Today a lady and her husband came into our Home Depot and told us that the insurance company might not pay for their little boy’s walker, so they went on the internet and found plans to make one out of PVC pipe. My store manager heard about this and went over to them and said, "We got this."
We started putting it together and told the family to go and enjoy ice cream and come back in an hour. Other associates started jumping in and when the family came back it was done. Everyone was crying to see Logan walk around with the biggest smile on his face.
When the family tried to pay us, we said "No way, this one is on us."
What a wonderful act of kindness!

And I see you are an LCSW. You have used your hardship to grow compassion instead of bitterness. All the best to you, good sir.

That second sentence was completely unnecessary. You can't judge a country for its past. All countries including mine have embarrassing moments in history. We can't tag Germans as nazis, we can't tag Spain (where I live) with dictatorship and terrorism, and so on. And you can't say polish people are doing better than they did. Different times, different people. Congrats for today's job, Poles. Better think twice what you write, dude.

Never let our elderly feel lonely. They are treasures and need to be treated like so

This hits home. Hopefully my kitten with FIP will be declared cured of this normally-fatal disease in two weeks (treatment is 84 days of medication injections) - and he’s definitely getting some delish foods and a party :D I’m so glad this pupper made it too!

Americans should take a lesson from this example. This is how to offer comfort to strangers in peril.

It doesn't matter if they're biological or not, a good mama will take in any infants.

I hope the school helps pay for this, but realistically, I bet the funding comes out of the teacher's pocket. If you happen to serve on a school PTA or student council, this would be a great thing for you to set up and fund!

Oh my god, I learned from John Oliver about inmate firefighters and how they are unable to get a job as one after release. This is amazing!

My dad had an accident and sustained a catastrophic brain injury when I was 18. He lived, but my “dad” was gone forever. I thought he’d be around forever, to walk me down the aisle, to see me graduate college… what I wouldn’t give for just one more minute to talk with him. He died last year after 21 years of being bedridden, in diapers, with a feeding tube, and catastrophically brain-damaged. But nor would I trade a single second of those 21 years, either. IDK, I miss my dad :(

i lost my father to stage 4 prostate cancer 6 years ago. i couldn't do s**t for him. didn't even try and talk about whatever he wanted to say. i was suffering from mental health issues that kept me in bed 16 hours a day, and in the hours (of the night) when i was awake, i would work to pay off the medical bills. he wasn't a big talker and i was never a good child. i wonder how many stories, and memories he took away with him forever without telling me. once I'm gone, no one will remember him at all.

It's an easy sign to get wrong. Unless you actually know what you're signing in ASL, it's really easy to accidentally sign "Happy Day Your Mom Birthed You Out." (Not literally, but pretty close. The sign for "birth" means labor and is very different than "birthday.")

There was a group of people standing in a circle in a parking lot once, all facing out. Turned out there was a lady on the ground who had a seizure and they were surrounding her to make sure no one messed with her until the ambulance got there. Some was kneeling beside her with their hand behind her head so, if she seized again, she wouldn't hit her head on the pavement. Restores my faith in humanity when stuff like this happens. They were standing facing away from her because they didn't want her to wake up and be embarrassed at seeing a bunch of strangers standing around her staring.

I watched the video of this. He's so happy that she did this for him, he came out from behind the table and gave her a hug. She started bawling she was so happy!

I didn't realize how much I needed this until about 1/2 way through. I've been heading down to a dark place lately, this really did help.
