Five months ago, I met Anne and Kevin, who were living on the street. About a month later, they upgraded from a tent to a car. I jumped in to help them fix up the car, and soon after, Kevin landed a job. I made sure he had everything he needed to start working and even helped with gas for the first month or so while he got settled in.
I told them that if they saved enough to find a place, I would match whatever they had. The following week, we successfully got them into a home. I covered the deposit and the first week’s rent, which was $800.
Anne received a grant to start school and needed a tablet or laptop, so I got her a device she could use for her studies. Not long after that, their car broke down, and to keep them on the right track, I gave them my old Honda Civic.
They have been off the streets and thriving for over three months now. We celebrated Anne's birthday last Friday by going out for a delicious steak dinner!
Today and tomorrow, I’ll be sharing our journey together to show how far they’ve come. Thank you all for your amazing support; I couldn’t have done any of this without you!

In 1940, when the N***s threatened to take over Paris, the Jewish couple Hans and Margret Rey decided to flee. Hans built two bicycles from spare parts and set off on their journey. Among the few things they took with them was a manuscript - the basis for the famous children's book Curious George.
After a dangerous escape, they made it to the United States, where the book was later published and became a timeless classic of children's literature. Their story shows not only their courage and ingenuity, but also how creativity and hope can survive even in dark times.

Eating in the 50s
Pasta was not commonly eaten.
Curry was a surname.
A takeaway was a mathematical problem.
A pizza was associated with a leaning tower.
Crisps were plain; the only choice we had was whether to add salt or not.
Rice was only served as a milk pudding.
A raincoat was what we wore when it rained.
Brown bread was considerd food only for the poor.
Oil was for lubricating; fat was for cooking.
Tea was brewed in a teapot using tea leaves, and green tea was unheard of.
Sugar was highly regarded, considered "white gold," and cubed sugar was seen as luxurious.
Fish didn’t have fingers.
Eating raw fish was seen as poverty, not sushi.
None of us had ever heard of yogurt.
Healthy food consisted of anything edible.
People who didn’t peel potatoes were viewed as lazy.
Indian restaurants existed only in India.
Cooking outdoors was called camping.
Seaweed was not recognized as food.
"Kebab" wasn’t even a word, let alone a type of food.
Prunes were considered medicinal.
Surprisingly, muesli was available, but it was called cattle feed.
Water came straight from the tap; if someone had suggested bottling it and charging more than petrol, they would have been laughed at!
And the things we never, ever had on our table in the 50s and 60s: elbows or phones.

The little girl in this photograph is Ruby Crane. From the young age of 3 years old, she spent her days at St Dunstan’s Rehabilitation Centre in Brighton, Suss*x—helping blinded soldiers returning from World War I.

Ruby’s father was the head gardener, and as she wandered the grounds, she would take the soldiers by the hand and guide them to their workshops, asking where they wanted to go. She knew they couldn’t see and just wanted to help.

Her kindness deeply moved those around her. People sent dolls and toys to thank her for the support she gave to the men and women who had lost their sight. Ruby was so beloved that she was featured on the front page of St Dunstan’s first Annual Report (1915/1916), and later, Flag Day emblems were designed in her honor.

Years later, Ruby recalled:

"I always remember how my little hand seemed so small in their big hands… They were so pleased to have a child come and talk to them. It was something different—away from the monotonous grind of not being able to see things, I think."

Ruby was rewarded with a long life, passing away in 2011 in her late nineties. But her legacy of kindness lives on. ❤️

This is an actual extract from a s*x education textbook for girls, printed in the early 1960's in the UK. As far as we have come, we have so far to go!!
“When retiring to the bedroom, prepare yourself for bed as promptly as posible. Whilst feminine hygiene is of the utmost importance, your tired husband does not want to queue for the bathroom, as he would have to do for his train. But remember to look your best when going to bed. Try to achieve a look that is welcoming without being obvious. If you need to apply face cream or hair-rollers wait until he is asleep as this can be shocking to a man last thing at night.
When it comes to the possibility of intimate relatons with your husband it is important to remember your marriage vows and in particular your commitment to obey him. If he feels that he needs to sleep immediately then so be it. In all things be led by your husband's wishes; do not pressure him in any way to stimulate intimacy. Should your husband suggest Congress then agree humbly all the while being mindful that a man's satisfaction is more important than a woman's. When he reaches his moment of fulfillment a small moan from yourself is encouraging to him and quite sufficient to indicate any enjoyment that you may have had.
Should your husband suggst any of the more unusual practices be obedient and uncomplaining but register any reluctance by remaining silent. It is likely that your husband will then fall promptly asleep so adjust your clothing, freshen up, and apply your night-time face and hair care products. You may then set the alarm so that you can arise shortly before him in the morning. This will enable you to have his morning cup of tea ready when he awakes.”

