Whoa! Talk about inspirational. People never cease to amaze us...
An amputee CrossFit trainer is teaching other disabled people how to push their bodies to the limit. Twenty-six-year-old Zack Ruhl can impressively bench press 420 lbs and do pushups in his wheelchair. Last year he opened up his own CrossFit gym where he offers free classes to other amputees. Zack was born without thigh bones and brittle bones in his legs so doctors amputated them over the course of his life.
“She’s a human being, 60 years old, a mother, a grandmother, sleeping in the dirt. It’s just not right.”That's coming from the guy who built this small home-on-wheels for a homeless woman. He is 37-year-old Elvis Summers and he is inspiring many.
Better known as 'Smokie', sixty-year-old Irene McGhee, lost her husband and later her home and has been homeless since.
Summers befriended her over time when she would often visit his Los Angeles neighborhood looking for recyclables. He wanted to help her somehow.
He bought $500 worth of wood and built her a small house. A local building supply company donated some siding and roof shingles.
Five days later, McGhee had a three-and-a-half-by-eight-foot house, she could call her home. Complete with a window and sturdy wheels to move it to different locations.
As for it being parked illegally on the streets, that's been taken care of too:
“I had nowhere to really build it, so I just built it on the street outside my apartment. The LAPD have been super cool, and told me they support it as long as we move it to a different spot every 72 hours,” he explained.
Great story of a tortoise who got her wheels after being attacked by a rat. Her owners glued wheels from model aircraft onto her shell after rat chewed off two of her front legs while she was hibernating in Pembroke, West Wales...
Would you believe 102 year-old Alice Barker, who used to be a chorus line dancer during the Harlem Renaissance of the the 1930s and 40s and who has also danced in numerous movies and commercials - has never seen herself dancing on film?All her photos and memorabilia have been lost over the years but thanks to footage uncovered by Mark Cantor of Jazz on Film, she was finally able to watch herself in motion. This vid has been viewed almost 2.5M times already. Great inspirational vid!...
So you think you have it rough? Perhaps you need to watch this vid to be inspired by 20-year-old Peter Foster to put things into perspective. Peter has been away from YouTube since 2011 and now he's back. He has several health issues including glaucoma, microopthalmia, he can't smell or taste anything, he's had over 40-60 surgeries to treat over 25 diagnoses, and as he explains in this vid, he can't eat food or drink anymore via his mouth and has a feeding tube inserted into his stomach (which he shows), but he's "still loving life"...
"You know who that is?" asks one guy. "Iron Man" replied the young boy with a smile. Super hero Iron Man aka Robert Downey Jr. delivers a real bionic 3D printed arm at no cost to the family, to a child in need of one which was all thanks to a non-profit prosthetic maker organization, Limbitless Solutions, founded by student Albert Manero...
Another vid to add to our 'Inspirational' files. A truly touching ad campaign by Samsung Türkiye of an hearing impaired man experiencing a world where everyone he bumps into knows sign language. The ad, called "Hearing Hands" to promote Samsung's new hearing impaired video call center, was no easy feat. It took a month's learning of sign language from the people of Bağcılar, Istanbul in Turkey to pull this off and we most definitely say it was all worth it! This vid, not surprisingly, has racked up over 5.5M views since March 3rd....
This recent vid of a 4-year-old amputee dancing around on his bed has gone viral and Xiaofeng who's from China, is melting the hearts of everyone with his moves and smiles. He lost his legs due to a car accident 2 years ago. What an inspiration he is!...
Only those who have lost loved ones can relate to this, especially if the sound of their loved one's voice was captured on a voice mail recording forever, only to be erased after 10 years and then found again...
People can be so cruel to animals!!! This poor dog, Susie, was beaten, set on fire and left for dead by her previous owner but thankfully the ending is a happy and beautiful one for her and her new owner, Donna, who are now working hard to end animal abuse. In the meantime, let's watch them being spoiled for day...
Touching vid of a son playing a song for his mom who has Alzheimer. He shot this vid before his mom moved into an assisted living home. He wasn't expecting all the positive attention his vid received, but is obviously quite pleased and encourages people to give their parents a big hug...
If you always dreamed of playing football but lived on an island where your floating village contained no soil, what would you do? A true and inspiring short film of a football team that lived on a floating village in "Koh Panyee", a little island in the South of Thailand. The guys have always loved football but were never able to play since the island had not even one inch of soil to play on. But that didn't stop them. Watch the vid to see how their story has become a great inspiration not only for the people on the island but for hopefully all of us who watches it. This old vid from 2011 was part of TMB bank's new brand vision "Make THE Difference", to inspire people to start thinking differently, but we think it's a great inspiration vid period!...
Aaaw. He's such a cool dad. He made his son's day by being Spiderman, which makes him truly amazing! Sadly, his 5-year-old son has been diagnosed with a Grade 4 Brain Stem Tumor with an average of 1 yr to live....

As Ottawa owner Eugene Melnyk said on Friday: what doesn’t break us, makes us stronger. Today our country stands more united than ever and so does the entire NHL family. We are very pleased to join forces with the Montreal Canadiens and the Toronto Maple Leafs in coordinating a unique and special tribute prior our game on Saturday in honour and recognition of these two brave soldiers, their families and all members of our Canadian military.”
Aaaaw. Wasn't that special. Great viral vid by Utah Jazz. The look on this 5-year-old's face after he dunked that ball, feeling proud and all, was so worth all the effort involved in making this a special moment for JP Gibson who was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in 2012...
On Monday, the Utah Jazz announced they were signing JP Gibson to a contract. The significance of this is Gibson is a five-year old boy with leukemia and the Jazz were giving him a one-day contract. As nice as this was, the Jazz went above and beyond the gesture and brought Gibson off the bench in the third quarter of a team scrimmage played in front of Jazz fans on Monday.
Touching. Despite the problems she has suffered through pregnancy and doctors wanting her to abort, this mom followed her heart and now her 2-year old son, Kayden Kinckle is taking his first steps with the aide of his walker. He was born with a defect known as Omphalocele. A defect in the abdominal walls whereby the intestines, liver, and occasionally other organs remain outside of the abdomen in a sac...
