This week’s Feel Good Friday stories…
1. Have you ever been pulled over for a broken tail light? Well, instead of tickets, cops in Denver have been handing out $25 gift cards to help people fix them. Advance Auto Parts helped make it happen by supplying 100 gift cards they could use.
2. A group of nurses in Kansas City crocheted a bunch of gold medals and tiny “USA” outfits for babies born during the Olympics. They were going to do it last year before the Games got postponed. So they’d been planning it for a while.
3. There’s a three-year-old kid in Georgia named Reese Hayhurst who’s fighting leukemia. And he loves going to the grocery store, because his local Publix has kid carts with steering wheels that he gets to ride in. His mom said something about it on Facebook last month. Then someone from Publix saw the post . . . bought him a Little Tikes car in the same color . . . and slapped some of their logos on it. So now he can go for a drive whenever he wants.
4. An 83-year-old woman in Utah is now a fifth-degree black belt in karate. And CHUCK NORRIS himself awarded it to her at an event on Saturday. She got into karate 15 years ago after her 11-year-old granddaughter started taking lessons.
5. There’s a U.S. battleship called the USS Delbert D. Black, named after the first Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy who died in 2000. But his wife Irma is still alive and just turned 100. So for her birthday, the Navy invited her to tour the ship. Then she said she’d love to ride in a helicopter. So the crew made it happen.
6. A toddler fell 15 feet from a window in Russia last week and could have been seriously hurt. But a 64-year-old woman happened to be walking by and caught him.
7. A retired Marine in Florida named Peter Ruvolo turned 93 this month, and a bunch of kids gave him his own parade. His family told him to pull up a chair in his driveway, and then a bunch of cadets came marching by.
