A moment to remember

“When Shirona took this picture, Jelani told him it was the happiest day of his life.”

When Shirona asked why, Jelani said: “I helped you today, and I didn’t need any payment for it. What mattered to me was that I was able to make a difference in your life — and that you recognized it.”
