Chick-fil-A is known for caring about the community wherever the restaurant is located.
Many of the managers hold fundraisers for organizations and people who are in need as well as those who are sick or who have lost family members and need a helping hand.
Meeting someone who is homeless often strikes a nerve to do something to try to help for many people. There are also those who tend to avoid helping the homeless.
One man stumbled into a Chick-fil-A in Tennessee, possibly looking for something to drink or just to get away from being outside for just a few moments.
The manager decided to do something a little special for the man.
When the homeless man entered the restaurant, he wanted to try to get a few scraps that would otherwise be thrown away.
He wasn’t asking for money and didn’t ask the customers for any kind of assistance.
When he left the restaurant, he had a huge smile on his face because of the actions of the manager.
While the interaction was taking place, a father and his daughter were enjoying a meal at a nearby table.
The father made a social media post about the story so that others might be able to see how the homeless are treated and how simple actions can make a difference.
The daughter decided to trade the toy from her meal for ice cream.
As they waited for a few minutes for her ice cream to be prepared, they saw the exchange between the manager and the homeless man.
The man was wearing muddy shoes and looked tired. Most of the people in the restaurant tried to stay away from him.
Soon after the man entered the building, the manager talked to him and explained that he wanted to help. He was given a full meal instead of the scraps that he wanted.
The manager also prayed with the homeless man, touching his shoulder so that he would feel as though someone cared.
For some managers, they could have sent the man away, but this manager made a difference if only for a few moments in time.
Cats are low-maintenance pets that are relatively easy to take care of. In addition to being independent, cats are also very loving and affectionate creatures. Cats make great companions for people of all ages and are a perfect choice for those who are looking for a pet that does not require a lot of time or effort.
Cats are the perfect pet for anyone who doesn’t want the hassle of having to walk or bathe them. All they need is a litter box, some food, and a little bit of love, and they’re good to go. Plus, they’re so independent that they don’t even need you to be around all the time.
We often think of cats as being able to look after themselves. In the case of the cat Hedey, her owner was unable to care for her properly and she went without proper grooming for years. When animal rescuers finally got hold of her, she had so many ;dreadlocks’, she looked like an octopus . After the cat’s owner, who suffers from Alzheimer’s, was taken to a nursing home, they spotted Hedey and called Animal Rescue League Shelter and Wildlife Center.
Animal experts thought that Hedey had probably been neglected for up to two years. Some of the ‘dreadlocks’ were 6 to 8 inches long. Jenny, a vet that helped to free Hidey from her matted fur and recorded it in a video she posted on Facebook said, “(Hedey has) the worse matting I have ever seen, she has dreadlocks.” Hedey was sedated for the procedure, to make her more comfortable.
“She suffered from severe matting (dreadlocks, really), the likes of which had been neglected for years,” said a post on the shelter’s Facebook page, according to People. “Our Medical team shaved off the pounds of intertwined fur from her body and, needless to say, this cat is feeling so much better now!” Hedey was re-homed with a distant relative of her former owner. The condition Hedey had could have been prevented with proper care.

Little 5-year-old Lexi Shymanski had gone with her mom Angela and baby brother Peter on a drive from their home in Prince George, British Columbia to Calgary. With soft lullaby music playing for her kids in the car, the mother nodded off at the wheel.
The family’s car careened off the road and plunged down a 40 foot cliff into the rocky terrain. The crash knocked Lexi out, and when she awoke, she saw her mother hunched over the wheel and her brother was crying, while she herself was covered in scratches. Read the full story here ▶

A 10-year-old Brazilian girl complained of having a terrible stomachache in school.

The girl delivered her baby without incident.
According to police chief Captain Castro, the girl’s mother claims that she didn’t notice her daughter was pregnant and blamed it on the girl’s small frame. Really?

Small frame or not, you would certainly have to recognize something was different with your daughter.
The girl later told her mother that it was her stepfather who had abused her. The stepfather was no longer living at the home.

Maybe the mother was in denial. The stepfather, 40, had also threatened to kill the girls’ mother and brother if she told anyone.
Two years earlier, the girl had become more introverted and started to have some troubles with her school work.

Her stepfather abused her for two years and then got her pregnant.
He was arrested and charged with illegal possession of firearms and rape of a child.

Young girls, like the one in this story, do not have a fully developed pelvis which puts them at risk for complications during childbirth.
For example, premature labor, prolonged labor, eclampsia, obstructed labor, anemia, or fistulas.

The little girl is lucky to have survived giving birth.
Reports at the time indicated that the girl and her baby were doing fine.
Never drink and drive. It’s a lesson and phrase we often say and hear, but few realize the full implications and danger behind those who do not abide by the rule.

Calling all parents: how would you feel if your child wasn’t allowed to fail in school? At first mention, the idea might not sound half-bad; after all, schoolwork is tougher for some kids than others.
Maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to even the playing field, right?
Well, it’s that very idea–and in this case, that very school policy— that has prompted a teacher to leave her teaching position. Read the full story here ▶
