A milestone deserves a celebration, and “The Jennifer Hudson Show” is pulling out all the stops for its 500th episode this Wednesday. Grammy-winning artist Maren Morris will be gracing the stage, fresh off the release of her new album, “D R E A M S I C L E.” Expect some fun conversation and maybe even a musical sneak peek.

But it wouldn’t be a true “Jennifer Hudson Show” celebration without a heartwarming dose of good ol’ human kindness. Enter first-grade teacher Emily Gilreath and her seven-year-old student, Brooklyn Coleman, with a story that went viral for all the right reasons. When Brooklyn’s mom couldn’t make it to the school’s “Sneaker Ball,” Emily stepped up and took Brooklyn herself, even covering the cost. A video of their special night took off online, becoming a testament to the power of small acts of kindness.
