Keanu Charles Reeves missed the first 20 minutes of the party dedicated to the end of filming of his new film in one of the clubs in New York.
He waited patiently in the rain to be let in.
No one recognized him.
The club owner said: "I didn't even know Keanu was standing in the rain waiting to be let in - he didn't say anything to anyone."
"He travels by public transport".
"He easily communicates with homeless people on the street and helps them".
- He is only 56 years old (September 2, 1964)
- He can just eat a hot dog in the park, sitting between ordinary people.
- After filming one of the "Matrix", he gave all the stuntmen a new motorcycle - in recognition of their skill.
- He gave up most of the fee for the salaries of costume designers and computer scientists who draw special effects in "The Matrix" - decided that their share of participation in the budget of the film was underestimated.
- He reduced his fee in the film The Devil's Advocate" to have enough money to invite Al Pacino.
- Almost at the same time his best friend died; his girlfriend lost a child and soon died in a car accident, and his sister fell ill with leukemia.
Keanu did not break: he donated $ 5 million to the clinic that treated his sister, refused to shoot (to be with her), and created the Leukemia Foundation, donating significant sums from each fee for the film.
You can be born a man, but to remain one...

He walked into the café one day, asking for some money. I looked at him and asked, "Why don’t you have a job? You know nothing is given to me for free, right?" He replied, "I have a lot of felonies, and no one wants to hire me. So, I've had to turn to the streets, surviving by stealing and begging."
That day, I was short-staffed, so I asked him, "Do you want to work? I have a job for you!" His eyes lit up, and his smile made my day. He said, "I’ll do anything for some food." For nearly two weeks now, he’s been showing up on time for his two-hour shifts, helping with tasks like taking out the trash and washing dishes.
And what does he do when I pay him? He buys food from my restaurant—and insists on paying because it makes him feel good! He even gets a discount.
This experience taught me an important lesson: we shouldn’t judge people who are out there asking for help because we don’t know their situation. Some people just need another chance. God has blessed me, so why not share that blessing with others?
This is the kind of story that should break the internet. Want to see change? Start by being the change. 😉

ON THIS DAY 47 YEARS AGO - During a July 20, 1975 concert, between songs Elvis was joking around and giving out scarves when he noticed a little girl standing on the far left of the stage. He walked over and knelt down on one knee in front of her. Realizing she was blind, Elvis held her hands and spoke to her for a few minutes. The audience could not hear as he kept the microphone away from his mouth. He then kissed his scarf and touched both her eyes with it. When he was finished he took the scarf and held it to the child's face. The little girl stood there with complete confidence in what Elvis was doing. The girl had been blind since birth.
Elvis talked to the girl’s mother after the concert and paid for the surgery to restore her sight. Today she is a computer graphic artist.

PROOF WE ARE LIVING IN A SIMULATION!! I have been scared to post this, because people are going to make fun of me or say I’m crazy, but I’ve thought something for years and I want to see if it’s just me..
All of the artisan and specialty breads at grocery stores are PROOF we are actually living in a simulation.
Nobody buys this bread. Ever. I never see it in someone’s cart. I never see someone checking out with a massive red pepper asiago loaf the size of a basketball. In all my years I’ve never walked into a friends home and been offered a baguette or a fresh slice of focaccia.
I’ve never even heard of a “Sourdough Boule” and respectfully I am not sure they even exist.
Nobody is baking these. Nobody is buying these. Nobody is eating these. They are just there. Every time. Just like last time. Being walked past.
The bread is a decoration. The bread is a simulation.

The Sart Canal Bridge, part of the Canal du Centre in Belgium, was completed in 2002 as a modern engineering marvel. Spanning 498 meters in length, 46 meters in width, and with a depth of 5.5 meters, the bridge allows vessels to traverse the Haine Valley and cross over multiple roads below without the need for locks or descending to ground level. Constructed at a cost of approximately €62 million, the bridge is a crucial piece of infrastructure within Belgium’s water transport network. It facilitates efficient and uninterrupted waterborne traffic between the Meuse and Scheldt rivers, significantly supporting both commercial shipping and tourism in the region.

