YouTube Pranksters Behind VitalyzdTv Give Homeless Man New Teeth In Touching 'Extreme Homeless Makeover' (VIDEO) |
Though Martin has faced harassment from other homeless people, he says his life has been changed by being featured on Zdorovetskiy's YouTube channel. He attributes his new job, his appearance and even getting back together with his wife to the strength thousands of viewers have helped him find.
Now employed, Martin makes triple what he did on the street, and reminds us to have faith that it is possible to overcome all weaknesses.
I can't tell you how many times I am writing to a person I have met on FaceBook and they will tell me that they don't watch the World News, or the news at all because everything that they watch is BAD. Well it is my goal to continue to bring out the good stories because only in seeing these things will people begin to believe in good things can happen to every day people like themselves. But the GIVING has got to begin in YOU!
Shirley (my Mother In Law) with a new shirt for Mother's Day! |
Every year we donate to our local rescue mission. We do so a number of times a year. Sometimes (like on Friday of this week) we will take the clothes that I no longer wear or this year it will be that my Mother In Law left behind (when she passed away on Feb. 15, 2013) to the facet of the rescue mission for the women and children who live there in their building.
Saturday (11/9/13) would have been my Mother in Law's 91st birthday if she were still here and it will be very hard to face this first one without her. Seventeen years of the best birthdays (not counting the year she knew she was going to have her cancer surgery on Dec. 24, 2009) with her. We always made a major celebration of this day with however many people we could get together with her. Please pray/send positive thoughts to my husband and I this year.
Are there ways that you celebrate those who have passed on in your life on their birthdays? And in our story here we learned of pranksters who did something really wonderful for a homeless man. Do you have any thoughts after reading/watching that story? I would love to read them here on comments or on my fan group on FaceBook at: https://www.facebook.com/Chattingwithcarolyn anywhere on the topics or in private in my MESSAGES there. Thank you so very much!

ReplyDeleteOh that is good news! I like inspiring stories. I'm one of those people who don't watch the news because it's so negative.
