MENTIONED THAT OCTOBER IS
FILLED WITH 7000 TELLING
RELATIVES BIRTHDAYS SO I WOULD
LIKE TO KNOWLEDGE TWO VERY
IMPORTANT ONCE THIS MORNING.
MY FABULOUS BROTHER, MARIO
TURNED 55 YEARS OLD AND MY BIG
BROTHER, THAT IS US.
HE WALKED ME DOWN THE AISLE IN
2006 AND IF YOU WATCH THE SHOW,
YOU KNOW HE IS ALSO A LEUKEMIA
SURVIVOR DIAGNOSED DAYS AFTER
THAT PICTURE AFTER MY WEDDING.
HE WAS VERY ILL BUT HAS BEEN IN
REMISSION FOR ALMOST 14 YEARS
NOW.
NOW.
NOW. I
NOW. I AM
NOW. I AM BLESSED TO HAVE HIM IN
HONOR OF NATIONAL HISPANIC
MONTH.
MONTH.
MONTH. MY
MONTH. MY GRANDMOTHER, THAT GRAY HAIRED
BEAUTY, I MISS HER SO MUCH, SHE
PASSED AWAY SEVERAL YEARS AGO
BUT SHE WAS SO CLASSY AND
ELEGANT AND GAVE ME MY LOVE OF
LIPSTICK, SHOULDER PADS AND
BRIGHT COLORS.
BRIGHT COLORS. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY. I LOVE YOU BOTH VERY MUCH.
I THINK WE HAVE ANOTHER BIRTHDAY
FROM CARA KNEER.
RIGHT?
RIGHT?
RIGHT? >>
RIGHT? >> I DO . IT IS ON WEDNESDAY
THE SO WE WILL GET TO JAMES
THEN.
THEN.
THEN. I'M
THEN. I'M SO EXCITED FOR MARIO.
55 HAS NEVER LOOK SO GOOD.
I WOULD LIKE TO SAY THAT IF YOU
WANT TO HAVE A GOOD TIME
HANGING OUT WITH CHRISTINE AND
HER BROTHER, IT DOESN'T GET
MUCH MORE FUN THAN THAT SO
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MARIO.>>> ALL
RIGHT, LET'S GET THIS TUESDAY
STARTED WITH IT'S ALL GOOD
STORIES.
STORIES.
STORIES. THE FIRST ONE I THINK WE CAN
ALL RELATE TO.
I CAN BECAUSE THERE IS A
STRESSED-OUT MOTHER AND A
MINIVAN INVOLVED.
MINIVAN INVOLVED. BRITNEY WAS WITH HER THREE KIDS
IN HER MINIVAN GOING THROUGH
THE McDONALD'S DRIVE-THROUGH
AND SHE GETS TO THE FRONT AND
IS HUNGRY AND SHE FORGOT HER
PURSE.
PURSE.
PURSE. SHE DIDN'T HAVE ANY MONEY.
SHE SAID WYATT, THE YOUNG MAN
THAT IS HELPING HER WITHOUT
HESITATION TOOK HIS WALLET OUT
AND PAY FOR HER MEAL AND SHE
WAS STRUCK BY HIS KINDNESS THAT
SHE WENT HOME AND TALKED ABOUT
ON FACEBOOK AND IT WENT VIRAL
AND PEOPLE WERE SAYING WHAT A
SMALL ACT OF KINDNESS BUT IT
MADE HER DAY AND THEN SHE FOUND
OUT FROM WHITE'S MOTHER THAT HE
IS WORKING AT McDONALD'S
BECAUSE HE WANTED TO SAVE MONEY
FOR A CAR SO BRITNEY THOUGHT I
WILL START THIS MAN A GOFUNDME
AND THEY RAISED $32,000.
NOW HE WILL BE DRIVING IN STYLE
SO IT GOES TO SHOW A LITTLE ACT
OF KINDNESS CAN GO A VERY LONG
WAY.
WAY.
WAY. HOW
WAY. HOW COOL IS THAT?
>> I LOVE THAT.
HOW AMAZING AND POWERFUL AND
NOT JUST OF HIM BUT FOR HER TO
REALLY MAKE SUCH AN EFFORT TO
MAKE SURE HE CAN GET TO WORK IN
ON TIME AND AS YOU SAID, IN
STYLE.
STYLE.
STYLE. I
STYLE. I LOVE THAT.
LET'S BUY SOMEONE'S COFFEE
TODAY OR LUNCH.
>> ALL RIGHT, LET'S DO IT.
THAT MEANS I'M GOING SOMEWHERE
FOR COFFEE.
FOR COFFEE. I LOVE IT.
IT'S A GOOD PLAN.
I LOVE HOW SHE SAID WHEN SHE
WAS WATCHING THAT GOFUNDME GO
BY, SHE GOT SO EXCITED BECAUSE
SHE CANNOT BELIEVE HOW MUCH
MONEY WAS BEING RAISED.
