The hero who lost his own home to the flooding, worked nonstop for 37 hours moving around in 10 feet deep water to help as many people as possible. Funds have been raised to buy Jean a new home.

    Good news is always, well, good! So it’s great to have an Instagram account like this ready to convey some positivity into our daily lives. And it seems that people are thirsty for such content because the Good News Movement has already amassed more than 3.9M followers. The creator of this account, Michelle Figueroa from Boston, felt that wholesome content sometimes gets pushed to the side, and wanted to create a space dedicated solely to uplifting stories.

    “​​People send me good news stories from their own communities that maybe otherwise wouldn’t make a headline or wouldn’t make the newspaper or newscast. I don’t really limit myself in terms of what we cover. We welcome people to send any kind of story that brought them joy,” Michelle said on the Rachael Ray Show.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    She noticed many times that the kind person didn’t know the individual they were helping — they were complete strangers. This only shows that the world is full of wonderful people ready to lend a hand to those facing adversities and build stronger bonds within families, communities, and beyond.

    “I have been a network journalist for over 10 years and since my first aired story, I have always found myself drawn to stories showing the good in humanity,” she told Vogue. “In fact, my very first story was for a show called Primer Impacto. It was about a toddler with skin as fragile as a butterfly’s (she has epidermolysis bullosa) whose attitude is so inspiring.”

    She believes that people have so much good, much more than bad, but there wasn’t a journalist-run space for it. So she decided to fill this gap. Michelle created the account so people could send in upbeat stories about acts of kindness, and she could share them with the internet.

    "(Muskogee, Oklahama): 6th grader Davyon Johnson used an abdominal thrust on a classmate who was choking on a bottle cap last Thursday. Later that day, he rescued a woman who has a disability, from a burning house. His mother says she's not surprised and that her son wants to be an EMT just like his brother when he is older. Representatives of Muskogee Police Department, Muskogee County Sheriff’s Office and Muskogee Public Schools honored Johnson Tuesday as an honorary member of the police and sheriff’s departments.
     
    'I felt good, excited,' Davyon said about the honor.
     
    Principal Latricia Dawkins called Davyon a 'dual hero.'"

In 2018, It was initially intended to be a library for sanitation workers and their families but became open to the public after seeing how much interest there was in it. The novel idea inspired the community to donate books to the ever-growing collection.

    When I moved out of NYC I downsized from a condo to an RV. Donating most of my possessions was easy…except for all my books! I had a couple hundred. Libraries, nursing homes, hospitals, etc. all said no. Turns out bed bugs can live in books (not that I had them!) and they couldn’t risk it. I finally found a charity that would accept them, but it took a while.

    "In July, Florida detective Mike Blair, of the Hillsborough County Sheriff’s Office, responded to a horrific crime scene in March 2018 – a man had killed his girlfriend and special needs daughter and critically injured his son. The 8-year-old son wasn't expected to make it but pulled through. The detective would frequently check up on the boy. The detective said his heart strings were pulled when the boy asked him, "will you watch a movie with me?"... Now that detective is his adoptive father to the now 12-year-old boy and the boy says he feels so loved by his adoptive parents and 6 siblings."

    The son's father represented himself in court, thereby he was allowed to cross examine his son. Fortunately, it was done by video, and this young man did an amazing job testifying against his father. Bizarrely, the murderer thanked the detective for adopting his son.

    That reminds me of the case where the woman shot her three children and then claimed they'd been attacked. The 3 year old and one of his older sisters survived and the police were already suspicious but after she woke up even though she was unable to speak her heartrate skyrocketed when her mother walked into the room showing that she was terrified. She was the only witness (the boy was 3 and far too young) so the prosecutor spent a lot of time building a bond with her so she would eventually be able to testify. He and his wife ended up adopting her and her brother who was paralysed.

    It’s no surprise that reading and hearing inspiring stories make us feel generally happier. This doesn’t mean we should ignore the difficulties and injustices people face in today’s world. However, it’s crucial to find the balance and notice when your thoughts begin to spiral to prevent them from going out of control.

    Michelle explained that if we consume only the bad, we might start to feel weighed down. “If we nourish ourselves with the good in the world, we’ll feel positive, uplifted and inspired,” the creator of the Good News Movement said. “In these times, … it can be easy to be anxious with uncertainty, but my page has served as solace that together we can get through this.”

    My grandpa used to bring my grandma flowers every Friday after work. When he died, my uncle (generally considered the least successful, and certainly least financially steady member of the family) stepped up and brought her flowers every Friday from then until her death years later. He never mentioned it, just hugged her and handed them over every week. I adore him.

