When you’re a parent‚ all you want to do is keep your kid safe‚ happy‚ and healthy. That’s why it’s been so tough for Melanie Droubay to send her toddler‚ Huddy‚ to preschool. This is the first time he’ll be out in the world without her‚ something that’s stressful for any parent. But Melanie is open about the fact that‚ because Huddy has Down syndrome‚ she feels all-the-more protective. Throughout his three years of life‚ Melanie says that she’s always been there to stand up for him‚ ensuring nothing bad happens to her sweet son. Still‚ she recognizes that she can’t always be with Huddy. With this in mind‚ Melanie has added positive affirmations into their morning routine. Toddler With Down Syndrome Says Positive Affirmations for Kids Before Preschool @ourhuddybuddy I cried when I took Huddy to his first day of preschool. I cried because it was the beginning of me not always being there with him… to protect him‚ to stand up for him‚ to make sure nothing happens to him. It was the beginning of sending him out into this world on his own. And it’s a little bit terrifying to do that‚ especially as a parent of a child with a disability. I know I can’t be with him forever. But…. I’m hoping that these daily affirmations we say together CAN be. I hope these words we say together every morning will always be there in the back of his mind‚ reminding him of how worthy‚ valued and loved he is. That even when I’m not there with him‚ he’ll be able to remember my voice saying: You are strong You are smart You are beautiful You are brave You are kind You are loved #positiveaffirmations #positivetalk #downsyndrome #toddlerlife #downsyndromefamily #downsyndromeisbeautiful #differentisbeautiful #differentnotless #extrachromosome #lovedoesntcountchromosomes #advocatelikeamother #bepositive #dailyaffirmations #utahmom #utahlife #morealikethandifferent #changingperceptions #youaresmart #youarestrong #youarebrave #youarebeautiful #youarekind #youareworthy #youareloved #youareperfect ♬ A Gentle Sunlight – James Quinn “I know I can’t be with him forever‚” Melanie shares. “But…. I’m hoping that these daily affirmations we say together CAN be.” In order to inspire others‚ Melanie shared a video of their daily positive affirmations. In it‚ we see a smiling Huddy say simple yet empowering phrases like I am strong‚ I am smart‚ and I am beautiful. Mom’s goal is for these words‚ and the feelings associated with them‚ to stay with him throughout his day. TikTok “I hope these words we say together every morning will always be there in the back of his mind‚ reminding him of how worthy‚ valued and loved he is‚” Melanie writes. “That even when I’m not there with him‚ he’ll be able to remember my voice saying: You are strong. You are smart. You are beautiful. You are brave. You are kind. You are loved.” You can find the source of this story’s featured image here!

Every year‚ people give money to charities‚ and we are celebrating the most generous celebrities of 2023. The billionaire donors who share their vast wealth with charities are topping the list. Warren Buffet plans on giving his entire bundle to charities on his death. We want to celebrate those who have less but are still giving away great gobs. You’ll recognize many celebrity donors using their money and influence to help millions. They aren’t always celebrated as much as the billionaire donors‚ but their contributions make a huge difference in many areas. 1. Shaquille O’Neal — “I’m just a regular person” Image from Instagram. Shaq is larger than life‚ literally. This huge teddy bear of a man has a HUGE soft spot for the kids. Shaq made much of his money as a National Basketball Association (NBA) star player. He created the Shaquille O’Neal Foundation and supports Boys &; Girls Clubs nationwide. The totals for 2023 haven’t been posted yet‚ but you can follow his fundraising efforts and giving on Instagram. The results are in Shaq — you are not just a regular person; you are a superstar! 2. No List Of Generous Celebrities Is Complete Without Dolly Parton Image from YouTube. Dolly Parton never stops giving back. The country music star received the Carnegie Medal of Philanthropy in 2022 for supporting charitable foundations. One of Dolly’s ongoing contributions is the Imagination Library. Dolly sends millions of books to children under five to bring them the joy of reading. You can watch a video about this awesome worldwide program here. The Imagination Library is just one of many charitable contributions made by this singing sensation. We don’t have enough room to list everything‚ but if there is a need‚ you can be almost certain Dolly is “meddling” to decrease the gap. She has funded scholarships‚ COVID research‚ disaster relief efforts‚ and more. Dolly is definitely giving back.

The Kansas City shootings were horrific. What should have been a joyous celebration for the city became a scene of misery and chaos. The day’s heroes should have been Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs football players. They just won their second Super Bowl in a row‚ with three big wins in the last five years. The little team from nowhere was on top of the world. And then the shots rang out. The players‚ coaches‚ and nearby family members went to the stadium and safety. But Patrick Mahomes’s brother‚ Jackson Mahomes‚ was left behind. Image from Instagram. The shootings injured 22 people‚ with one fatality‚ Lisa Lopez-Galvan‚ who left behind two small children. The area around Union Station was in chaos as people ran for safety amidst the upheaval. Jackson Mahomes has had a variety of problems lately. He could have left the scene‚ and no one would have noticed. His brother was the hero. Jackson didn’t need to be one. His brother‚ Patrick‚ and mother‚ Randi (pictured above)‚ had already returned to the stadium. But Jackson Mahomes didn’t leave. He stayed in the thick of the turmoil and stepped forward to help. Posting on the social media platform X‚ a woman named Jess said‚ “I don’t care what anyone says but I have found a new found respect for Jackson Mahomes. Ana and I were stuck hiding with him at union station by the trains and he was taking care of a child who lost his parents and helping him calm down.” Heroes Stepped Forward After The Kansas City Shootings Not only did Jackson Mahomes stay and help calm down the child‚ but he also helped the child find his way to the police so the parents could be located. His brother Patrick may have been the hero of the Super Bowl‚ but Jackson Mahomes won his hero credentials in the aftermath of the tragic Kansas City shootings. Pictured below with his niece‚ Sterling‚ Jackson seems to have a soft spot for kids‚ and that was on full display after the Kansas City shootings. Image from Instagram. Regardless of the troubles lingering in his life‚ Jackson Mahomes put himself out there during the Kansas City shootings to help a kid. That should count for something in the sea of public opinion. Several other people stepped forward that day to become heroes‚ including Chiefs offensive lineman Trey Smith‚ who reassured a terrified little boy‚ and Chiefs coach Andy Reid‚ who comforted a frantic teen. While it is great to celebrate the athletes and their win‚ let’s not forget to celebrate these other heroes. The ones who didn’t make the news reports. Whether they helped one person or a dozen‚ they helped‚ making them all heroes. As the people of Kansas City work to recover from this tragedy‚ give them a thought. Send out a prayer for the families of the victims. Be thankful that people like Jackson Mahomes were there to help the kids. You can find the source of this story’s featured image here.
