Hotel staffers have been hailed as unsung heroes after they refused to close during the novel coronavirus lockdowns so they could offer up their rooms to homeless people for free.
In a heartwarming show of gratitude, the guests have since begun doing odd-jobs around the hotel, including gardening, cleaning the rooms, and building new brick walls and patios.
“We stayed open simply because we wanted to help.”

22 minutes is the length of the average sitcom without commercials, but for one 911 dispatcher, it was long enough to save a life.
The caller told O'Herir he was going more than 100 miles an hour on I-94 in Minneapolis and that he wanted to end his life - either by crashing or through an encounter with law enforcement. O'Herir kept the man on the line.
A few days later, the caller left a message thanking O'Herir and the state trooper for saving his life.
CVS in Maynard, Massachusetts has generously donated Easter candy for those families in need who can't afford to because of the pandemic. They did not have a way of distributing it so we gladly said we would help. If any family is having troubles and can't afford it please email [email protected] and we will deliver the candy Friday and Saturday. Please share with anyone who you may think needs it.
Michael S. Megonigal and his daughter, Marley, wanted to help people who lost their jobs as the COVID-19 pandemic spread, perhaps by buying someone some food, but the two weren’t sure about how to do it.
Nearly an hour passed — until the final tally came to $2,523.32, Lee said. Video that Lee shot shows his manager, Mirian Calero, and others cheering and applauding as Megonigal’s free-for-all wound down. At least 30 people received free groceries that day.

The Colorado Coalition for the Homeless in Denver bought an $8.4M former hotel that has since been renovated into 139 mini-apartments for the homeless.
Homeless people from the city are welcome at Fusion Studios, where the monthly rent payment is just 1/3 of their income or disability benefits -- typically just $100 a month. They have access to a room that is a fully furnished bedroom and equipped with private bath and kitchen area.

Owen and Ethan were surprised by their grandmother two years ago in an Ontario airport when she came to greet them dressed as a T-Rex.
When the boys were told their grandma was coming to visit them in Victoria, they dressed in their Halloween velociraptor costumes, and headed to the airport arrivals lounge.
But their plan fell apart when Grandma came walking through the sliding doors dressed once again in her T-Rex outfit.
A Florida man who once spent a Christmas without electricity is paying it forward literally.
The 73-year-old small business owner says he doesn’t want any other families to spend the holidays shivering. He went to the city of Gulf Breeze this month and requested a list of all utility accounts that were past due and at risk of having their gas and water turned off.
Then he paid off all 36 of them, totaling about $4,600.
What a great idea!.. (for extroverts with lots of friends)
"Today is a favorite tradition of mine. Gathered 17 friends for breakfast with every person bringing a $100 bill. Paid for our $200 meal and gave the other $1500 to our waitress for her “tip."
Unbeknownst to us, she and her husband had recently hit a rough patch and she told us we restored her faith in humanity. We call this “Shock ‘n Clause.”
We challenge you to get your friends together and do the same.

"Your kindness made a difference to my day, and reminded me of the saying, ‘Be kind to everyone you meet because you don’t know battles they are fighting.’"
This is a wonderful story. However, one need not own a building to offer comfort to a stranger. Do what you can as you can.

Anderson says that he appreciates the support from his Bellevue neighbors, but their gratitude is just an added bonus.
“The community has supported me immensely with my struggles and tough times as I had a leg amputated and my fight with brain cancer. This is my way of giving back,” Anderson said.

Senior dorm: six college students move into assisted living home
The residence, operated by Winona Health, offers assisted living in modern housing attached to a century-old mansion. Yet, within those walls, old and new, seniors (the white-haired variety) now share space with seniors (the college variety.)
“It’s a revelation, literally” 89-year-old Allen Thompson said, “It’s refreshing, it’s a breath of fresh air.”
A feel-good story.
Kindergarten students began writing to a major in Iraq 13 years ago. They continued correspondence through the years and are now high school seniors. The major has since become a Brigadier General and he decided to surprise visit them.
In times like this we may ask, "Where is the Love?" It's easy to find if you just look..

Giordano started Camp Serenity as a way to give back.
The pastor at Pleasant Hope Baptist Church in Baltimore, noticed more members of his congregation were suffering from diet-related illnesses. Additionally, 34 percent of black residents in Baltimore live in food deserts. So Brown turned to seeds, in addition to scripture, and started a garden on a 1,500-square-foot plot of land in front of the church. Today, that garden yields 1,100 pounds of produce — all to feed the community that meets weekly to worship.
