It’s a common belief that today’s kids lack regard for their elders. That is absolutely true in some cases; young people ought to be more appreciative of those who contributed to the creation of our nation as we know it now.
It’s not always the case, though. Young people engage in a variety of daily activities that are deserving of greater attention.
One such tale is this one. My goal is that we can assist in its propagation such that it creates pond ripples that eventually impact a great deal of people.
In 2018, Evoni Williams, who was then eighteen years old, performed her regular shift behind a counter at Waffle House in Houston.
It was there that she saw an old man who needed an oxygen tank to assist him. He was having trouble slicing his food. Evoni tried to assist the elderly man, whose hands were not functioning as effectively as they used to.
A customer named Laura Wolf wrote, “She took his plate and started cutting up his ham without hesitation.”
She posted a photo of the incident to Facebook since it moved her so much.
Wolf went on, “To him, this may seem small, but I’m sure it was huge.”
“As everything in this world looks so terrible, I’m thankful to have observed this gesture of love and caring at the start of my day.”
US news sites report that over 40,000 people have shared this act of kindness on Facebook, about a week after it was done.
Additionally, the Texas Southern University School quickly received the photo and reportedly extended an offer of a $16,000 scholarship to Evoni.
For Williams, who graduated from high school in May and has been working at Waffle House to raise money for college, it was a present that changed his entire life.
The kid claimed she didn’t think her behaviors were unusual, but she was honored to get the compliments and admiration.
Williams admitted to the Houston Chronicle, “I didn’t know the photo was taken until a couple hours later.”
The eighteen-year-old said it was clear she should be assisting the elderly man.
“It’s just something I would do for anybody, when I saw it.”’
Such tales give one a great sense of warmth. Evoni, more exceptional people like you are needed in the world.
It’s fantastic that this kind deed resulted in a scholarship. Kindly post this narrative on Facebook. It will encourage more people to give to charity in their daily lives.
90s Talk Show Host Unrecognizable Now and Furious Over Instagram’s Verification Denial
Once a popular daytime TV host in the 80s and 90s, Sally Lowenthal, also known as Sally Jessy Raphael, is now having trouble with people recognizing her.
The former talk show host recently posted on Instagram that the social media company refused to verify her account, even though she provided proof of her identity.
“So, Instagram doesn’t want to give me my blue check – no matter what proof I send them,” the 89-year-old wrote next to a huge blue checkmark. “AND there’s a fake account called ‘realsallyjr’, and that’s NOT ME! Help me let Instagram know so we can fix this.”
Raphael started hosting *The Sally Jessy Raphael Show*, later called *Sally*, in October 1983 and continued until May 2002. Her show was one of the first to involve audience participation and helped pave the way for other female hosts, including Oprah, whose show started three years later.
Over 20 seasons, Raphael interviewed many celebrities but always said Audrey Hepburn was her favorite.
“I was so awestruck, I could hardly ask a question. Everything she did, I admired. Everything she had done in her life I found to be exemplary,” she told the Daily Mail.

Throughout her career and even after she retired, Sally Jessy Raphael has had a distinctive look that makes her easily recognizable.
When she started filming *The Sally Jessy Raphael Show*, she realized she couldn’t read the teleprompter.
She said, “When we started, I looked at the teleprompter and said, ‘I can’t read that! I’m going blind!’”
While looking for a new pair of glasses, Raphael saw an ad offering an eye test, glasses, and a Pap smear. Despite how strange the ad seemed, she decided to make an appointment.
During the appointment she was told she would need a more expensive pair of glasses, but unfortunately they only color they had was red.
“You got it,” Raphael said.
Although she didn’t anticipate the trouble she’d face from the producers of her show.
“I had to fight to have the glasses. Producers tried to change them. Those shadowy figures objected to everything.”
She has since accumulated over 200 pairs of red glasses.
As of August 2, Raphael currently has less than 650 followers on Instagram, but even though her numbers might not match those of other talk show hosts, her fans are just as loud if not louder with their support.
“The Icon, the Legend of daytime TV, Ms. Sally Jessy Raphael needs her Blue Check Mark ? “
“That’s pretty crazy that someone as famous as you are is having trouble with being recognized. I’m trying to understand what the issue is though”
“We should flood your feed with blue hearts it’s so much better than a blue checkmark”
I remember watching Sally on TV! Do you? Let us know in the comments.
