Dreamcatchers for Abused Children is a non-profit organization devoted to reform of abused children. According to their website, their main goal is to “educate the public on all aspects of child abuse such as symptoms, intervention, prevention, statistics, reporting, and helping victims locate the proper resources necessary to achieve a full recovery.”
Recently, the organization shared a heartbreaking list written by a child from Oklahoma who ended up in the foster system after enduring severe abuse from both his parents who were heavy alcoholics. The boy never experienced love or the joys a childhood normally brings. All he ever knew was negligence and starvation.
Years went by before a neighbor noticed that horrible things were taking place in the boy’s home and decided to alert social services.
Once police intervened, the boy was taken to the Dreamcatchers for Abused Children organization who made sure the little one ends in a new and loving home.
Finally, when the organization found the perfect family and shared the great news with the boy, he made a wish list on which he included all the things he wanted in his new forever home.
Needless to say, the list melted many people’s hearts. Many took their time to comment how the things on the list are not something a child should dream of because they should have them automatically as most of them are just basic needs.
This is the list:
“Things I want in my family:
I want food and water.
Don’t hit on me.
A house with running water and lights.
I want love.
Mom and dad don’t fight.
I want no drugs.
Don’t kill my pets.
Help with school.
Nice clean clothes.
No lice. No bug in house.
Clean house.
Clean bed with covers.
Don’t sell my toys.
Treated fair.
Don’t get drunk.
Tv in house.
Let me keep my school stuff.
Nice shoes.
My own comb soap. Nice house and safe and heater coat.
Toothbrush.”
This list is a reminder that we should never take the things we have for granted.
‘We Left. As Did LOTS of the Crowd’: Fans Shame Miranda Lambert for Her Behavior at Montana Festival – What Happened?
Miranda Lambert is facing backlash for her behavior at the Montana Festival. On July 14, a video shared by an attendee shows Lambert reprimanding the crowd during her performance, causing many to leave. Wearing a cowboy hat and denim dress, she addressed the audience sternly, saying, “Are we clear?” and pointing out specific individuals.
One attendee noted, “We left. As did LOTS of the crowd,” while another criticized, “This is terrible.” A TikToker remarked, “Respect your fans more. Without them, you’d be some nobody working at Dairy Queen.”
However, some fans defended her. “Honestly she was amazing. We were right up front and loved every second of it,” one concertgoer praised. Another admirer commented, “She is just brutally honest. Something so many of us lack.”
This isn’t the first time Lambert’s actions have upset fans. At a past Las Vegas concert, she stopped performing “Tin Man” to scold women taking selfies, stating, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, and it’s pissed me off a little bit.”
Social media users have mixed feelings, with some calling her behavior “out of line” and others supporting her no-nonsense attitude.
