One airline company that has actively worked to support sick children has reached a momentous milestone and celebrated the occasion in a big way.

Life is an unfair experience, often leaving people with questions that are unlikely to be answered on this side of heaven. One of life’s biggest mysteries and toughest situations are sick children. Seeing innocent children inflicted with debilitating conditions or terminal illnesses is always a punch to the gut. 

Thankfully, there are organizations that work hard to help young people suffering and battling diseases and conditions. Groups like Make-A-Wish help make the dreams and wishes of sick children come true. However, they wouldn’t be able to do that without the assistance of other companies like Allegiant Air.

In a clip posted on YouTube, 8-year-old Annabelle, who has cystic fibrosis, travels to Las Vegas, flying on Allegiant Air. Annabelle is Allegiant Air’s 2,000 Make-A-Wish kid.

Annabelle is going to Sin City because she’s a big hockey fan and that’s where her favorite NHL team resides, the Vegas Golden Knights.

But little did she know that once she reached her destination, Annabelle would receive a queen’s welcome. As she stepped off the elevator at the Las Vegas airport, the 8-year-old was greeted by dozens of people cheering, holding banners, waving pom poms and filming the special moment. 

Once at the airport, Annabelle received a Knights jersey, a hockey stick, a hat and dozens of people who wanted to meet her. 

After making her way to the Knights arena by limo, Annabelle signed her contract with the team, and then it was time to lace up her skates. The Knights fan took the ice with the team and took a couple of shots at the goal. 

What a beautiful moment that likely meant the world to the young woman and helped to take her mind off her sickness for a little while.

Ephesians 4:32  “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

Medical professionals held a graduation ceremony for an infant who spent more than 100 days in a hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

Doctors, nurses and most people who work in the medical field are wonderful and caring people. They often work closely with families during some of the most difficult moments of their lives. But they are also there to celebrate the biggest, most emotional and most memorable times.

A video posted on YouTube captured a special ceremony of a child leaving a hospital’s NICU. The child was even fitted with a cap and gown as the precious infant was “graduating,” leaving the unit after 104 days. The child was born early at 26 weeks and weighed only 2 pounds 3 ounces. 

The short video begins as the child, in a crib, is wheeled out into the hallway filled with smiling and emotional hospital personnel. As the crib reaches the middle of the room, a woman wearing a full cap and gown recalls the terrifying early moments of baby Lincoln’s life.

“When he was born, Lincoln was the sickest baby in our unit,” the woman states. “The first 24 hours were very tenuous. And I remember those first 24 hours very vividly as myself and the attending worked around the clock to try to stabilize him.”

Despite those scary first early moments of baby Lincoln’s life, the little guy is now leaving the NICU weighing nine pounds.

Praise God!

The woman in the video described how babies born early are some of the toughest members of society.

“NICU babies are true survivors,” she says. “They show us the power of faith and the fight of the human spirit. They are the embodiment of perseverance.”

This is one of the happiest, most moving and most powerful graduation ceremonies that you’ll ever witness. 

Jeremiah 1:5 “Before you were formed in the body of your mother, I had knowledge of you, and before your birth, I made you holy: I have given you the work of being a prophet to the nations.”

A young woman proved medical professionals who told her she would never walk very wrong. 

Life is often an unfair experience, handing out problems and issues to some of society's most vulnerable and innocent members. Yes, people, because of wrong choices and poor decisions, bring hardships upon themselves. But other times, that is not the case, where the recipient did nothing deserving of a horrible disease or debilitating condition.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a little girl who was born with cerebral palsy. The child, the video points out, was told that because of her condition, she would never be able to walk. However, she and her family refused to accept that assessment.

The video starts with the tiny child in a hospital bed, attached to several tubes. Seconds later, the video has progressed several years into the child’s life. The girl is now using a walker to stroll along a paved road.

Then, with braces on both legs, a woman, likely her mother, right behind her, the girl, walks down a hallway. The woman providing the little girl with support advises and cautions her to take things slowly.

The video shows the little girl achieving a milestone in her life. While standing on a purple floor mat, the girl prepares to complete her biggest jump ever. The girl, who stands by herself with braces on her legs, accomplishes the feat. Sophia’s mother immediately erupts with shrieks of joy and excitement.

Clips follow with the child making her way down a flight of stairs, riding a scooter and balancing and hopping on one leg. The woman, likely Sophia’s mother, also puts her through a series of exercises designed to develop and strengthen the child's legs. 

In the end, the child, who was told she would never walk, is spotted momentarily running on a treadmill. The inspirational and tear-jerking video ends with Sophia effortlessly climbing up a wall.

Jeremiah 29:11 “For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, said the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.”

One little girl was determined not to miss her preschool graduation even when she experienced paralysis in her right arm.

