Una victoria para la humanidad:
"Encontraron los abrigos el jueves por la mañana. Quince abrigos de invierno. Buenos buenos, no basura. Colgado de la valla de malla metálica fuera de la escuela primaria Lincoln. Ninguna nota. Sin explicación. Solo abrigos, cerrados como fantasmas esperando cuerpos. El director Morris se volvió loco. Llamé a la policía. "Podría ser robado", dijo. "Podría ser algún tipo de broma."
Pero entonces Kayla Martinez, de ocho años, dijo que su madre trabajaba de noche limpiando oficinas y que este año no podía permitirse un abrigo de invierno. Llevaba tres sudaderas con capucha en capas. Tocó una morada en la valla, del tamaño adecuado, y susurró: "¿Puedo?" La señora Álvarez, la profesora de educación física, dijo que sí antes de que nadie pudiera detenerla. Para la comida, los quince abrigos habían desaparecido. Quince niños que habían estado temblando durante el recreo estaban cálidos. ¿El jueves siguiente? Veinte capas. Valla diferente, mismo barrio, fuera del centro comunitario. Luego aparecieron treinta abrigos en el refugio del centro. Luego mantas. Luego botas de invierno. Ninguna cámara captó nunca quién lo hizo. No hay reclamaciones en redes sociales. Solo... abrigos. Todos los jueves. Todo el invierno.
Las noticias lo recogieron. Los llamaba "El Ángel de la Valla." Entrevisté a familias agradecidas. Pero nadie lo sabía.
Hasta marzo.
Murió un anciano, Earl Hutchins, setenta y un años, vivía solo en un apartamento en el sótano de la Cuarta Calle. Cuando vaciaron su local, encontraron recibos. Recibos de tiendas de segunda mano. Cientos de ellos. Había estado comprando todos los abrigos decentes de invierno que encontraba, gastando todo su cheque de discapacidad y colgándolos por la noche.
Su sobrino encontró una entrada de diario: "Perdí a mi hijo por la exposición en 2004. Estaba sin hogar, orgulloso, no aceptaba limosnas. Se congeló detrás de un contenedor con una camiseta. Si pongo abrigos en una valla, nadie tiene que pedirlo. Nadie tiene que admitir que necesita ayuda. Simplemente lo aceptan. Dignidad intacta."
Soy Kayla Martínez. Ahora tengo dieciséis. Ese abrigo morado me sirvió para pasar cuarto de primaria. Nunca conocí a Earl. Nunca pude dar las gracias.
Pero el pasado noviembre, llevé el dinero de mi niñera a Goodwill. Compré seis capas. Los colgó en esa misma valla.
Mis amigos lo vieron. Compraron abrigos. Luego sus padres lo hicieron. Luego el instituto empezó una recogida de abrigos, no para un contenedor, sino para la valla.
El jueves pasado hubo 200 capas. También pañuelos. Guantes. Ahora lo llamamos "Earl's Fence". Hay uno en Detroit. Uno en Manchester. Uno en Vancouver.
Nunca conocí al hombre que me salvó de congelarme. Pero me estoy convirtiendo en él, una capa a la vez.
Porque el mejor tipo de ayuda no pide crédito. Simplemente queda ahí, en silencio, esperando que manos frías encuentren calor."
Que esta historia llegue a más corazones. 💜

I’ll die on this hill: Teach your children to pray so if their little hearts feel heavy, they can go to God and not the world.

[Manchester News MEN @MENnewsdesk]

Thirteen-year-old Jake passed away just two weeks before his 14th birthday after what his mum thought was just severe hay fever turned out to be an aggressive cancer 💔

Before he was diagnosed, Jake's mum Lynsey was giving him antihistamines before school because he had a stuffy nose and watery eyes.

She put his sheer exhaustion down to the warm summer weather and the end of the school term.

But when a swelling appeared across the bridge of his nose, an X-ray at Salisbury District Hospital revealed a mass in his nasal cavity.

Jake was diagnosed with stage 3 fusion-positive alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, a rare soft-tissue cancer, in July 2023.

He went through nine rounds of chemotherapy and 28 sessions of proton beam radiotherapy in London, but the cancer still spread to his lymph nodes.

When further chemotherapy caused severe seizures that placed him in intensive care, Jake made the brave decision to stop his treatment entirely.

Lynsey said he was incredibly calm about it, simply telling her, "We tried our best."

He even managed to joke that at least he wouldn't have to deal with the cost-of-living crisis.

Jake passed away peacefully at home on April 26, 2024.

Before he died, he gave strict instructions for his own funeral, asking for a blue coffin and for 'Here Comes The Sun' by the Beatles to be played 💙

His final wish to his mum was that he wanted to be well-known and not forgotten.

Lynsey is now honouring that promise by joining forces with a children's cancer charity and studying radiotherapy at the University of Liverpool.

RIP Jake, you won't be forgotten 🕊️

🚨 THE MISSISSIPPI MIRACLE THEY DON’T WANT YOU TO SEE 

American 15-year-olds just posted near-WORST scores ever on a key global reading and math test.

Meanwhile Mississippi, once ranked 47th in 4th grade reading… is now 9th.

Adjust for demographics?

NUMBER ONE in the nation in 4th grade reading and math.

NUMBER ONE in 8th grade math.

A Black child in Mississippi is 2.5X more likely to be proficient in reading by 4th grade than a child in California.

They spend about $11,000 LESS per student than Massachusetts and they’re beating them.

How?
Science of reading.
3rd grade retention if you can’t read.
Charters in failing districts.
School choice for special needs.
RAISED standards, not lowered them.

Governor Tate Reeves: conservative reforms + accountability work for EVERY kid.

Blue states keep dumbing it down.

Mississippi raised the bar, and the kids met it.

This is the model. Copy it.

I love how Praying can immediately calm your heart and give you peace. Never underestimate the power of prayer.

[Hillbilly @JamesHu27192912]

Lord, I am crying out and lifting up ALL of our Adult children. I am standing before the courts of Heaven.
God, you loaned them to us and I declare and decree that NO weapon formed against them shall prosper! I cancel every assignment of the enemy that seeks to destroy them. I plead the Blood of Jesus over them...
THEY SHALL LIVE AND NOT DIE and they shall declare the works of the Lord in the land of the living!
They SHALL be successful. They SHALL prosper.
They SHALL receive favor in abundance! I boldly anticipate and declare it done, in the Mighty Name of Jesus!!! Amen
I challenge all Parents to repost. At this time our children and grandchildren need prayers. There is POWER in our prayers for our children and grandchildren... AMEN,

Maturing is realizing when you wake up randomly at 3am or 4am you’re supposed to pray. Over your home, over your children. Then sit and listen to what God tells you to do next

[The journey of A Christian lady @ThejourneyofACL]

The Bible repeatedly shows that God restores people who thought their stories were over. I do not know what phase of life you’re in right now, but I just want to remind you that God is not done with you yet. 🥹❤️
