  1. SUCH BEAUTIFUL STORIES‼️‼️ Great seeing news that's UPLIFTING!❤❤❤The UPS story and the firemen cutting their hair😇 ….well, all were great!

  2. Good to know there’s SOME good happening in this world with all the bs .

  3. When I was diagnosed with lung cancer and people asked what they could do the first thing I said was “don’t shave your head”. It’s stupid. I just let chemo do its thing and never shaved a hair.

  4. We need more wholesome news like this 🙏💯

  5. I’m aspiring to be a future firefighter for my community and one of the main factors that draws me in is the brotherhood and family connection the men and women here make. It’s awesome.

  6. Honestly… you guys look fantastic with bald heads.

  7. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

  8. Well done he is truly brave !

  9. That woman’s first case after passing the bar was suing her family for spraying champagne all over her laptop🤣

  10. The first one the parents definitely had that moment of “all of this was worth it in the end”. They worked hard to get their daughter the best life and they did it. Such a proud moment for them all!

  11. 1:54 sadly I just read his cancer is terminal and he has 6 months to live. I read that his fire department is selling T-shirts to help pay for his hospital costs… it’s the Christiansburg Volunteer Fire Department

  12. I’m retired from the Holyoke MA fire department. It’s a 140 man department. We all did the same thing for a brother firefighter. The only ones that didn’t and or refused were the women and Chief.

  13. Because we can't do anything nice without exploiting it.

  14. Please keep the happy good loving caring news coming! It is truly needed! ❤

  15. OMG such bravery!!!!!..dudes shaving their domes..apparently not all capes wear heroes. 👏 👏 👏

  16. they did it for more of a punk look

  17. If that isn't Brotherhood, I don't know what is. Hoping for a complete recovery.
