Teaching our children sympathy is the key to improving the world. When we show compassion towards each other, everything falls into place.

Six siblings from New York, including a 10-year-old, two twins, and a set of triplets, recently lost a dear friend. This friend had been fighting cancer for a while, but unfortunately, he couldn’t overcome it. During his chemotherapy, he lost his hair, which deeply saddened the siblings. When they heard the news of his passing, their hearts were shattered. In memory of their beloved friend, they made a collective decision to grow their hair long and donate it to other cancer patients, just like their late friend.

They made a choice to keep their plan a secret from everyone. Their mom was unaware of the reason behind their refusal to get their hair cut. Unfortunately, as time went by, their hair grew longer and longer, and their classmates started teasing them more often.

The siblings were often teased and told they looked like girls. However, they paid little attention to it as they were focused on their purpose and determined to achieve their goal.

They ended up gathering a total of 17 feet of hair when it was time to donate. Pretty amazing, right?

We are happy to see how young children can show such love and care.
