HELPER SPOTLIGHT
Usually for my “spotlight”, I shine it on an individual. Not this week. Everywhere I looked, I saw helpers. Fineena’s “secret match” got us started.

Over $2000 raised to get the storage bill taken care of and a little extra buffer for the future. It may get old to some folks, but I’m still riding that high.

Living in a selfish world, we are often forced to question our ethics and wonder whether there is any humanity left at all. But sometimes, a random act of kindness by a stranger restores our faith in humanity and gives you hope that maybe all isn't lost yet. And so, we asked our friends to tell us about the nicest thing a stranger has ever done for them. Here's what they said:
Something we are all aware of, the devastation caused by Irma, here are some inspiring stories of people helping others.

Hurricane Irma has wreaked havoc on the Caribbean and Southeastern United States. Millions have been evacuated, millions more left without power, and as the waters begin to recede and the clouds start to clear, stories of inspiring rescues and good Samaritans making a difference are starting to emerge.
