Just do it for the future of the country -- a non-partisan issue. --> will not incentivize illegals to cross the border and baby spit. Amend `U.S. Citizenship By Birth.` "Citizenship by birth" should be granted only to children born to U.S. citizens and permanent residents. In addition, at least one parent must be a U.S. citizen or a permanent resident (Green Card Holder). Children born to a person under any other visa (temporary - H1B/L1, etc.) category and those illegally residing in the U.S. should NOT be granted automatic Citizenship by Birth. England did the same in 1983. Post this on the door of every member of Congress in your state and all concerned voters in the community.

This poor soul must have been miserable between a sick husband and probably unable to care for him and really not able to care for the house on her own so things just went downhill. Thank you to her neighbors for stepping up and stepping in. That is a tremendous sacrifice to be in a small home with 10 people in it. May God richly bless this family for taking her in!

@rckstein1057 Жыл бұрын

And what's even sadder, there are probably a lot more people in the same situation. You never know what may be going on inside someone's home, what personal issues they may be facing, and they probably don't know how to or whom to ask for help from. Fortunately for this lady, she had a very caring neighbor, that didn't turn a blind eye on someone in their time of need.

My uncle lived in a remote area. He had conditions that caused pain and I'm sure associated depression. He became a "hoarder" out of convenience, with no interaction with neighbors and inability to do for himself. Life is unkind for the very elderly in much of the United States...where so many lack the ability to care for or respect the elderly. Even hospitals and "nursing" homes.

Teaching kids to care for and remember their elders is so damn important. I don't have a whole lot of people in my life, but I've always had at least *someone* to turn to if needed. I can't imagine being alone at that age, with probably very few realistic ways to make money, in a world that's already a nightmare to live in even if you make 50/60/70k+ per year. It's so incredibly sad to think about, so it's always uplifting to see stories like this one.

That widow gave me so much more back than I ever expected or even felt like I deserved. I don't recall her first name, but her last name was Freeman....so glad I had the honor of helping her out.

This made me tear up thank you. What a beautiful blessed family they are, really gorgeous on the outside and inside. Thank you for making her part of your beautiful family. I really feel bad when I see elders myself I can’t take it when I see them suffer. I immediately tear up because one day that could be us. May all the elders receive such warm welcome and respect like this incredible family did for her. I saw another video like this where they adopted a grandpa it was so sweet. I’m blessed to have seen such heart warming videos. This is what humanity is should be all about love and compassion without any baggage of our differences to divide us. We are all the human race and God created us, that is all that should matter. May God bless this new family richly and may they stay together forever. ❤💛
