Here are a few more Good News stories making the rounds . . .
1. If you’re struggling at a dead-end job, take notes from a 10-year-old entrepreneur from Texas named Ernesto, who saved up money from doing chores to buy his own 3D printer and set up his own home workshop.
And now, he’s building his own business, where he designs and prints keychains, whistles, can openers, and stuff meant to help people dealing with anxiety, ADHD, and stress. (Here’s a local news report on Ernesto.)
2. A few months ago, a 49-year-old man named Troy Rowe got a birthday present from his older sister: A kidney. That was a godsend, because he was in need of a transplant, after being diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease.
Troy was “overwhelmed with joy, but also hope.” He said, “There aren’t enough words to describe how grateful I am. She gave me a second chance at life. How can I ever repay that?”
3. A second grade teacher in Arkansas named Lexi McClelland never expected that the happy, funny, book-loving little girl who burst into her classroom six years ago would one day become her daughter.
The girl, Mary, had been struggling through the foster care system and failed adoptions, so Lexi and her husband Max stepped forward to offer Mary a forever home . . . and it worked out. Now they’re family, and Mary calls her “mom.”
