Here are some Feel Good Friday stories for you.
- An eight-year-old Virginia boy who is a Pokémon fanatic got a surprise from the company after he sold his Pokémon cards collection to help pay for medical care for his sick puppy. Bryson Kliemann took it upon himself to sell his Pokémon cards when he heard that the puppy, named Bruce, would need treatment, with his mother, Kimberly Woodruff, explaining, “While I’m in school I get a text message with a picture of him and a sign on the side of the road selling Pokémon cards.” Woodruff posted the photo online and started a GoFundMe, which raised $5,000, far more than the $800 goal. After getting treatment, Bruce returned home. Pokémon employees based in Washington state heard about what Bryson had done, and they sent him a package of rare Pokémon cards that are hard to find in stores. https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2117846445189790
