NOV. 2010 Four reasons to feel happy about the world we live in (and the people in it).
BECAUSE STRANGERS CAN SAVE THE DAY
"Last year we had to put almost all of our belongings into storage," says LHJ reader Julie Godwin, of Miller Place, New York. "Then my husband and I both lost our jobs and couldn't pay for the unit anymore. The company was going to auction it off--with all of our possessions in it! And then these strangers saved us. They heard our story at the auction and felt so bad that they bought our unit and gave it to us. We got everything back!"
BECAUSE FAMILIES SHOULD HAVE A HAPPY THANKSGIVING
HUNGER--FREE FAMILIES (a new initiative from the charity organization feeding America) kicks off this Thanksgiving season to help provide meals to families who can't afford them. Go to hungerfreefamilies.org to find out how you can help.
BECAUSE ALL KIDS DESERVE TO HAVE A BLAST
Morgan's Wonderland, the world's first theme park for kids and adults with special needs, recently opened in San Antonio, Texas. It's a 25-acre park with wheelchair-accessible carousel and train rides, specially designed playgrounds, a sensory garden and lots more.
BECAUSE HEARING A PARENT'S VOICE IS PRICELESS
Operation Record a Story lets kids hear their deployed military parent read them a bedtime story. Publications International is donation 5,000 books (which capture the soldier's voice reading the story out loud) to the USO and United Through Reading, two organizations that will help servicemen and servicewomen record and then send the books to their children.