As long as Demi Moore continues to support and care for Bruce Willis, I will continue to believe in true love.

Bruce Willis and Demi Moore share a bond that goes beyond definition. They met in 1987, married shortly after, and became one of Hollywood’s most beloved couples in the 1990s. Their love brought three beautiful daughters into the world: Rumer, Scout, and Tallulah.

Even after their divorce in 2000, they maintained a strong and genuine connection. Demi has remained by Bruce’s side during his most challenging times, proving that affection can evolve without ever breaking. Their story is a testament to the idea that love may change form, but it can endure through respect and a commitment to family.

Found this poor beautiful baby at the side of the road right at Graham and Sam Cooper.
I am so very sorry. Please forgive me. I am new to this, I've never done this before and I was just desperate to find someone who this beautiful little angel girl belongs to because I know if any of my fur babies, who I think of as my children were left on the side of the road like a piece of trash I would have wanted someone to at least try to get them to me anyway possible so I could hold them and kiss them and love them one last time before I had to let them go and never see them or hug them or kiss them again. I'm so sorry If I triggered anyone, please forgive me.

Ida and Louise Cook were unmarried sisters in their mid thirties who lived with their parents. One wrote romance novels for Mills and Boon (England’s Harlequin equivalent) and the other commuted from their sleepy London suburb to work as a secretary for the civil service. They wore home made clothes and shared a love of opera. They loved opera so much, they would go to Germany for the weekend just to see the opera there. In the 1930’s.
No one paid attention to them crossing the border, a couple of dowdy women in their homemade clothes, nor on the return trip with their furs and jewels. What Ida and Louise were doing, in addition to going to their beloved opera, was collecting valuables from would be refugees to help them in their new lives. The sisters would find people who would vouch for the refugees, find people willing to home them, assemble papers for them, and even rented an apartment as a temporary space for refugees just arrived. The sisters used their own money for this, so the refugees could sell their valuables for money to help them settle in.
The women entered and left through different checkpoints, so the same guards wouldn’t be able to notice their sudden acquisition of too much jewelry, and created a lie about the valuables in their purses as ‘we can’t trust them in our apartment when we aren’t there!’ They acted simple and foolish and were never caught. They did eventually halt their visits over the border, after directly rescuing 29 people (mostly families), but they did not stop working. They continued to raise money and awareness, and to help refugees in England.
The sisters were honored as Righteous Among the Nations by Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, in 1964.
Ida wrote a memoir that was republished as “Safe Passage” in 2008. In it she plays down their role, saying that what they offered wasn’t much. In exchange for saving lives, they only needed “some trouble, some eloquence, and some money.”

"Today, I responded to a call of an unwanted guest begging for money at a gas station.

When I arrived, I see an older male that appeared to be homeless by the looks of his clothes and the fact that he had carpet tied to each foot acting as shoes.

After I get past the necessary, I ask him what size shoe he wears because I was going to get him shoes. As I'm talking to him, a K9 Deputy goes to his truck and gets an old pair of $200 boots and gives them to him.

Just happens they both have small 9 1/2 feet. Lol. The guy instantly put a smile on his face.

Just goes to show you, we all aren't bad guys! We do protect and SERVE!"

Did you know Sable Island is a narrow, remote sand island located in the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada. Known for its crescent-moon shape, the island is famous for its population of wild horses, which live freely, and its unique ecosystem, which includes various bird species and plants adapted to its windy and arid climate. It's also recognized for its history as a big-movie “cemetery of shipwrecks,” due to the shallow sandbanks surrounding it. Currently, it is a protected nature reserve and an environmental research site.
A fun fact about Sable Island is that it has more wild horses than human inhabitants. These horses, descendants of animals brought in the 18th century, survive in complete freedom and have adapted to the extreme surroundings of the island.