Unfortunately, life is not a fair or easy experience. Sadly, some people receive a more difficult hand than others, even the most vulnerable and innocent members of society aren’t exempt from those harsh realities. Seeing children afflicted with debilitating diseases or conditions is always heartbreaking.

A video posted on TikTok shows a young lady, Estella, bravely fighting her way through her preschool graduation even though she was experiencing paralysis in her right arm.

She did not want to miss accepting her diploma.

Estella has Alternating hemiplegia of childhood (AHC), a rare neurological disorder. The National Institutes of Health describes the condition as causing “recurrent episodes of paralysis (hemiplegia) that involve one or both sides of the body, multiple limbs, or a single limb.”

The site also adds that these attacks of paralysis “may affect different parts of the body at different times and may be brief or last for several days.”

The individual who posted the video in the caption indicated that they did not expect the child to make it through the ceremony. However, the little girl was bound and determined to graduate with her class.

“I saw the determination on her face during that entire program,” the caption reads. “It was like she was willing her body just to hold on a little longer so she could have her moment.”

The caption’s writer also mentions how they reacted when someone who knows Estella’s story began clapping for her during the ceremony.

“I barely held it together,” the caption states. “It was such a small act of encouragement and support that I was so grateful for.”

What a brave young woman! Congratulations on your recent graduation, Estella! 

Isaiah 40:31 “But those who are waiting for the Lord will have new strength; they will get wings like eagles: running, they will not be tired, and walking, they will have no weariness.”

One country musician and his wife suffered a devastating tragedy with the loss of their 3-year-old son and have now found a way to deal with their pain and help others grieving.

Becoming a parent is one of life’s greatest blessings. Children add so much joy and happiness to life. But for a parent, no pain is worse than losing a child. Unfortunately, that’s what happened to country singer Granger Smith and his wife, Amber.

Granger and Amber’s three-year-old son, River, fell into the family’s pool and drowned about five years ago. What a devastating loss that would have struck the heart of anyone with immense pain and sorrow. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Granger and Amber mentioned how they are using that experience and hurt into a mission to help others going through a dark valley.

Granger recently wrote a book about losing his son and compared life to a river. He mentioned that similar to a river life takes unexpected twists and turns. But what happens when that river meets a waterfall? he asked. 

“What happens when your happiness goes off a waterfall, and you can’t control the flow of your river?” Granger said. “What happens when you can’t choose happiness because you literally have no other choice in life? You’re at the rock bottom of your river. That’s what ended up happening to me in a place of total surrender. The only thing I could do was completely surrender.”

Granger added that writing a book about his late son and sharing his story, which he hopes will help others struggling and hurting, is a way for him to find healing. 

Granger also talked about how his faith grew and how he learned to surrender everything to God after River’s passing.

“It was a moment of realizing that there are things in life that you cannot control,” Granger said. “And if you surrender that, if you can completely surrender that and say, ‘God, take, take control. You have planned this. You have purposed this. I can’t affect this in any way.’ There is such peace and rest in handing that over.”

2 Corinthians 12:9 “And he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you: for my strength is made perfect in weakness.’ Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest on me.”

Three sisters, separated when they were babies, managed to reconnect later in life and now live only minutes away from one another in Texas.

Life is an experience full of trying, often heartbreaking decisions. When it comes to making choices, one can only use the best information available to them at the time and then hope for a satisfactory outcome. 

A clip posted on YouTube explains how a couple in Colorado, more than 30 years ago, had to make one of those life-changing and heart-wrenching decisions. After Kathleen and Lee used a sperm donor and became pregnant with triplets, they were unable to care for all three children.

So, because of their financial situation and other personal challenges, the family put two of the girls up for adoption. The couple kept and raised Rikki Jump. However, Kendall and Julianne Scavo were adopted. Both were raised by a couple who lived only 40 miles from their sister, Rikki.

As the video states, Rikki grew up aware of Kendall and Julianne’s existence. But Kendall and Julianne had no idea they had another sister out there until one Christmas morning when their parents told them about Rikki. 

This Christmas Day revelation resulted in the three sisters getting to know one another, eventually becoming pen pals. At 11 years old, the three sisters met for the first time in a mall. In an appearance on The Today Show, the sisters described how that first in-person encounter felt. 

“A lot like a puzzle piece sliding into place,” Rikki said. “I had been a pretty sad kid up to that point, just because of the tragic loss of my father, so it was like the first reprieve I had from that in a long time.”

Now, after a series of unexpected events, the young women have been brought together once again. They all live in Austin, Texas, within minutes of one another.

The women added that they now see one another several times a week. Rikki, Julianne and Kendall have even started a podcast on which they share their unique story. 

Proverbs 22:6 “If a child is trained up in the right way, even when he is old, he will not be turned away from it.”

