Some Good News Amid the Outbreak Vol 3

In an effort to support local restaurants and their out-of-work employees, Milwaukee resident C.J. Krawczyk created a GoFundMe page called "S.O.S. Milwaukee (Save Our Spots)". He did this in lieu of gifts for his birthday, and so far he has managed to raise over $24,000.

Many landlords have stepped up to help their out-of-work tenants by drastically cutting rent. In fact, one such landlord took it a step further. Saying, "We gotta work together," Milwaukee landlord John Zutz left notes on his tenant's doorsteps declaring he is only charging $100 for rent, and encourages them to use any extra money to support local businesses.

Thousands of people have stepped up to foster shelter animals. This helps keep them from being overrun, and also provides a friendly companion to avoid going stir-crazy.

A first-grader in Maryland named Cavanaugh Bell took the $600 he managed to save over two birthdays and three Christmases to purchase and package 65 "COVID-19 Care Packs" and 31 hot meals to bring to seniors. Bell said, quote, "Don’t forget our senior citizens. They need to eat, too.”

On an unrelated, but incredibly impressive note, Cavanaugh Bell also created a nonprofit called Cool and Dope which aims to, quote, "eradicate all bullying and youth suicide through political and social action by his 18th birthday on Nov. 20, 2030.”

Some of us have found some pretty creative ways to hunker down. One Utah family recreated the famous Pirates of the Caribbean ride in their home. Enjoy the video. It's sure to bring a smile to your face.

Before Canada declared a lockdown, a group of college volleyball players were given the news that their graduation had been canceled. The whole crew held an impromptu, makeshift graduation ceremony for the team while in the air.

Something so simply can change your mood. 20 members of a California high school choir know all about that. They got together online to sing an acapella version of Somewhere Over the Rainbow and posted it to YouTube.
