During the hectic holiday season, it’s simple to get sucked into the shopping frenzy for our loved ones’ presents. However, some children go above and above to demonstrate their thankfulness because they genuinely get what it means to be thankful.
On a bitterly cold day last year, 10-year-old Ryan Tricks, the magician and mind reader Ryan Hicks, came upon the youngster. The child held a sign that read, “Toys For Sale For Mum’s Christmas Present,” next to his used toys. Ryan was intrigued and went up to talk to the youngster about his wonderful project.
An Unselfish Show of Love
Ryan was left dumbfounded by the small child’s response when he questioned why he was selling his toys. The youngster told how his mother made many sacrifices and worked additional hours to get him Christmas gifts. Selling his own toys to purchase a particular gift for her was how he wanted to express his gratitude. Ryan was moved by this noble and loving deed.
The youngster disclosed that his grandma, who was present in the house, knew about his scheme, but his mother was not. Even though he had some fantastic things for sale, he hadn’t sold anything after an hour and a half of standing outside.
Ryan Hicks Enters to Assist
Ryan Hicks was moved by the young boy’s story and realized he had a chance to offer assistance. When he asked how much the toys cost, he was astounded by how cheap they were. Inspired by the boy’s altruism, Ryan made the decision to intervene and have a significant impact.
Ryan gave the youngster a high five and said how much he appreciated what he had done. Then, to the young businessman’s surprise, he made an offer to purchase all of his toys. The child questioned Ryan if he was sure, looking around in disbelief. He suggested a fairly modest price of fifty pounds for all the toys after he knew it was real.
A Giving Motion
Ryan insisted on giving the youngster more toys since he didn’t want him to undervalue them. In order to make sure he wasn’t taken advantage of, he promised to pay him 100 pounds instead. The boy accepted the offer with pleasure, and asked Ryan for an embrace once he had the money. Ryan was moved to tears by their mutual warmth and friendliness.However, Ryan had one more surprise in store. Ryan wanted to make sure the youngster received something special for himself as well, as he was going above and beyond for his mother. He gave the little lad an extra hundred pounds to spend on himself as a result. For the boy, it was a tiny gesture, but it meant everything.
An Enduring Tale of Love and GratitudeThis endearing tale serves as a powerful reminder of the value of love and gratitude. It demonstrates the extraordinary extent some kids will go to in order to please their parents. The little boy’s altruism and Ryan Hicks’ kindness are both motivational examples for all of us.
Jase and Missy Robertson’s journey: Overcoming obstacles and finding strength
Mia Robertson, the youngest daughter of Duck Dynasty’s Jase & Missy Robertson, has been born with a condition known as cleft lip and palate, a gap in the upper lip that can involve the gum as well.
The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention shares that about one in every 1,600 babies is born with a cleft lip with a cleft palate in the U.S.
Because of her condition, sweet Mia, who is now 18 years old, has been forced to undergo 13 surgeries, with the 14th taking place just recently. The family truly hopes this would be Mia’s last procedure before her problem is finally solved.
Throughout every surgery, the young girl remains positive. What’s most, she hopes she serves as inspiration for other young children who are born with the same condition. On her own initiative and with the help of her family, Mia established the Mia Moo Fund in order to assist in making certain that each and every child wears a smile on their face.
“One of the functions of the Mia Moo Fund is to spread awareness of the cleft lip and palate journey,” Missy Robertson told Christian Post. “The other one is to help with medical funds for the parents and the families living right here in America.”
On his podcast Unashamed, Jase Robertson shared an update on Mia’s condition and said that his daughter is recovering well.
“She’s doing great. She’s turned a corner,” he said, and then added, “Everything seems great, seems to be fine.”
“Surgery went a little longer than expected, but she is home and recovering,” the loving father told his podcast listeners. “Thank you for praying for her and for our family. She is a champion!”
Before the surgery took place, Missy spoke of her daughter’s condition and explained that she had been constantly asked about the number of procedures Mia would need to undergo in the future. “There is never any other response than ‘We just don’t know,’” Missy said. She then added that they rely on God for assistance. “Since she is 18 now, she is taking the lead in all the discussions and medical forms. It’s been a little strange,” Missy wrote. “But it’s just another reminder to lean on the Lord and that I’m not in control.”
Mia also hopes that she’s at “the finish line.”
“Hopefully the last time I’ll see my doctors in this setting! It’s been a long road but we are at the finish line,” brave Mia said.
The Robertson’s have also been preparing for a new addition to the family as they open the doors to their hearts and home for a child whose mother was unfit to take care of.
We wish Mia speedy recovery.