A young man born with a physical disability is not allowing his impairment to slow down his development.

Many people have the nasty habit of looking at someone and making instant, snap judgments. This is especially true when it comes to those with disabilities. Solely based on either their physical or mental disabilities, people will try to gauge what someone can do before even getting to know them. 

But, as has been shown, time and again, people can surprise and achieve more than many thought possible. Once again, that is true for people with disabilities and, for one young man in particular. 

A short video on YouTube shows a blind toddler making his way down a set of stairs. As the narrator in the video points out, these are Vinny’s first steps down a flight of stairs. 

Vinny, as he heads down the steps, takes it slow and easy. He uses a special cane, which is designed specifically for blind toddlers. The cute little guy uses his right hand to hold onto and guide the cane. He uses his left hand to feel and touch the railing. 

Who would have ever thought that a blind child could maneuver a flight of stairs by themselves? But apparently, the device used by Vinny allows the child to walk around without the assistance of someone else. 

Vinny, even at his young age, displayed a lot more courage than most people on an average day. He refuses to let his physical disability keep him from learning how to do for himself and to act independently. 

As the child makes it all the way down the steps, he beats the cane hard against the floor, ensuring that there are no more steps in front of him. Vinny’s huge accomplishment is met with cheers.

What a beautiful moment of a child doing, likely, what most thought to be impossible for someone his age.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Rachel Platten, the singer of “Fight Song,” spent time with a remarkable young man who found inspiration and encouragement from her hit track.

Life is a series of unexpected and often unexplained events. Devastating and tragic occurrences, which alter the trajectory of our lives do take place. Those catastrophic circumstances do not discriminate. They can and do happen to anyone at any time. 

Scout Lawlor and his family know this reality all too well. As the clip posted on YouTube mentions, the young man was involved in a near-fatal automobile crash. The crash left Scout with extensive injuries to his brain.

In the clip, the young man mentions what happened to his body because of the devastating injuries.

“My body forgot everything,” Scout said. “How to walk, how to talk, how to breathe.”

The young man, following the crash, was in for an uphill battle as he started his long road to recovery. As anyone knows who has ever encountered something similar, the road to recovery is filled with many tears and setbacks. 

It was during these instances of extreme frustration and disappointment that Scout’s mother encouraged her son to continue by singing Rachel’s “Fight Song.” 

Scout, in a surprise video call, confessed to the musician how he's been inspired by her song.

“I get it from the ‘Fight Song,’ Scout said. “Literally, it means so much to me.”

In the clip, Rachel responds by telling the young man he has been selected for a unique purpose. 

“You are incredible,” she said. “You know what? You are, you have a big mission in this life.”

Scout mentions that ever since he was involved in the tragic accident, he has reminded himself over and over about why his life was spared.

“Ever since the car accident, I’ve been, like, ‘Well, I clearly have something really big to do, to work up to in my life,’” Scout states.

Rachel, through tears, states her wholehearted agreement with Scout’s statement.

“Yes, you do.”

1 Thessalonians 5:11 “So then, go on comforting and building up one another, as you have been doing.”

On her wedding day, a bride made the unusual decision and had not one or two but 15 different men walk her down the aisle.

Weddings are momentous and often emotional occasions where two people exchange vows, promising to remain together through the good and the bad. While most of the attention remains focused on the couple getting hitched, weddings are about more than those two. 

A video posted on YouTube shows how weddings are also about the people who have played a role in our lives until that point. A bride had 15 different men – her brother, her in-laws, childhood coaches and others – walk her down the aisle on her big day.

As she reached the altar, the minister asked, “Who gives this woman to marry this man?” In a show of support and love, all the men answered, “We do.” 

These men stepped up and played a pivotal role in this young woman’s life. They all filled a void left by her biological father. 

As the narrator in the clip explains, the woman grew up with an abusive father. When she was only 16 years old, the woman helped put her father behind bars. 

The short clip states that the woman, who now works in law enforcement as a police officer, married the love of her life on July 15, 2023. The video ends by informing viewers that her husband is also a member of law enforcement. He is a sheriff’s deputy, according to the video.

Yes, weddings are about the love between the couple standing at the altar and saying, “I do.” But as the video shows, this young woman used her wedding day to thank the men who stepped up, loved and supported her throughout life.

What a beautiful and precious moment! It’s one that the bride and the many men who walked her down the aisle will never forget.

1 Corinthians 16:14 “Let all you do be done in love.”

A short and sweet clip catches the moment when a young girl with autism communicates a heartfelt and moving message to her mother for the first time.

Most parents would do anything and everything in their power for their children. They are motivated by unconditional love for their offspring and willing to go to any lengths for their son or daughter. Parents, without question, do enjoy hearing that that love is reciprocated from time to time.

