A photo of a little girl with a bride whom she mistook for Cinderella has gone viral, and now the internet wants to send her to Disney World to meet other fairy-tale princesses.
On Oct. 13, New York newlyweds Olivia and Caleb Spark visited Akron Falls Park between their wedding ceremony and reception to take photos. “Suddenly, this little girl ran up to Olivia shouting, ‘Cinderella, Cinderella!’” photographer Nicole Wickins tells Yahoo Lifestyle. “I wasn’t sure if I should take photos, but the girl’s mother was watching and seemed OK with it.”
In reading the news and browsing the Politics and Controversies section of this forum, one may be lead to believe that Americans of all stripes and creeds despise each other and spend every minute of their bitter lives tearing each other down.
However, it is refreshing to know that behind all the hype and rhetoric, there are still plenty of decent people left in this country.
For 28 years, John and Stella Chhan, who had come to the U.S. as refugees from Cambodia a decade before opening their shop, have arrived at the store with their baker at 2 a.m. every day to prepare doughnuts for the day. The community knows that at 4:30 a.m., no matter the day of the week, Donut City in Seal Beach, Calif., will be open.
In mid-October, however, patrons of the popular doughnut shop found out that Stella suffered a brain aneurysm, according to NBC News, and since late September she has been recovering in a rehabilitation center.
And through a viral online word of mouth campaign, patrons bought out John's entire batch so he could visit his wife. And most humbling of all, John refused a GoFundMe campaign someone wanted to start for him.
A young man and older woman became friends over a meal at McDonald’s, and the internet is lovin’ it.
Eric Haralson was sitting down to a late breakfast on Thursday in Noblesville, Ind., when he met a woman who would completely change the direction of his day.
“I was eating breakfast by myself, just catching up on the NBA games that I missed the night before and Jan Jessup, being the center of attention that I assume she has been all her life, sat at the table across from mine,” Haralson tells Yahoo Lifestyle
Sure, the cynics will say it's all about publicity, but I say great for Toyota and the nurse (his story of being trapped in his truck and recording his goodbye messages was terrifying). When that guy in Las Vegas 'stole' that truck to drive injured victims to the hospital, it was a local dealership that gave him a new truck, not any truck manufacturer.
It didn’t take Toyota long to see the story and offer Pierce a free new truck. It’s a relatively small gesture amid all the destruction and tragedy, but it’s a valuable one that says two significant things about the brand: It’s listening and is quick to do the right thing. Obviously an automobile company can’t replace everyone’s car in every situation, but Pierce’s story is an awe-inspiring one, and the brand recognized it and reacted. Read through the comments on Pierce’s Instagram feed to see how the saga made people feel. That is brand engagement.
