  • Heroes Medals Stolen Can You Help?

    Hello everyone,

    My Grandpa who was 98 years old sadly passed away last week. In the last 48 hours, his house in Sunbury was burgled. Whilst we are heartbroken that somebody would do such an awful thing, his wish was for his medals, earned after fighting in WW2 were to be displayed at his funeral, and passed on to his 8-year-old Great Grandson. However, these were also stolen. They were his pride and joy. I am here to plead with you all to look out for any information regarding either the burglary or look out for those who may be selling his belongings on Facebook, in antiques shops, at fayres, at auction, anywhere you can.

    Perhaps the culprit is here? If so, the medals have only sentimental value, they aren’t worth anything to you. We don’t care about anything else, but please, if you have a heart, let my Grandpa have his medals back whilst we lay him to rest. I beg you. I will even pay a reward for their safe return if you have them and won’t ask anymore questions.

    I have attached photos of some of the medals which have been stolen. Please share with everyone you may know. We have had to put his funeral arrangements on hold due to the burglary, but are hoping he can be at rest by 29th November. Please do the right thing. Even if you throw them into the garden, we just need them back. Somebody knows where they are.

  • Woman Fights To Escape Attacker And Survives

    At about 7:15am Wednesday, I was walking my dog Berreta alone on our regular loop on the Platte River Trail, a short walk from my home. A man passed by me that I had recognized briefly from the day prior when I was walking with Billie.

    He didn’t make eye contact with me and I got a very strange vibe. Somehow he made it on the other side of the loop, meaning he must’ve cut through the woods somewhere knowing where I was headed. The dog and I passed him and I said excuse me. About 30 seconds later I noticed him very close behind me. I saw he had a rope in his hands and at that point he was too close to try and put any distance between us.

    He strangled me from behind and drug me into the woods about 15 feet off the trail where he removed almost all of my clothes. He continued to choke me using his hands, the rope, and with a bandana of some sort. I fought like hell and screamed my brains out, even my sweet dog tried to fight him and bite him as much as she could. He threatened to kill me, I believe to get me to stop screaming.

    I thought that this could be the end but I was not about to give up fighting for my life. He hog tied me from my neck to my wrists, then to my ankles and told me he was going to let me go but he needed to find his glasses first. He searched for them multiple times and couldn’t find them, I begged him to let me help but he said he couldn’t trust me. I somehow managed to sit up and was able to reach the knot around my ankles and free myself.

    I had no choice at that point but to run for my life as fast as I could, unfortunately without my dog. I made it to the bike path almost completely naked screaming for help. I’m so thankful there were people around that ultimately were able to protect me. A man on a bike chased him down and was able to restrain him until police arrived. HE IS IN CUSTODY.

    He is a registered sex offender and has multiple warrants out for his arrest, the detectives are very confident he won’t be seeing light of day for a very very long time, if not ever. Later I was able to find Berreta, so she is also safe at home.

    This was the worst day of my life but I knew I had to fight, it simply wasn’t my time to die. I love you all for all of the support and am feeling better today. I still feel like I got hit by a freight train but I am lucky to be in good hands today with my family and friends.

    I am putting this post up to remind each and every one of you, please be aware of your surroundings at all times. Even if you have been on your local path, your grocery store parking lot, or anywhere 100 times, danger can exist anywhere. I am lucky to be alive, so please have a plan in place to protect yourself from whatever may be out there. Be safe out there, lots of love from me!

  • Grandad Saves Toddler From Drowning

    Lauren lawlor walker has taken to Facebook to share her Grandads story.

    Walker said “

    So earlier on today my grandad TOM WALKER was standing outside of his job and heard a woman scream as he turned his head around the corner he seen a pregnant woman running around in circles screaming her head off beside the canal. As my grandad was getting closer and closer and faster and faster he seen something in the water, a little pair of legs, so as he was running he took his jacket and shoes off and threw them aside and immediately jumped into the water in his clothes.