A video posted on YouTube shows the precise moment when a young girl with autism tells her mother that she loves her.

The clip begins with the mother sitting on the ground in what appears to be a bedroom as she holds a book. With the children’s book in her hands, Mom seems to be trying to read to her daughter. However, it doesn’t look to be going according to plan.

The child, as they often do, is having trouble sitting still. One second, she’s sitting on the floor. The next, she’s staring at the camera, and in the next frame, she’s climbing around, halfway out of the camera’s view.

But despite the little girl’s abundance of energy, mom continues to communicate with her daughter. She tells the child, “Thank you” and then, “I love you.” It looks like the girl is doing everything but paying attention to her mother.

But then something remarkable happens!

Before the clip ends, the mother looks down at the book, reading silently. Then, out of nowhere, the child says, “I love you.” Mom cannot believe her ears.

She asks the little girl, “What did you say, Brianna? Did you say, ‘I love you, mom?’”

The clip ends with the little girl and the mother in a loving embrace. What a sweet and precious moment. The mother will cherish it for the rest of her life.

Proverbs 22:6 “Train up a child in the way he should go: and when he is old, he will not depart from it.”

Have you ever dreamed of being a bird soaring freely in the sky? Eagles are amongst the largest birds on the planet. They have amazing eyesight, lightning speed, and can detect prey up to 3.2 km away. As the national bird of some countries, they symbolize freedom, strength, courage, and immortality for generations. So if you ever dream of being a bird, aspire to become the largest eagle in the world!

A young child battling cancer received a touching, moving gift in the hospital that brought her a little happiness during her grueling fight.

Cancer is always a scary and frightening diagnosis. It can be absolutely life-shattering to both the patient and their family. It can be especially devastating and heart-wrenching when the person diagnosed with the horrible disease is a child. 

That’s why the moment when Alaia, a 1-year-old girl battling leukemia, was given a pink, remote control car is so incredibly heartwarming. Her reaction to the surprise is enough to cause even the most stoic and unemotional person to shed a tear.

According to the clip posted on YouTube, the pink car was from the group “Little Wishes.” The organization, according to its website, is committed to making “a big difference for seriously ill, hospitalized children facing difficult journeys.”

When Alaia was in the hospital receiving treatment, she would spend some time visiting other patients and hospital staff. Now, thanks to Little Wishes, Alaia can do her rounds in style.

Alaia’s mother in the clip recalls what had been the worst part of seeing her daughter fight cancer.

“It was hard knowing just knowing that I can’t do anything as her mom,” she said. “I can’t help her. All I can do is provide comfort, but I can’t take the pain away, you know? I can’t take her place. That’s, like, the hardest part.”

But the story does not end there! 

This adorable little girl and the proud owner of a pink, remote control car is now cancer-free following her fourth round of chemo.

Praise God!

“I was questioning when she was first diagnosed, like, ‘Why my baby and everything?’’ Alaia’s mother said. “But now, I, like, tell my fiancé and my whole family, there’s purpose to her battle. There’s purpose to this journey, and there’s purpose to her life.”

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”

A young man who suffered a devastating injury that left him paralyzed is now preparing to run a 5K race.

Unfortunately, life is full of hardships and setbacks. Trials on the road of life will crop up often without the assistance of bad choices and poor decision-making. No matter what life may throw your way, it’s necessary to keep a positive, upbeat attitude and continue to move forward, as one young man has shown.

Chase Friedman, a TikTok influencer and a Los Angeles resident, was in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for a New Year’s party in 2021. However, the morning following the party, Chase sustained a catastrophic injury.

“Then, like 7 a.m. the next morning, I got up just to pee,” Chase said. “Like, barely any sleep, and apparently, I tripped. I don’t remember it. I fell, my head hit the sink, and my head snapped back.”

Chase was paralyzed from the shoulders down.

Doctors performed spinal fusion surgery on his neck. The next steps were unknown, according to the doctors. They did, though, give Chase two big pieces of advice.

“The doctors came in after, and they said, ‘Look, we don’t know what’s going to happen,’” Chase said. ‘You might stay like this; you might regain some movement back. If that’s going to happen, you have to do two things: you have to work as hard as you can in rehab and you need to do everything you can to stay positive.”’

Despite everything he’d been through, Chase admits that he was happy nearly every day after for the next three months. He was "in the zone," he reports. 

He continued rehabbing from his injury and surgery for nearly a year. Then, Chase says, he started working out in the gym by himself.

Chase admits that “somehow, we fixed it” and now he’s running half a lap around a track without stopping.

What an amazing young man, who kept a positive, upbeat attitude, enjoys life and refused to quit.

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition, all take part, but only one gets the reward? So let your minds be fixed on the reward.”
