My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I’m particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if the unknown person on your street who fosters kittens is a great example, I’d love to hear about them too.

Mr. Rogers told me to look for the helpers in times of trouble. Tell me about your favorite helpers!

    I recently gave a brand new $3000 (usd) mattress and bed frame i wasn’t using to an old war veteran because i didn’t want to sell it. I made the phone call to a VFW and gave it to the guy who ran the bar. He was very grateful, he offered me 100$ but i told just give me $5 so i can grab a coffee on the ride home

      Get a point for being bold enough to nominate yourself too.

      I mean it, that was a cool thing to do and I’m glad you recognise it.

      Thanks for helping out a person in need! I hope you’re able to keep doing so, and that should the situation ever arise, someone will be able to do the same for you.