Reminds me of my Grandpa, he used to sneak me a cookie before dinner all the time and say "don't tell Grandma". When I was in my 20's he snuck me a cookie and said "don't tell Grandma" I said "Appa, you know I'm grown now and it won't ruin my appetite right?" Omg the heartbreak on his face, he whispered "Don't take this from me" I took the cookie. And kept taking them until he passed a couple years later. Now no one sneaks me cookies anymore :( Keep peeling her oranges dad.

    "(Austin, Texas): 11-year-old Audrey Soape lost her father and grandfather last year & was feeling sad about an upcoming father-daughter dance. That's when her mom Holly reached out to @philadelphiaeagles football player Anthony Harris ( @antharris ) to ask whether he would take Audrey to the dance, not expecting a reply. But to her surprise, the NFL player said YES.
     
    “[I was] just trying to be a human,” Harris told NBC 10 in Philadelphia. “Trying to take off the helmet, trying to take off the cape of what I do professionally and just show some sympathy for that family and try to show some support there.” The family had been fans of Harris since his days with the Vikings and say it was such a blessing that someone so busy would take time of their schedule to show up for someone they don't even know."

    “It’s interesting: people often look elsewhere for good news — on the TV or in the newspaper, but people themselves are the good news. No matter where we are, or our circumstances, we are capable of being and creating good news. It may sound cliché, but the change does indeed start with each of us.”

    She decided to add the word “movement” to the title because it truly is a collective effort. “People send in their stories or stories of their neighbors, friends, classmates and this platform amplifies stories from their neighborhood to the world. I receive messages of support on a daily basis – people thanking me for lifting up their spirits or inspiring them to do an act of kindness which truly is the best compensation for me.”

    After all, we are hardwired to feel compassion and almost always want to help other human beings (and animals!) “Good News Movement is a platform to share the good news but it’s also a vehicle to connect those who need help with those who want to help.”

    Michelle mentioned that people want to assist and support others but sometimes, they don’t know how to go about it. “One time, a boy with autism in Florida asked his mom if anyone would like him and, with permission of the mom, posted about it and asked for cards. The boy received hundreds of cards and gifts from the followers.”

    Every year!!! Let me explain. I have no disposable funds, ever. I live in forced poverty due to my disability. Every year, a very very very wealthy friend sets it up so I can order and purchase hundreds of dollars of Organic turkeys, pick them up and deliver them to the soup kitchen. I love being a part of something so wholesome. Having learned that volunteering is so rewarding, I seek out opportunities to volunteer. Be it sending books to prison libraries (the State refuses to supply prison libraries) by buying used books from the library to helping a dog owner with effective and positive communication skills to taking an elderly community member out for lunch, I get the most out of it every time. If you can volunteer, please consider it.

    "Bethel Park High School (PA) coach sent a message to his team: 'Due to the expected severe weather, Monday's weightlifting workout has been cancelled. Find an elderly or disabled neighbor and shovel their driveway. Don't accept any money - that's our Monday workout.'
     
    Delallo said the shoveling workout started with the previous coach, more than a decade earlier, but he thinks he may have been the first to tweet it. Thanks to social media, athletes from competing teams saw the tweet and also went out to shovel."

    In my family, my older brother was connected with dragonflies and my younger brother was connected with butterflies. After we read the story 'Water bugs and dragonflies' there was an even greater identity with them. When each of them died we often saw dragonflies and butterflies on special days like Easter and their birthdays and it was as if they were there celebrating with us.

    We need this in the USA. As of now, they are considered property. If someone's beloved pet is killed, they can only get the monetary 'value' of what a person paid for the animal, not the emotional damage or punitive damage caused by the pet's loss.

    Russian stray dogs are remarkable. They take in abandoned children all the time. And what do the authorities do when forced to rescue these otherwise unwanted children? They poison and kill the dogs... the only family some of these toddlers have ever known. I do not know what the answer is but sometimes there are animals, other than humans, who are better equipped to look after these lost children. Read 'Dog boy' by Eva Hornung. Based on a real life case but spattered with moments of other cases as well. It happens all over the world but Russian street dogs are a cut above the rest.

    Agree or not with PETA, they have been very vocal in advocating against this and in shutting down research facilities along with breeders that supply these dogs for research. They have also been responsible for blocking funding to organizations for animal testing purposes. Although I do not agree with their theatrics, I do agree that they have done a lot in putting pressure and passing laws against animal cruelty.

