Wow, he's already 8! I've watched that kid grow up and he's growing fast!
Such a cute and sweet little boy!
 
My neighbors and good friends have some money problems. For 3 years their SUV had no AC or Heat 🥶. Couldn’t afford to get it fixed. Last month I gave them $900.00 to get it fixed and they did. I’m trying to buy my way into Heaven lol

Each year, a soccer team in Spain called Real Betis has their fans throw stuffed/soft toys onto the pitch which get donated to disadvantaged children so that no child goes without a gift for Christmas.

I've always like Kate Winslet... good on her for this

A schoolgirl who is gradually losing her sight due to Stargardt disease was left astounded when her favourite actress, Kate Winslet, invited her for a theatre night. Lily-Rae Merchant-O'Hanlon, 12, is ticking off her "visual bucket list" with help from the A-list actress.

Emma Merchant, Lily-Rae's mother, had set up a GoFundMe page to help her daughter enjoy as many visual experiences as possible before her sight deteriorates further. The first trip was to see the Northern Lights, made possible by a generous £5,000 donation from Titanic star Kate Winslet.

Touched by Lily-Rae’s courageous fight, the Oscar-winning actress also invited her for a theatre night in London. They watched My Neighbour Totoro at London’s Barbican Theatre last month.

Winslet also arranged for Lily-Rae to feed tigers at Knowsley Safari Park, another item on her list. Emma said: "It just felt like we'd known each other forever. Kate was very, very welcoming, it sounds like a funny thing to say, but she was just very normal, very humble."

Just yesterday I saw a video online of Kate agreeing to be interviewed by a young girl (about 12ish). The young girl was incredibly nervous. Kate was so kind and patient......she helped her along the way, made her feel comfortable and confident. The two finished the interview as good friends. I wish I saved it but I watched it and thought 'how nice' and that Kate seems like a really nice person as well as being a gifted actress.
 
OK, she's not 12ish lol but she's a young journalist.
I mean how many famous people are this kind?

 
Time to say goodbye to 2024 & hello to 2025. Hoping everyone has a happy, healthy, fun new year. Remember one person can't change the world but if we all work together we can help make the world a better place. Happy New Year everyone :) love you all ❤️
