie because he had a job interview,” Marshall said.

“He didn’t know how to tie a tie,” Marshall said. “I said, ‘Absolutely.'” Marshall wrapped the tie around his own neck, tied it loosely, then helped Hatcher tighten it. “I thought it was neat,” Carper said. “We always want to have that interaction with the community.”

“It’s good to see they can come to us and ask us for help anytime they need to,” Carper added. “He approached us and it took a lot of strength and courage,” Marshall said about the man, Willie Hatcher, who got the job. “After dealing with [the demonstrations] all weekend, I was tense and everything. It was such an awesome feeling he trusted us.”

When one California father lost his wallet, he and his wife were sure they’d never see it again since it held all of his credit cards and was crammed with cash.

What the couple didn’t realize, was that the wallet was laying near the sidewalk in front of their home. When 18-year-old Tyler Opdyke walked by, he knew he could easily walk away with the $1,5oo in cash but knew it would be wrong to keep it.

“It was not a hard decision because this could be somebody’s rent money and wasn’t mine to keep,” said Tyler.  “God bless this young man’s heart,” homeowner Melissa Vang said. “This gentleman picked it up and left it at our doorstep after waiting for a few minutes because I wouldn’t open the door (for strangers).”

“I later found him. Thanked and rewarded him for his kind gesture,” Vang said. “We hear so many terrible news and barely any good. I think we all need to be reminded that there are still good people out there. His act of kindness cannot go unrecognized.”

When little Dyson was at a wild life park at Glen Waverley in Melbourne with his family, he mother Tiff caught the craziest moment on camera. 

The footage, which was posted online last week, showed Dyson standing less than one meter away from a massive kangaroo and an emu. Dyson was hesitant to feed the animals, but he took advice from his older brother to “walk straight at it.”

When Dyson took a step forward, the kangaroo punches him in the face. After the attack, the mother laughs in shock as she asks her son if he’s ok.“Are you alright Dyson, did it get you? Are you ok?” she asked. 

Dyson’s brother who was responsible for leading him towards the animal, is shocked after what happened, and asks, “Did it get you in the face? Oh sh**.”

Still in shock by the hit, Dyson walks away from the kangaroo shielding his face with his hands. A little girl who was a witness to the event is heard screaming in the background, “get away from me.”

We are unsure if Dyson suffered any serious injuries from the incident.

Crazy Video Shows Kangaroo Punching Little Boy In The Face is an article from: LifeDaily

The first day of school is an important milestone for kids, which is why parents are there to send them off. However, one New York police officer never got to witness the special moment after he was killed in the line of duty.

Last year, NYPD Sgt. Paul Tuozzolo was fatally shot after responding to a call about a home invasion in the Bronx. Since his tragic passing, his brothers and sisters in blue vowed to make sure his wife, Lisa, and their young son, Austin, were always supported.

So when Austin started his first day of kindergarten, about 30 officers showed up to send him off to school in his father’s place. “Since Sgt. Tuozzolo couldn’t be here to put his son on the bus for his first day of kindergarten, his 43 family made sure little Austin was not alone on his first day getting on the bus!” Lt. Emmanuel Kwo wrote on Facebook. “We promise to never forget and to always be here for this family! Have a great day Austin!”

“I was blown away,” Lisa said. “I found out when I opened the front door and was ready to bring Austin out for typical first day for school pictures. They said since day one that they would be here for my family and they really have stayed true to their word.”

“I told him that his daddy’s friends from work came to make sure he had a good start to his first day. He understands to an extent. He was very excited and shocked. It meant a lot to all of us,” Lisa said. “It’s been really difficult. There is not a day that goes by that I don’t think about and miss my husband and wish he was back here with us. Not just for the first day of kindergarten, but just being able to hang out in the back yard.”

“He was excited when he got off the bus,” Lisa added.” It’s comforting to know that everyone has my back, the way Paul would have had my back, so I can do the right thing for my children.”

Watch the entire video below to see what these officers did for a fallen officer’s son on his first day of school.
