Hey Do Good Crew,

This week’s newsletter has a soundtrack: a fifth grader’s viola and two unforgettable Bruno Mars surprises. But the real music comes from the people who refused to say “I can’t.”

  • Spotlight: A group of high schoolers used their engineering skills to help a fifth grader play music despite his disability. What they built changed what was possible for him.

  • The Person Who Believed In Me: Long before Marlee Matlin won an Oscar, her mother asked Henry Winkler to talk her out of acting. He did just the opposite.

  • Dear David: When a tourist’s purse fell into the Hudson River, one restaurant owner went to extraordinary lengths to get it back.

  • Goodie Bag: After nine months of waiting, a big sister finally meets her baby brother. Her reaction is priceless.

  • Beg-Knows America: Cancer kept one woman from seeing Bruno Mars, but it couldn’t stop her from surprising a recent cancer survivor with a night to remember.

And now, we want to hear from you! We’ve set up a voicemail to get your good news. Call (323) 205-6644 and tell us about something good that’s happened to you. We might give you a shoutout in a future newsletter or on social.

Let’s get into it!