This is my wife Jessica having dinner after a 14 hour day. She comes home from work, has enough time to eat and get ready for bed and it’s back to work the next day for another shift. She is up early to get ready for her day. She doesn’t like to be bothered in the morning and I respect that. She showers throws her hair up, grabs her lunch gives the dog and me a kiss, and heads out the door.
At work, she takes care of people who are having the worst days of their lives. Strokes, Car accidents, motorcycle accidents, falls, breaks, brain damage, and more. She takes care of mothers, fathers, sisters, brothers, friends, and families. It doesn’t matter who you are or what happened. She will take care of you.
She works through lunch and rarely has time to sit. She comes home after 14 hours, takes off her shoes that have walked through blood and tears, and just wants to sit down. I don’t ask her about her day because She doesn’t like to talk about work when she is home and that’s fine.
If she does want to talk, I will listen. Sometimes she comes home happy and sometimes she comes home sad. But no matter how she feels, she is always on time for her next shift.
I love her with all my heart. My wife is my hero. My wife is a Stroke Nurse.

"I had been on assignment at a Detroit Montessori school for two days, and shot hundreds of photos. Some were very good, but I knew I hadn't gotten THE shot.
That afternoon, as we all sat on the floor in a circle listening to a story, I bowed my head. When I raised my head, this little girl leaned over to lay her head on the little boy's lap. He very gently lifted his arm to receive her.
I call this photo 'The Age of Innocence." 💕💕💕

What's the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you?
My Mom! My so called dad abandoned his family for a woman next door when I was 11 with two brothers 9 and 4! He also took out a secret balloon loan on the house that my mom didn’t know about until the bank showed up and wanted full payment. This was the 60’s when a divorced woman couldn’t get any credit and was expected to go on welfare! My mother went to the bank and begged for a loan to keep a roof over our heads! They took a chance on her and she paid off a 30 year mortgage in 6 years working in a factory and raising 3 boys with an eighth grade education. She worked her fingers to the bone to give us everything we needed including college. I could never pay her back for all she did for us and she would not have taken anything if I had tried. She worked nights in the factory and came home to grow a garden, canned food and maintained the house making sure we had something to eat. She was everything to us and I still miss her every day. The picture is of my mom with her grandsons which were my sons.

There’s a little coffee shop where two people walk up to the counter and place their order.
“Five coffees, please. Two for us and three hanging.”
They pay, take their two coffees, and leave.
Curious, I ask the barista, “What are ‘hanging coffees’?”
“Wait and you’ll see,” they reply.
A few minutes later, more customers come in. Two girls order a coffee each, pay, and leave. Then, three women place an order for seven coffees – three for themselves and four hanging.
I’m still wondering what the hanging coffees are about when a man, dressed in worn clothes, approaches the counter and asks sincerely, “Do you have a hanging coffee?”
“Yes, we do, sir,” the barista replies and hands him a coffee.
That’s when it clicks. People are paying in advance for a coffee that will be given to someone who can’t afford one.
This beautiful tradition started in Naples and has since spread to cities and towns around the world. Not only can you buy a “hanging coffee,” but in some places, you can also pay ahead for a sandwich or even a full, low-cost meal for someone in need.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if we all started doing this where we live? Small acts of kindness like this could change lives in ways we may never realize.
Maybe it’s something we should all try.
What a fantastic idea! Thank you so much!
What a wonderful idea. Love it. ❤

“This Momma just cried in the middle of Target. We were at Target waiting on Grammi and we found some dinosaurs. Owen grabbed all 3 and we were trying to pick out which one he wanted when Owen abruptly yelled ‘HI’ at this older man walking past us.”
“He turned around and said ‘hey sweet boy’ he proceeded to play dinosaurs with Owen. With this crazy world we live in I was a little hesitant as to how close he was with Owen. The man got his wallet out and pulled $20 out, he put it in Owens pocket on his shirt and said ‘I just lost my 2 year old grandson last week. You take this money and buy this boy all three dinosaurs’ and rubbed Owens back, wiped his tears and walked off.
After Owen yelled ‘thank you’ the gentleman turned around and yelled boomer sooner! There is still some good in this world!”

