Time for more Feel Good Friday Stories…
1. An Australian woman who has Down syndrome got Covid last month, and was in intensive care struggling to breathe. But she wouldn’t let them put those little tubes in her nose to give her extra oxygen. So one of her nurses came up with a plan. He knew she loved the show “The Wiggles“. So he reached out to them and asked if they’d make a video on how to wear the tubes. So they DID. And as soon as she saw it, she said okay. Now she’s doing a lot better and should go home soon.
2. A former high school football player in Texas was paralyzed during a game in 2009. But with the help of an exo-suit, he WALKED across the stage to get his college diploma last week.
3. The owners of a big marketing firm in Albany, New York recently used $4 million of their own money to pay off their employees’ student debt. 133 workers got $30,000 each. Now 83 of them have no student debt, and the other 50 have much less than they did before.
4. A TSA worker at Dulles Airport near D.C. saved a groundhog that ran out on the runway. It was over 100 degrees, so he was more worried about the heat than anything. He happens to have a background in animal control, so he knew what he was doing. He released it at a nearby creek.
5. A 30-year-old woman in Virginia broke a world record by donating 6 feet and 3 inches of her own hair to a charity that’s using it for wigs. Her dad came up with the idea 17 years ago. The last time she got a haircut, she was 13.
6. A farmer in Australia came up with a unique way to pay tribute to his aunt, who lost her battle to cancer. He got all of his sheep to line up in the shape of a heart, and filmed it with a drone. He did it by spreading grain out in a field.
7. We’ve seen a lot of tragic news come out of Afghanistan in the last week. But here’s one piece of good news: A pregnant Afghan woman was evacuated on a U.S. military plane on Saturday . . . and then GAVE BIRTH on the plane. Her blood pressure dropped. So the pilot descended to a lower altitude, which helped save the mom’s life. She decided to name her daughter “Reach,” because the military call sign of the plane that saved her was “Reach 828.”
