In 2015, school principal Jason Smith met a 12-year-old girl named Raven. She was sitting outside his office after being suspended from the sixth grade.
"She looked like such a sweet, innocent child, sitting there feeling down," Jason said. "I asked her what had happened, and she told me she threw a cup of yogurt at lunch and got suspended. She was just waiting to be picked up."
Jason asked if she would ever throw food in a restaurant, and Raven told him she’d never been to one. She also explained that she didn’t really have a family, as she had spent most of her life living in group homes and moving around in the foster care system.
Jason felt like Raven really needed something good to happen to her for once. "She needed someone to help her," he said.
Jason and his wife, Marybeth, had struggled with infertility for a long time. The moment they met Raven, they both knew she was meant to be part of their family. Raven was grateful to find a loving home, and today, she’s studying social work at the University of Kentucky.

In the heart of the Victorian era, as England clung tightly to rigid customs and even tighter corsets, one woman managed to set trends without uttering much at all: Alexandra of Denmark, wife of Edward VII and an undeniable icon of her time. With her graceful presence, beauty, and quiet charisma, she captivated the upper class. Women across Britain eagerly mimicked her style, down to the smallest detail—not knowing that much of her elegance was born not from luxury, but from personal pain.
Alexandra was rarely seen without high collars or ornate chokers that completely concealed her neck. For years, no one knew why—until it was revealed that she wore them to hide a long scar. What began as a deeply private choice soon sparked a nationwide fashion craze. Chokers and high necklines became all the rage, simply because Alexandra wore them. Her silent, subtle response to insecurity turned into a symbol of regal refinement.
Later, during her third pregnancy, Alexandra contracted rheumatic fever, which left her with a stiff leg and a permanent limp. Remarkably, her graceful adaptation to this condition only enhanced her mystique. So admired was she, that some women of high society began to walk with canes and even imitate her limp in a bizarre gesture of admiration. Alexandra didn’t just influence fashion—she transformed her scars, both hidden and visible, into powerful symbols of poise and dignity.
In 1946, Clabe Hicks, a coal miner in Bradshaw, McDowell County, West Virginia, shared a cramped four-room house with his wife and their eight children. Life was anything but easy. Though rent cost just \$11 a month, the true price was paid in discomfort and struggle. The house was barely more than a shell—offering little insulation against the bitter Appalachian winters. Despite these conditions, the Hicks family poured their limited time and resources into improving their home. Bit by bit, they managed to install electrical wiring and running water, a rare feat in their mining community.
Mrs. Hicks recalled the daily hardships they endured, especially the inadequate tar-paper roof provided by the mining company. It leaked in the rain and offered no real shelter in snowstorms. The family added a sink and repapered the walls in an effort to make the space livable, but nothing could disguise the structural fragility or the dampness that clung to every surface. Their story mirrored that of countless coal mining families—left to fend for themselves while corporations prioritized profits over basic human dignity.
Photographer Russell Lee documented the Hicks family as part of a broader effort to shine a light on the lives of Appalachian miners. His lens captured not just poverty, but resilience—children studying by bare bulbs, a mother repurposing scraps to keep the household running, a father shouldering the weight of survival underground. These images and stories exposed the cost of coal beyond the mine shafts, honoring the quiet, unbreakable spirit of families who faced hardship with courage and grit.
Lily, a quiet little girl, entered a police dog auction holding a jar of coins. She wasn’t there out of curiosity—she wanted to bring home Max, the retired police dog who had worked with her late mother, Officer Hannah Parker.
After losing her mom, Lily stopped speaking but kept her mother’s lessons close: love deeply and never quit.
While bids climbed past $3,000, Lily quietly placed her $52.16 offer. Some chuckled—until Max barked, broke loose, and ran straight to her, sitting faithfully at her side.
Silence filled the room. Touched by their connection, others withdrew their bids, allowing Lily to be reunited with Max.
This moment was more than money—it was about devotion, loyalty, and hope. (check in the first comment👇)
When Andrew was six years old, a judge decided that his parents could no longer take care of him. So he was placed in foster care. His brothers and sisters were eventually adopted, but Andrew remained alone. When he turned ten, he finally arrived in the home of Dominique and Kevin Gill in Nashville, Tennessee. Dominique said, “During his first week with us, he sat in his room with the door closed and looked at old pictures. He didn't want to talk.”
Andrew was full of hurt, and pushed people away. He yelled, "Just let me move out!" But Dominique refused to give up on him. She softly told him, "We are going to get you together." Over time, Andrew was able to control his emotions. Everything changed when Dominique and Kevin's son Joc asked Andrew a question. Joc said, “Do you want to play video games." Andrew nodded and from that moment on something beautiful happened.
When Dominique and Kevin saw how close the boys had grown, they asked Andrew a life-changing question. They asked him if he would be their son. Andrew burst into tears and said, "Yes. Thank you for accepting me. Thank you for not giving up on me." Every child deserves a family that truly loves them.

It was sweltering in Fayetteville when Melissa was just trying to get her daughter out of the heat… when suddenly, the wheel on her daughter’s brand new wheelchair stroller popped off.
That’s when three strangers stepped in.
Total strangers, but total angels.
They helped get the wheel back on so Melissa and her daughter Brianna could continue their day.
“It was so hot out there,” Melissa said. “We are so blessed that God let these families come up just as the wheel came off.”
She’s planning to call their wheelchair tech, just to be safe, but she wanted to share her gratitude for the people who stopped to help.
