This lovely story of neighbourly kindness will soothe your aching heart
The media bombards us with rants about the youth of today not having a proper attention span because of social media, spending all their money on avocados and generally being terrible, in spite of the fact that they’re obviously trying to sort out the mess we made of the planet. A tale has come out of Canada that shows categorically that the future is in great hands.
Prepare to have a lump in your throat, and maybe even a little tear in your eye.
