Hey Do Good Crew,

This week’s newsletter reminded us of a line in It’s a Wonderful Life. It’s when Clarence the angel says, “Strange, isn’t it? Each person’s life touches so many other lives. When he isn’t around, he leaves an awful hole, doesn’t he?”

This week’s stories prove Clarence right.

  • 🛝 The wonderful life of Bedford: A 3-year-old has one of the rarest conditions in the world, but he’s unstoppable thanks to a new playground being built just for him and other kids with mobility issues.

  • “Everyone is worth a latte”: When SNAP benefits stopped, a Portland coffee shop decided nobody in their neighborhood would go hungry.

  • 🎙️ On the podcast: Nextdoor co-founder Nirav Tolia honors the “trillion-dollar coach” who mentored Steve Jobs and Jeff Bezos and made a young startup CEO feel like he mattered too.

Each person’s life touches so many other lives. That includes yours.

Let’s get into it.

With gratitude,
David
