99-Year-Old Woman Uses Her Sewing Skills To Make Over 60 Dresses For Puerto Rico Orphanage ❤️

We can all learn a lesson from Martha Heft. At 99-years-old, Heft is keeping busy by putting the focus on others and using her time to make the world a little better.


Heft has been sewing since she was five-years-old and took home economics in high school. The Clearwater, Florida, resident is now 99 and hasn't shown any signs of slowing down.

Heft told the Miami Herald:

When I was 5 years old I started to sew on a Damascus Treadle Sewing Machine, and from then on and in high school I took home economics. I thought that was the easiest way to get A's.

It wasn't until Hurricane Maria devastated the island of Puerto Rico that Heft realized her skills could be of service. Her sewing group put together over 60 unique dresses for an orphanage. The group hand writes and pins a personal note to each dress so the girls know they are loved.

Heft keeps it simple, saying about the project:

As long as God grants me life and health, I'm happy to do this. I just wish I had a little bit more speed.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
