Reporter lets girl with Down syndrome say 'Love You' to parents live on air
A reporter was on air when a child with Down syndrome showed up in front of the camera.
Kindness has a way of shining through in the most unexpected moments, reminding us of the beauty of human connection. One such moment unfolded during a live broadcast when a 7 Local News Mackay reporter noticed a young girl with Down syndrome standing nearby. According to Inside Edition, the girl’s excitement was palpable as she spotted the camera—she began fixing her hair, clapping her hands, and beaming with joy. Rather than continuing his segment without acknowledgment, the reporter turned to her with a warm smile and asked, "Do you want to say hello to the camera? Yeah, say hello to the camera."
u/Derkastan77-2 shared their story of living with a son who has Down syndrome: "My son is a 9-year-old little hobbit with Down syndrome. It was really, really hard to come to terms with it during the first two years…really hard. But JFC, the kid is a ray of sunshine and happiness on feet. It’s like having a happy koala that only wants to be held, hugged, smiled at, and told how happy he is. It’s like having the whole 'happy, huggy toddler' that most parents only experience for 2 years… and I still have that at 9."
This video shows how small gestures of kindness can make someone's day. In another heartwarming story, Julia Stultz and her family experienced a touching moment while shopping at a Walmart in Charlotte, North Carolina. During a routine grocery trip, Stultz’s son noticed an envelope on the floor in the children’s clothing section. Curious, she picked it up and found a message on one side: “With Love, Amen.” On the other side, it read, “If this card has found you, open it – it’s yours. God is continually blessing you.” Inside the envelope, she discovered five crisp $20 bills totaling $100, along with a heartfelt note that read, “May this gift bring you a little peace today. One day, please pay it forward. May the blessings of God be on you always! Your friend.”
Stultz was stunned by the anonymous gesture. “It’s incredible to think someone would do something so thoughtful for a complete stranger,” she said, adding that while she may never get to thank the person, she felt inspired to honor their request and pay it forward. Other shoppers were equally touched by the story. “I’ve always wondered if there was stuff like that in the world, and I’ve always said if I have the chance to pay it forward, I would absolutely do it,” said shopper Akili Omari.
