This is my grandmother Amelia. She recently made this blanket, and I told her I would show it here in the x and that it would be a big hit. She loved the idea.
This is Wesley, he is a Cashier at Walmart in Sydney River, and he made my day today!
I rolled into the store and asked a clerk if I could get some assistance with picking out a few items. I could see this young guy beyond her checking out a family, and before the clerk could respond, he said, ‘I will help her (me)’. As we shopped, I learned a little bit about him. His name is Wesley, and he has been working at Walmart for 10 months. Wesley was from Glace Bay, but could not find employment there, because he has a disability (he has a mild form of Cerebral Palsy and a slight limp).
He was so grateful to Walmart for giving him an opportunity to prove that beyond his disability, was a lot of ability. I was taken up by his enthusiasm, and asked him if I could take his picture and share his story. Of course, he agreed!
I am hoping that you will share this story; and that other people with disabilities will be given the opportunity that you were afforded, Wesley. Kudos to Walmart, for believing in him!”

Breakthrough Moment💕
You might remember the frightened mum cat and kittens we rescued from inside an old car last weekend. It’s only been a week since they came into our care, but yesterday felt like a really special step forward. Mum is still very nervous, her ears stay flat, her eyes are constantly wide, and she still throws in the odd hiss to remind us she’s not quite sure about humans yet, but yesterday, for the first time, she felt comfortable enough to come over and take food whilst Carolyn sat quietly beside her. For a frightened mum cat, that’s a huge bit of progress. Despite being scared herself, she continues to be an absolutely brilliant mum to her kittens who already seem to love every bit of attention they can get!
She’s still learning that she’s safe, but little moments like this are exactly how trust begins ❤️ Sharing our posts really, really helps our vital work

This is one of my favorite memories of my mom, dancing to the Bee Gees at 91 years old, with her portable oxygen and her beautiful smile. Graceful, joyful, strong, and full of life until the very end. I miss her every single day. Happy Heavenly Birthday Mom! 👩 😍
