Your heart will melt at the kindness of a group of neighbors who came together to help a young child who is deaf.

Despite being deaf as a young child, Samantha Savitz hasn’t let that stop her from interacting with people. This little angel reached out and touched many hearts and received much in return.


Sam’s mother, Glenda, asserts that whenever Sam encounters someone who can engage with her, her mood shifts. The Newton, Massachusetts, neighborhood did something that will significantly change Sam’s life, despite the fact that not everyone can interact with her.

Sam first expresses her desire for connection while she and her family are out for a stroll around the neighborhood. Sam waves and communicates with people they pass by using sign language. At the time, neighbors couldn’t understand the toddler, but they thought she was adorable and wanted to play with her.


The American Sign Language teacher of Sam was to be contacted with the help of the Newton neighborhood, which asked Glenda’s permission to do so. The Savitzes were astounded by their neighbor’s actions and admired their deep affection for little Sam.

Initially, 20 people registered for the ASL class, but as word of the good news spread, another group of 40 neighbors also decided to save the young girl’s life. As a result of the sessions and the kindness of her neighbors, Sam is now more at ease navigating the neighborhood and interacting with those who live nearby.
