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.
I Opened My Own Auto Repair Shop to Make Women Feel Safe
A female mechanic has gone to lengths to ensure women and non-binary people feel comfortable and at ease whenever they have car troubles. The 25-year-old used to be “anxious” when she needed assistance, and male-dominated repair shops were the only thing available, so she started her own business.

Zoe Cog, from Manchester, UK, created a safe space for women to look for car assistance, a repair shop she called AutoCog. Although she started out as a receptionist in the industry, she became a mechanic herself. It was then she realized women constantly felt anxious about entering male-dominated repair shops, fearing discrimination or belittling.
“I’ve been the girl on the other end, worried about walking into places like garages and feeling anxious, and although it’s never easy, I like to think I’m an approachable, friendly female who has created a place where you can walk in and feel at ease, regardless of your gender,” she said in an interview.
“I get pleasure out of taking the pressure off the girls and can give as good of a service as any male-owned garage, but also build trust with the people I’m working with,” she added.
The response to Autocog surpassed all expectations, according to her. “Honestly, the response to my garage has been phenomenal and beyond anything I’d ever expected. It’s been an incredible rollercoaster. I’ve had so much support and positive feedback from not just women but also some incredible words from men,” she revealed.
She continued, mentioning how some feedback also proved why a female-owned repair shop was much needed. “Although some of the comments have proved why such a place was needed for us women — that’s for sure. I’ve had people question my ability to do the job as a woman, but I don’t let it get to me,” she said.
Many women are all about fighting gender stereotypes, and inspiring stories come up every day online. An excellent example is Edine, a young woman who stopped removing facial hair and shared how it has changed her life with the world.
