Teen Boy Accepts Stranger’s Offer For Ride Home Not Knowing He Will Change His Home
Life is about survival. Many people will wait for something incredible to happen to them. Others, make it happen themselves.
When you’re pushed to the brink, you can do the unthinkable. Chauncey Black, a teenager, felt that enough was enough. It was time for him to look fate in the eye.
While inside the Highland Kroger in the affluent part of town, he asked a stranger for a request. This would alter the course of his life…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
Chauncey Black had a rough upbringing. Even though he lived with his mother, he was often unable to feed himself. There was just nothing to eat. He was basically starving.
Ultimately, he decided he could do only one thing, and that was to go to a grocery store in the rich part of town.
Almost penniless, the young man found enough to cover his bus fare. His original plan was to ask shoppers if they needed help in exchange for food.
What ended up happening was nothing like he expected.
Once in the store, he asked a shopper if he could help carry their groceries to their car. He said he would do it for a box of donuts.
Matt White was the man he approached. Matt noted that Chauncey’s demeanor wasn’t the best at the time, but he admired his perseverance.
He then decided to ask Chauncey some questions to get a better understanding of his situation.
Matt learned that Chauncey lacked a phone and food. All he had was his bus pass.Matt White felt that a box of donuts wasn’t enough. Chauncey was clearly in need of aid.
Matt White then went around the Highland Kroger and picked out groceries to send him with the teenager. Matt purchased a “bit of everything” ranging from soap to pizza.
As they were chatting and shopping together, Matt also found out that Chauncey was an excellent academic. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
He was earning straight As in school and was seeking a part-time job to help out at home.
Even though Chauncey was down on his luck, Matt felt the optimism radiate from the teenager. Chauncey spoke on his ambitions of wealth and success.
After their little shopping spree, Matt gave Chauncey a ride home. What he saw shocked him.
Things were exactly as Chauncey said. The house lacked proper furniture and bedding. The mother and her son using sleeping bags as a mattress. Matt also noticed the empty fridge.
Chauncey’s mother suffers from a number of medical ailments that made it tough for her to even walk.
After Matt White’s touching goodbye with Chauncey Black, he decided that what he had done still wasn’t enough. He ended up beginning a GoFundMe in Chauncey’s name.
What happened next was amazing.
The GoFundMe ended up raising $341,000!! Initially, Chauncey was only seeking money to help pay for new clothing. Everything he and his mother owned was in shambles.
The money also allowed him the opportunity to begin funding his own business and sleep on a proper bed.
Strangers can sometimes deliver true kindness to each other. Apart from Matt’s efforts, the social media campaign to help Chauncey was truly incredible.
Even though he was the recipient of thousands of dollars through the GoFundMe, Chauncey still believed in the need for financial independence.
He is truly inspiring!

Farmer Who Killed Women & Use Their Remain As Feed For Animals In Tear During Court Hearing, See Why
The bail application for three men accused of the brutal murders of Maria Makgato 47, and Lucia Ndlovu 34, has been postponed as the defense seeks access to a key statement from the farm owner. The three accused remain in custody while awaiting further legal proceedings after the hearing was delayed by the Polokwane Regional Court on Tuesday…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
The men are facing charges of murder after the bodies of Makgato and Ndlovu were allegedly thrown into a pigsty at a farm near Mankweng, Limpopo. The disturbing nature of the case has captured national attention with both local communities and the families of the victims seeking justice.
The bail hearing was postponed after the defense filed an appeal to access the statement of the farmer who owns the property where the alleged crime occurred. According to defense attorneys, this statement could provide critical information that may affect their clients’ legal strategy in applying for bail.
The farmer statement is a pivotal piece of evidence in understanding the events leading up to the deaths of the victims said the defense team. We believe it will play a crucial role in ensuring a fair trial and in determining whether our clients should be granted bail.
The prosecution however is expected to oppose the bail application citing the serious nature of the charges and concerns that the accused may flee or interfere with the investigation. They also pointed to the gruesome details of the murders, where the bodies were allegedly disposed of in a pigsty, which they argue reflects the extreme cruelty of the crime.

Community members and the victims families have expressed outrage over the bail application calling for the accused to remain behind bars. Outside the courtroom a small group of protestors gathered holding signs demanding justice for Makgato and Ndlovu. We want to see justice served for the families of these women. Their deaths have shocked us all said one protester outside the Polokwane courthouse.
The court has yet to announce a new date for the bail hearing, but the legal teams will return to court once the farmer statement is provided. Meanwhile the accused will remain in custody pending further proceedings.
The case has heightened public awareness about violence in rural areas particularly on farms, and has sparked calls for better safety measures in such isolated environments. Both law enforcement and local authorities are under pressure to resolve the case and bring closure to the grieving families.
As the investigation continues attention will focus on the outcome of the bail application and whether the defense access to the farmer statement will change the course of the case.
Losing a child can be a devastating event, no matter what age.It is, however, universally agreed upon that it is worse when the child is lost at such a young age.
Sadly, this sort of early death is expected for some families, due to the circumstances that their child is involved in.
Despite the advancement of modern medicine, there are still plenty of children who suffer from severe health problems from either a young age or even from birth. These children are often predicted to not survive very long…Click Here To Continue Reading>> …Click Here To Continue Reading>>
In a way, their passing can be considered them finally having rest and relief from their life, which has been an uphill battle all the way.
Most of these children and their families, however, find themselves with plenty to live for.
They fight, they strive, and they try to use everything at their disposal to push forward and see another day.
Alas, this is a war, and sometimes, the inevitable happens.
In the case of North Carolinian Chelsea Banton, she wasn’t expected to see her third day.
A premature baby born five weeks early, Chelsea had a major problem – she had to deal with excessive fluids creating pressure against her brain.
The doctors gave her at most 36 hours to live.
However, the baby girl would defy all odds, and would live to grow up.
Her life, however, did not get any easier after that first major hurdle.
The girl would spend the following 14 years of her short life fighting against one health problem after another.
Infections, life-threatening viruses, fluid retention, shunt revisions, hydrocephalus – you named it, she suffered it at some point.
In the fall of 2008, Chelsea was struck by yet another round of advanced pneumonia, which had developed from a bad cold she caught. READ FULL STORY HERE>>>CLICK HERE TO CONTINUE READING>>>
This latest bout of illness seemed to be the last one she could handle – the girl was forced to stay in the hospital for seven weeks, completely dependant on life support.
It was at this point that Colleen Banton, her mother, was forced to make a heartbreaking decision.
In the interest of not prolonging her daughter’s suffering, she opted to keep the ventilator off the next time her daughter was strong enough to breathe on her own.
It was essentially plugging the plug for the girl – by this point, Colleen had decided that should her daughter’s time had come, then there was no use in delaying the inevitable.
While praying with friends and family who had come out to support this mother, Colleen was suddenly called over to a nearby monitor by the pediatrician nurse.
There, her attention was directed to the bright light that had appeared in front of the door to the pediatrician unit.
Astonished, Colleen took a quick photo of it with her camera, then went to check this strange light in person.
Oddly enough, it wasn’t there physically.
A miracle occurred shortly thereafter – three days later, Chelsea was well enough to return home once again.
Colleen is convinced that the figure was an angel who helped her daughter.
Chelsea would then go on to live for another 7 more years before passing away in 2015, at the age of 21.
Her story is one for the ages!
