Paying it forward

Today, Joseph and I went and bought a small stash of toys at RG Natural Babies. Here’s the kicker. They’re not for us.

If you, or anyone you know can use an extra toy for Christmas this year, just go talk to Michelle at RG Babies on Main Street here in Racine. I think we have like 10 toys there ❤️

Thing about it, is that these are nice toys too. 🙂

This is for all the rescuers out there. You make a difference

In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1942, during the bitter winter, food was scarce and families struggled to survive amidst wartime rationing. Eleven-year-old Peter Daniels noticed the city’s stray cats shivering in alleys and on frozen porches, often hungry and in danger of freezing to death.

One morning, Peter decided he could not stand by. He filled a small wagon with scraps of bread, milk from his rationed allowance, and warm blankets, then set out into the snow-covered streets. Alley by alley, he found cats huddled together for warmth, meowing softly, their eyes wide with fear. He wrapped the smallest ones in blankets and placed them in the wagon, offering food to those too weak to eat.

Neighbors saw him working tirelessly and were inspired. Soon, children and adults joined, bringing food, old quilts, and makeshift shelters. Peter coordinated the effort, making sure every animal was fed and warm. By nightfall, dozens of cats had been rescued, safe in a small abandoned warehouse Peter had claimed for the task.

Peter never sought recognition; he simply loved animals and felt a responsibility to protect those who could not protect themselves. His actions became a quiet legend in the neighborhood, showing that even a young child could foster hope and compassion during the harshest times.

Years later, those who had witnessed his dedication remembered him as “the boy who gave warmth in winter,” a reminder that heroism often comes not in grand gestures but in small acts of empathy performed with unwavering commitment.
