In December, an 85-year-old North Carolina widow called a tree company begging for firewood, she said she was cold and couldn't heat her home.
The owner delivered it free and then fixed her roof, her heat, her car, raised $20,000 for her Christmas... and STILL maintains her property free, checking on her every week.
Her name is Nana Abernathy. She had just lost her husband and was struggling to survive on her own when she made that call last December.
Paul Brittain, the owner, showed up with the firewood himself. No charge.
But while he was there, he noticed things: a leaking roof, a broken heating unit, a car that needed tires.
So he came back, this time with his whole crew.
They fixed the roof.
Replaced the heat.
Put new tires on her car.
All for free.
Then, for Christmas, Paul raised $20,000 for her.
To this day, he maintains her property at no charge and checks on her every single week, just to make sure she's okay.
He has never charged her a dime.
This is the America I love!!!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Airline confirmation ticket - D4vd bought Celeste a plan ticket to fly her out to London. On the confirmation it clearly states that Celeste is a minor
I saw Celeste Rivas Hernandez's parents standing in the hallway waiting to go back into the D4vd hearing after lunch.
They were alone and just standing there together -- and you could feel the pain resonating from them.
***PLEASE HELP BY SHARING***
One of our followers found this photo on social media of a random family pic from Horn Island on 4 July. We believe that may be Nolan Wells in the background. We're looking for the owner of this photo and a possible time stamp? Thanks in advance! 🫡
The lottery system for getting into the D4vd hearing is odd. You get your ticket and then they put it into a metal drum and mix them all around and draw the "winners." Only 10 seats or so. I got it again today which I wasn't expecting. But people like cheer and gasp - it's odd.
🚨WOW!!!
Every Tuesday and Thursday for EIGHT YEARS STRAIGHT, a 73-year-old grandfather has volunteered at a Virginia hospital NICU to hold babies fighting for their lives, some weighing under 2 POUNDS.
And before he lays each one down, he whispers the same blessing over every baby:
"Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind." ❤️
His name is Dave Whitlow. He's 73 years old.
He's not a doctor or a nurse. He's a retired government manager, a father of two, a grandfather of three... who decided his retirement belonged to the smallest, most fragile babies in Richmond VA.
Every visit, he holds five or six of them, babies smaller than a loaf of bread, whose parents can't be there every hour because they need to work.
So Dave is there and he's never once missed a day.
"It's the best gig I've ever had. It just feels right."
He doesn't just hold the babies, he says the job is holding up the exhausted parents and the worn-down nurses too. "It all kind of gets tied together, they need God's love too."
For 8 years, every single baby gets the same blessing before he lays them down:
"Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind."
Why those words?
"This is what I want from people in general."
He says that somewhere out there in the world are eight years of kids, currently walking, running, starting school, who will never know that when they were two pounds and fighting for every breath, he held them and spoke those words over their lives.
That brings him joy.
He calls that NICU a family he never expected and can't imagine leaving.
GOD BLESS Dave Whitlow.
Grow strong. Grow smart. Grow kind. 🇺🇸
🚨WOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! 🇺🇸
The Siders 16 Children
The neighbors didn't see 16 kids, but they apparently saw Gary Siders' private parts on 4 separate occasions back in May.
Below is the law:
"Ohio Revised Code (R.C.) 2907.09. The law prohibits recklessly exposing private areas, sexual conduct, or simulating such acts in places where others can easily see."
It took a month to arrest him.
Also, can you believe back in 2021, 6 of the Siders children were known to school officials & were reported truant? The truency case was closed when officials couldn't get in touch with the parents.
Authorities knew there were issues & did nothing...

The central question in MA v. Lindsay Clancy is not simply whether she caused her children’s deaths. Her defense acknowledges that she did.
The question is whether she was legally criminally responsible when she acted.
Emotion matters. It is not the legal standard.