I recently finished a patchwork quilt, and although some people might see it as a bit tacky, I truly love how it turned out. I took my time piecing it together, putting care into every detail.
It may not be perfect in everyone’s eyes, but it brings me a lot of joy and satisfaction. This quilt reflects my effort and creativity, and I’m proud of it, regardless of any criticism.❤ 🩷 🧡

An animal shelter posted something along the lines of "if you are an adult and don't want people to know you are playing pokemon, we will rent our shelter dogs to you for $5 an hour so it
looks like you are walking your dog." Haha, right? Here are some of the results so far:
1) They now have a waiting list of people who want to PAY FOR THE PRIVELAGE OF WALKING A DOG.
2) They have made so much money in "rental fees" that they have waived adoption fees
3) When the people renting the dogs are out walking, the post pictures of themselves playing the game on FB and Instagram. People are then coming to the
shelter asking to adopt specific dogs.
4) On at least two occasions, people have called the shelter and said "Hey, i didn't think I wanted a dog. But me and THIS dog get along REALLY well. I'm not bringing him back"
5) The shelter currently has no dogs avaliable to rent, and there is a waiting list. Because all of the dogs have been adopted!! They are currently bringing dogs in from a different shelter to be "rented"

Actor Zach Galifianakis paid an old homeless woman's rent for decades and spent time with her as she lost her family.
When Zach Galifianakis met Marie "Mimi" Haist, she was volunteering in a laundromat, surviving off tips left by customers. She was only allowed to sleep between the washers and dryers so customers couldn't see her.
Haist revealed that she became homeless after her divorce and had been on the streets for decades. Even though Galifianakis was an unknown comedian at the time, he found a comfortable apartment for her and paid her rent.
Galifianakis became a Hollywood star after filming alongside Bradley Cooper in the "Hangover" movie trilogy. However, his fame didn't affect his heart, and he remained down-to-earth.
He maintained a strong bond with Haist and even walked a red carpet with her as his date.
"If he's in town, he takes me ... I dress up nice, and a friend helps me with my makeup. It's fun, not something I've ever dreamed I'd experience. The limo takes me home afterward," revealed Haist.
Their friendship lasted nearly 27 years until she died at 96 years old.

There is an elderly lady that lives next door to me and she's by herself and she has a little bit of a hard time getting around, and I cut the grass for her. Today I walked over to her house and ask her if she had dinner yet, and she said no. I asked her what she was going to have and she's probably just a hot dog, I told her hang on for a second do you have a plate that I can borrow and she said yes. So I came next door and this is what I brought to her for dinner. When she seen this she had the biggest smile on her face and her eyes lit up and it made me really happy to see that expression on her face. Later on in the evening she sent me a message telling me thank you for the dinner and it was really good and that made my night

Powerful.. Joshua Dyer (aged 14) was tasked at school to write a poem for Remembrance Day. An hour later (without any help) he produced this..
ONE THOUSAND MEN ARE WALKING
One thousand men are walking
Walking side by side
Singing songs from home
The spirit as their guide
They walk toward the light milord,
they walk towards the sun
they smoke and laugh and smile together
no foes to outrun.
These men live on forever
in the hearts of those they saved
a nation truly grateful
for the path of peace they paved.
They march as friends and comrades
but they do not march for war
step closer to salvation
a tranquil steady corps
the meadows lit with golden beams
a beacon for the brave
the emerald grass untrampled
a reward for what they gave.
They dream of those they left behind
and know they dream of them
forever in those poppy fields
there walks one thousand men
Joshua Dyer 2019 (aged 14)
Lest we forget
This has to be shared. An incredible poem from 14 year old Joshua Dyer

"Hi- I asked my local Harris Teeter grocery store in Virginia if they had a shopping cart that I could put my 91 year old mother in. She likes to go with me to get her groceries but can no longer walk all the isles. The options left me are to leave her in the car with it running or she has to stay at home. Neither were good options. Turns out they had a Caroline's Cart and it worked perfect! I feel like your company has created a resource that could be so wonderful for elderly seniors. Examining the choices available in the lobby for carts, there are standard ones, miniature versions for children, and motorized ones, particularly beneficial for those who still possess the driving aptitude. Nothing for elderly who have limited physical abilities at advanced ages but who still live and home and like to get out. By including seniors, caregivers can give seniors an option to get out of their recliners and back into the stores and living....... it was a wonderful product! Thank you!!"