    There was also another man helping to save the little girl.My grandad then got the child out of the water to see it was a 2-year-old little girl with scratches on her and completely turned off colour. He checked her airways to see if there was anything blocking them and also checked her pulse to find that there was none.

    He then started to do CPR on the little girl ( he is trained and knew what he was doing ) while he was doing CPR there were plenty of people asking him if he even knew what he was doing and after 20 minutes of continuing to do CPR my grandad brought the 2-year-old little girl back to life! She began to spit up the dirty water. After ambulances and fire brigades arrived he then walked back into work in his soaking wet clothes. He then got collected and on his way home a 40ft truck crashed into the car he was in but everyone is okay. It has been an extremely stressful day for him, emotions are everywhere.

    The mans grandaughter is incredibly proud of her hero grandfather and added “Please share this post around so everyone can see what an amazing thing my grandad did today, he’s such a loving, caring and generous man who would do anything for others and our family would love for other people to see this too! PLEASE SHARE!❤❤❤”

    Glennon Doyle posted to Facebook to share her unlikely hero and woman across the globe agreed.

    Doyle said “I give you: MY NEW HERO. This Soccer (football) Mom, at my kid’s last game.

    Whilst the other parents stood loudly and earnestly and concernedly on the sidelines: this mother laid her body down on the ground, her head on her purse, and her blanket over her face – and napped.

    Her entire existence said: I am showing up for my kid. But I’m not gonna pretend I’m not exhausted about It.

    Please understand that periodically when the sideline yelled and woke her from her warrior sleep she would raise that little thumb of hers and say: yay. And then she’d go back to sleep.

    I love her. She is a cultural icon for our time.

    Here’s to WOMEN WHO FREAKING REST WHEN THEY’RE TIRED. May we know them. May we raise them. May we be them.

    I would like to formally nominate this hero as the president elect of our Women Who Have Run Out of Effs to Give Club.

    I will be the Secretary in Charge of Meetings. There will be no meetings.

    I salute you.

    #OOFClub”.

You go girl!!!

  • Mum Used Her Last Breathe To Save Her Baby

    Wyoming, Illinois, is a small town with only about 1,400 residents.
     This small tight-knit community was where 21-year-old Shelby Ann Carter wanted to have a family.

    She and her fiancé lived with her mum. Shelby worked as a beautician and had started studying to become a pharmacy technician. Then, in January 2017, she gave birth to her daughter Keana Davis. Shelby was so happy to be a mum and was looking forward to watching her daughter grow.


    But unfortunately, her happiness was about to come to tragic end.

    “She was making her mark in town,” said the town’s mayor”

     But on January 30th  only one day after her 21st birthday — tragedy struck.

     Shelby was at home with her baby when a fire broke out. 

    She called the emergency services  for help and told them that she was having trouble breathing. She hadn’t said anything about her baby which led to some confusion when firefighters finally reached the scene.
    Emergency responders found Shelby on the 2nd floor of her house, but it was too late — she had died of carbon monoxide poisoning. But when they finally put out the flames and looked at the scene, they found something truly astonishing: Shelby’s 12-day-old daughter! What had happened?

    Although the house was engulfed in flames, Shelby didn’t let that stop her from doing all she could to save her baby. 
    Finding herself and her daughter trapped on the 2nd floor, she quickly came up with an ingenious idea and rescued Keana Davis by strapping her into a car seat and dropping her out of the window. Shelby had obviously used her last ounce of strength to make sure that her precious baby girl survived.

    “I guess it’s the motherly instinct to take care of their young. We’re all wondering why she didn’t go out after the baby,” explained the chief of the local volunteer fire department.

    Keana Davis was rushed to the hospital where it was determined that she was completely unharmed. She was released to the custody of her family. 

    Keana Davis will never have the chance to know her mum, but at least she can be proud of her. Shelby is a true hero and will be dearly missed by all who knew her, her local community banded together to raise funds to help Shelbys family.