ANOTHER YOUNG WOMAN, AND HE IS
A GRADUATE STUDENT AT 27 YEARS
OLD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF DENVER
IN WITH THE PANDEMIC HIT,
PRETTY THOUGHT A LOT OF MY
SCHOOL WORK IS GOING ON HIATUS
AND I'M NOT ABLE TO DO IT AT
THIS MOMENT SO WHAT CAN I DO TO
PASS THE TIME BUT NOT JUST PASS
THE TIME BUT TO MAKE A
DIFFERENCE WHILE PASSING THE
TIME?
TIME?
TIME? SHE
TIME? SHE JOINED TOGETHER WITH
SHELTER BOX WHICH IS A
VOLUNTEER ORGANIZATION THAT HAS
EMERGENCY SUPPLIES AND SHELTERS
FOR THOSE IN NEED AND THEY WERE
LOOKING OUT FOR PEOPLE THAT
WERE AFFECTED BY THE
CORONAVIRUS PANDEMIC AND AS YOU
CAN SEE IN THAT PICTURE, THEY
ARE KNOWN FOR THIS 14 POUND
TURQUOISE BOX THAT THEY USED TO
CARRY THEIR SUPPLIES.
SHE WAS GOING TO GET THE
14,000+ PEAKED TO RAISE MONEY
AND THAT IS WHAT SHE DID.
IN 78 DAYS, THIS IS PRETTY
INCREDIBLE.
INCREDIBLE. SHE HIKED 600 MILES WITH THE 14
POUND BOX ON HER BACK AND BY
DOING SO, SHE RAISED $85,000
FOR PEOPLE IN NEED AND ALL OVER
THE WORLD AND SHE SAID THIS
MONEY WAS RAISED BY FAMILY
MEMBERS BUT MOSTLY BY STRANGERS
FOLLOWING HER ON HER JOURNEY
AND SHE SAID SHE SPENT MANY
NIGHTS IN HER CAR SLEEPING IN
MANY NIGHTS CAMPING OUT BUT NOT
TOO SHABBY, 78 DAYS AND 6000
MILES.
MILES.
MILES. WAY TO GO, BRITNEY.
VERY NEAT AND THANK YOU FOR
HELPING.
HELPING.
HELPING. YOU CAN CHECK OUT SHELTER BOX
IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO BE
INVOLVED TO SEE HOW YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING TO HELP IN THE
ATLANTA AREA.
ATLANTA AREA. THERE ARE 70 ORGANIZATIONS THAT
ARE TRYING TO DO GOOD.
>> CAN YOU IMAGINE THE PHYSICAL
STRENGTHS IN THE MENTAL
STRENGTH THAT IT TAKES TO DO
SOMETHING LIKE THAT AND TO
UNDERTAKE THAT?
UNDERTAKE THAT? THAT IS SO INCREDIBLE AND I
APPLAUD HER FOR DOING
SOMETHING SO MONUMENTAL TO HELP
OTHERS.
OTHERS.
OTHERS. THAT IS WHAT THIS SEGMENT IS
ALL ABOUT.
ALL ABOUT. I THINK WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE
MORE.>>> I WOULD JUST LIKE TO
SAY THAT THIS IS NOT A CRAZY
LIGHT YOU ARE LOOKING AT.
THE SUN IS CASCADING OVER THE
CLOUDS BACK HERE.
THIS LAST STORY WE WILL GET TO
REALLY QUICKLY AND THIS IS
ABOUT LUCA AND ALBA.
I ACTUALLY HATED THIS ARTICLE
AND I WILL TELL YOU WHY.
ALBA WAS ADOPTED BY LUCA AND IT
SAID IN THE TOP OF THE ARTICLE
THAT SHE WAS REJECTED BY 20
FAMILIES WHICH ALMOST MAKES ME
CRY BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT
REJECTED.
REJECTED.
REJECTED. YOU HAVE FOUND YOUR FATHER AND
YOU WILL LIVE HAPPILY EVER
AFTER WITH HIM BECAUSE LUCA
ADOPTED HER AND HAS WORKED WITH
CHILDREN WHO AREN'T TYPICAL HIS
WHOLE LIFE.
WHOLE LIFE. THAT IS WHAT HE HAS BEEN
TRAINED TO DO IN ITALY WHERE HE
IS FROM, IF YOU ARE A SINGLE
PARENT, YOU ARE TOLD YOU WILL
PROBABLY ADOPT A CHILD WITH
SPECIAL NEEDS.
SPECIAL NEEDS. HE SAID WHEN HE HELD HER IN HIS
ARMS THAT HE WAS FILLED WITH
JOY AND FELT THAT SHE WAS HIS
DAUGHTER IMMEDIATELY AND HE
KNEW HE WAS READY TO BE HER
FATHER.
FATHER.
FATHER. CONGRATULATIONS TO THE SWEET
DUELL.
DUELL.
DUELL. YOU CAN FOLLOW HIM ON TWITTER
ON @TRAPALUCA.
ON @TRAPALUCA. >> IT IS INCREDIBLE THAT SHE
HAS A HOME AND IS DRIVING AND
THAT IS WHAT IT IS ALL ABOUT.
THAT WILL GOT ME TEARY-EYED
TOO.
TOO.
TOO. I
TOO. I LOVE THOSE STORIES.
THANK YOU MY BEAUTIFUL FRIEND.
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING EACH AND
EVERY DAY AND FOR CONTRIBUTING
TO THE
