Otter was born with a rare skull defect that left part of his brain exposed. His rescuers at Baby Kitten Rescue had a custom helmet made to protect his head while he grew old enough for surgery.

At around a year old, Otter underwent surgery to place his brain back inside his skull and cover the opening with titanium mesh. The surgery was a success, with no complications reported.

Now he gets to live like any other cat. ❤️

James Mogaji was an overnight security guard at Providence College’s Raymond Hall, where he had become a beloved and familiar face to the students. When they learned that James hadn’t seen his family in Nigeria for 11 years, students Brandon Reichert and Daniel Singh decided they wanted to help.

They started a fundraiser with an initial goal of $3,500 to help cover the cost of James’s trip home. The response was far greater than expected, with students, parents, families and supporters rallying behind him. The fundraiser eventually raised more than $30,000.

The students surprised James with the money for his trip, leaving him visibly overwhelmed and emotional. He dropped to his knees as the students reassured him, “We take care of our own” and “You’re part of the family.”

The money raised beyond the cost of his trip was also intended to help James visit his family again in the future.
