Hey Do Good Crew,

This week, a few stories about what happens when kindness catches you by surprise. You didn’t ask for it. You weren’t expecting it. But sometimes, it changes what you do next.

  • Spotlight: For years, a high school football player cheered on his teammates from the sidelines. On Senior Night, they got to cheer for him.

  • The Person Who Believed In Me: Before the Emmys and Super Bowls, sports broadcaster James Brown had a coach who saw something in him and wouldn’t let him waste it.

  • Dear David: A mother who lost her home in a fire and then suffered the unimaginable loss of her son is making sure his kindness keeps opening doors for others.

  • Goodie Bag: Two support dogs helped comfort a Colorado school after a shooting. Then homecoming gave students a chance to say thank you.

  • Beg-Knows America: I went back to Lafayette to see John Bienvenu, nine years after doctors told him he might have only months to live.

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!
