This heartwarming Halloween story reminds us that kindness and empathy can brighten even the spookiest season. Salena Webb’s simple but powerful gesture speaks volumes about the impact of small acts of compassion. Halloween is a time for fun frights and dark decorations, but when her neighbor shared his father’s recent lung cancer diagnosis, Salena immediately understood how her decorations might feel unsettling rather than festive for him. Without hesitation, she rethought her display, moving the skeletons’ casket out of view and giving them badminton rackets instead, finding a way to keep the Halloween spirit alive while respecting her neighbor’s needs.
Her decision highlights the true essence of community—recognizing the struggles of those around us and acting to ease their burdens, even when it requires a bit of sacrifice. Salena’s video resonated with many, and people praised her for valuing her neighbor’s comfort above her decorations. Comments poured in, celebrating her compassion and reminding us that kindness is a universal language.
Salena’s story shows that Halloween can be more than just scares; it can be a time to share kindness, too. In a season that often celebrates the eerie and the spooky, she offered a powerful reminder: empathy and understanding can turn any holiday into something meaningful and positive.
Albino sisters born 12 years apart become modeling sensations
They may have been born more than a decade apart, but these siblings still have one remarkable thing in common.
Albinism is a rare genetic disorder that causes a lack of pigmentation in the skin, eyes and/or hair, giving albino people a unique look:
It’s very rare to have an albino child… which makes it remarkable that one Kazakh couple had not one, but two albino children 12 years apart.
Meet Asel and Kamila, the incredibly unique siblings that have turned into in-demand models:
Asel is the older sibling at 14. Her mother, Aiman Sarkitova, said she was stunned when she was born albino.
“When I gave birth to my eldest, genetics were not so developed with us,” she told the Daily Mail. “It is developing only now. The doctors were shocked.”
Imagine their surprise when, 12 years later, Kamila was born with the same condition.
It’s an incredible, striking sight to see these two siblings together—so the two teamed up and became a modeling duo.
Asel has already been modeling since she was 10, but with her 2-year-old sister at her side she’s become even more in-demand. The pair have over 33,000 followers on Instagram.
While their albinism has led to big success, it’s not always easy. The condition is also associated with medical conditions like a sensitivity to sunlight.
“If I go outside in the afternoon, then I definitely apply sunscreen, put on clothes to protect my skin, headgear or use an umbrella,” Asel said.
“In the evening, when there is almost no sun, it’s much easier for me.”
But through whatever ups and downs life throws at them, they’ll always have each other.
The condition is so rare that albino people can feel alone, but these two sisters are lucky that they’ll always have a family member just like them.
And hopefully, their success as models will shed some light on albinism and show how uniquely beautiful albino people can be.
“Many people do not know what albinos are,” Asel said.
We think these sisters are stunning! Share this remarkable story and beautiful photos!
