Couple adopts 19-year-old cow that was deemed ‘useless’

Helen was born blind and has lived on the dairy farm most of her life.

The farm where she originally was from had used her for her milk and to have more calves.

She gave birth to 14 calves and stayed on the farm for 15 years.

After that, she stopped producing milk and was deemed “useless” or not profitable.

The dairy farmer didn’t want to let go of Helen.

He spent so much time with her compared to the other cows and didn’t have the heart to leave her behind or give her away.

So, he did the most selfless thing – he sold his operations and told the new owner to keep Helen so he could keep an eye on her and still take care of her.

Unfortunately, the new farm owner wasn’t keen on Helen’s welfare.

Four years after he sold his operations, Helen was still living on the farm, but the new owners couldn’t give her as much attention and care as she needed as a senior and blind cow.

He started reaching out to sanctuaries that could take better care of her.

That’s when Uncle Neil’s Home came into the picture.

It’s an animal sanctuary that helps rescue animals, including farm animals.

When they heard about Helen, they knew they had to step right in. Founders Rian Feldman and Scooter Belasco worked on giving Helen a haven.

The first few days weren’t easy for Rian, Scooter, and Helen.

Everything was new to her, and it was difficult to erase her experience from all 19 years of her life.

She was scared and confused, but Rian and Scooter were patient with her and worked towards gaining her trust. On the first day, it took her 45 minutes to get inside her shed.

Rian and Scooter customized Helen’s enclosure to accommodate her lack of sight.

They placed a wind chime outside her shed so she would know where to go when she needed to rest.

They also installed a solar-powered fountain on her water trough so she could hear the sprinkling water and know where to go when thirsty.

They nailed a brush by the frame of her shed so she could brush her hair, and she loved it so much!

The best thing about their therapy was using Helen’s senses.

Rian and Scooter took her for a walk every day and talked to her gently so she knew she was in a safe space.

They brush, hug, massage, and kiss her to tell her she will be okay.

Their days with Helen are filled with love, and that’s the best thing she taught them.

She showed them that if they give that much love and care to animals that need help, they will receive that same amount of love or even in multiple folds.

Helen may be 19, but being in the sanctuary has given her a new lease on life.

Helen lives her life to the fullest.

As she enters her golden years, she’s been given a chance to make the most out of her freedom and to finally feel what love is.

A POLICE OFFICER HELPED A LITTLE BOY TIE HIS SHOE—SECONDS LATER, EVERYONE IN THE RESTAURANT FROZE It was supposed to be just a quick lunch break. The officers sat at their table, half-eaten burgers and fries in front of them, when a little boy walked up. He wasn’t scared. He wasn’t shy. He simply lifted his foot and said, “Can you help me?” One of the officers chuckled, nodding as he knelt down to tie the boy’s untangled shoelaces. His hands moved carefully, tightening the knot as the other officers watched with amused smiles. It was such a small, innocent moment—something most people wouldn’t think twice about. And then— The restaurant door slammed open. A man rushed inside, his face pale, his voice shaking as he yelled— And in an instant, the officer shot to his feet, reaching for his radio. Lunch was over. Something was very wrong. (continues in the first 💬⬇️)

HE WOULDN’T LET GO OF THE CHICKEN—AND I DIDN’T HAVE THE HEART TO TELL HIM WHY SHE WAS MISSING YESTERDAY That’s Nugget. She’s not just a chicken. She’s his chicken. Every morning before school, he runs outside barefoot—even in the cold—to find her. He talks to her like she’s a classmate, tells her about spelling tests and what he thinks clouds are made of. She follows him like a dog. Waits by the porch until he gets home. We thought it was cute at first. Then we realized it was more than that. After his mom left last year, he got quiet. Stopped smiling the way he used to. Wouldn’t even touch his pancakes, and those used to be sacred to him. But then Nugget started hanging around—this awkward puff of yellow that wandered into our yard from who-knows-where. And something clicked. He smiled again. Started eating. Sleeping. Laughing. All because of this one goofy bird. Yesterday, Nugget was gone. We searched everywhere. Coop, woods, roadside. No feathers, no tracks, nothing. He cried himself to sleep with her photo clutched in his little fist. And then this morning—there she was. Just standing in the driveway like nothing happened. A little muddy. A scratch on her beak. But alive. He scooped her up, eyes shut tight like he was afraid she might disappear again. Wouldn’t let her go. Not for breakfast, not for school, not for anything. And as I stood there watching him, I noticed something tied around her leg. A tiny red ribbon. Frayed at the edges. And a tag I hadn’t seen before. It said: ⬇️ (continue reading in the first cᴑmment)

HE WASN’T SUPPOSED TO BE THERE—BUT THEN HE HUGGED ME LIKE I WAS FAMILY I was just trying to get across 7th Street without messing up my knee again. Had my little knee scooter, the kind with the one wheel in front, you know? I was mostly focused on not tipping over and getting to the coffee shop before the lunch crowd hit. Then I heard someone shout my name—not scream it, just say it with so much heart it stopped me cold. I turned, and there he was. Nico. He’s in the special needs program at our local high school, and I’d met him a few times at community events. Sweetest soul ever. He always called me his “hero,” which felt like a lot for a guy who just played semi-pro ball before tearing his ACL. But he remembered. Every game. Every score. Every stat. But I hadn’t seen him in months. Apparently, he convinced his older sister to skip her class and drive him downtown just to “check on me,” even though he knew I wasn’t playing anymore. He had this little sign he made with glitter letters that said, “WE LOVE YOU, TYRELL.” And yeah, I lost it. Right there on the sidewalk, with cars crawling past and people trying not to stare, Nico came up to me and wrapped his arms around my waist like I was still out there making game-winning plays. I bent down, hugged him back, and for a second, everything else—my injury, my doubts, my whole messed-up season—just disappeared. Then his sister quietly said, “Nico has something to tell you,” and his voice started to shake as he looked up at me…⬇️
