When Fake Heroes Become Real

Some of you might have read about this before, but it never hurts to share good news. There was a 19 year old non verbal young man with Down Syndrome who had to flee war torn Ukraine with his family. He didn’t understand why they had to leave their whole world behind so his mother told him they were going to meet John Cena (of WWE wrestling fame and now movies). The young man readily left with his family. So who heard about this? John Cena, of course. He came to visit him and spent the day with him and his family. That’s just cool.

I actually did read about this. I thought it was so nice--if only more people would do things like this.

I think that was a very wonderful thing for him to do I know it made the young man very happy,

John Cena has always done a lot for children etc. He might not be a great actor, but he seems to be a great human.