    Junk science. This needs to be abolished period. BTW, in case anyone is interested there's a group called The Beagle Freedom Project that rescues and rehomes animals used in testing facilities. These beautiful dogs once rehabilitated, are eligible for adoption.

    It's not the euthanasia that freaks me, but the horrendous physical/psychological torture these animals are forced to endure that makes me question our humanity.

    "CHICAGO - A middle-aged patient with leukemia has become the first woman and 3rd person to be cured of HIV after receiving a stem cell transplant from a donor resistant to the virus that causes AIDS, researchers reported earlier today.
    The case presented at the Conference on Retroviruses and Opportunisitic Infections in Denver, is the first involving umbilical cord blood, a novel approach that could make the treatment more widely available, researchers say.
    The woman has been free of the virus for 14 months without a need for her regular antiretroviral treatments. Good news."

    I grew up in San Francisco in Eureka Valley, which is also known as The Castro. From the time I was born I had more “uncles” than most people have relatives. My mother was a charge nurse on the AIDS ward during the early days of the epidemic. Because of union issues and not initially knowing how it was spread, along with later paranoia and misinformation, most allied health care workers did so on a volunteer basis. The custodial and dietary staff wasn’t allowed on the floor. It was an open room setting with beds separated by curtains. My brothers, friends and I volunteered as custodians in our pre-teen and teen years. I watched countless patients, neighbors and uncles waste away. I cannot even count how many beds I sat beside as people I loved died. If you want a small glimpse of just how numbingly unreal it seemed, watch “We Were There.” I have cries countless tears of joy with the fight for a cure from AZT to now this!!!!

    I knew they’d found people with a natural immunity/resistance to HIV—-the idea was originally based on anecdotal evidence, from the time, that some people survived the Great Plague, even if they were directly exposed to it, simply because they were naturally immune or resistant to it. But I didn’t know they’d completed the research and started transplanting stem cells. This is amazing!

    Only reason I can come up with is because it's a somewhat taboo and outdated topic. They don't report the successes they've had in treating it, that a lot of people with HIV are non detectable and non transmittable, that peoples' immune systems have fought it off. The only way you learn about these things is to either have someone close to you with it, have it yourself or do your own research. I honestly don't know why this topic is such a hot potato.

    Three People Who Were Completely Paralyzed From The Waist Down Due To Spinal Cord Injuries Can Now Stand Up On Their Own And, After Months Of Training, Can Take Steps With A Walker— Thanks To An Implant That Electrically Stimulate Nerves In Their Back And Legs. The Electrode Device Is Implanted Between The Vertebrae And The Spinal Cord Membrane, Which Receives Currents From A Pacemaker Implanted Under The Skin Of The Abdomen.
“All Three Patients Immediately After The Surgery Were Able To Stand Up And To Step [with Support],” Says jocelyne Bloch at Lausanne University Hospital In Switzerland, Who Carried Out The Surgery. Some Were Able To Ride A Bike And Even Kick Their Legs In A Swimming Pool, Raising Hopes That These Small Devices Can Help Those Paralyzed Regain Mobility.
“On The First Day, I Was Able To See My Legs Moving And It Was Very, Very Emotional,” Said Michel Roccati Who Had Severed His Spine In A Traffic Accident.

It should not cost $50,000.00+ to get an education--even state schools can be outrageously pricey. Students in the United States should not have to take out loads of loans and end up in incredible amounts of debt just to get a decent education.

    Our son was 3 years old when we found out that he had 20/200 eyesight. I remember thinking at the time that he did not even know what we looked like. After he put on his glasses he would not take them off. He slept in them. He showered in them. He is 24 now and still rarely takes them off. <3

    My daughter was 3 when she first got glasses. I remember asking the doc how could we possibly keep them on a toddler? They assured me it wouldn't be a problem. Her vision was bad enough that she literally cried when I took them off.

    "I’m Extremely Proud To Be From The Bronx And I Have Lots Of Family And Friends Who Live And Work There Still. So, When I Heard About The Fire And All Of The Victims, I Knew I Needed To Do Something To Help,” Cardi B Said In A Statement Released By The Mayor's Office Today.
“I Cannot Begin To Imagine The Pain And Anguish That The Families Of The Victims Are Experiencing, But I Hope That Not Having To Worry About The Costs Associated With Burying Their Loved Ones Will Help As They Move Forward And Heal. I Send My Prayers And Condolences To Everyone Affected By This Horrific Tragedy.” 👏 @iamcardib

    I am not a fan of her music, but she seems to be a genuinely good person from all I've read.
