My 28 year old brother tragically passed away on December 3rd. Today we got this list of all the people who he was able to save by donating his organs. Only 1% of people who die get to donate organs. My brother was my best friend and now not only mine but a hero to these people as well. RIP Dan.

When I was college, the voices started in my head. I lost my 20’s with 3 psych lock ups and the loss of 4 jobs. But I was lucky enough to find an good psychiatrist, who with the right meds saved my life. I’m 56 now. Have a great job...a wonderful family. Mental illness, you didn’t win this time.
This is great. I like the fact that businesses are becoming more pro-active with disabled people. Rethinking the "rules and attitudes" with fresh eyes and working to get them into the main employee market is wonderful and helps all of us become aware of the possibilities.

This is my little brother. He started a charity where college kids can donate a meal from their meal plan to those in need. Last month he got a grant to expand the program. It’s called One Meal a Week and I’m super proud of him!
So they want to take food from those who already need meal assistance and make them give up some of it so that other poor people can be fed? What if you know the rich just paid their part none of the poor had to go hungry for any meal
My ex has one of our dogs and one of our cats. All of our animals were chosen and adopted by me, but... that cat loves him, and he loves that cat. He was my cat technically, but my now-ex became his favorite human (he still likes me just fine, but he loves my ex) and that cat was clearly my ex's favorite out of all the animals XD So even though it broke my heart, I left Preacher with my ex when I moved back home. They love each other too much. I couldn't separate them. I used to see Preacher 3 times a week when ex took his dad to dialysis, but his dad d!ed in March, so I haven't seen my little fluffy boy as often since :( (pic of Preacher in below comment)
I don't believe in ugly people. At least not physically ugly. Everyone is unique and beautiful.

I recently made my will. I’m single (divorced) with no kids, and all my nieces and nephews are already well-off. So 75% of my money will be going to animal charities; the Sheldrake Foundation, which rescues elephants; Takis, who runs a large dog and cat rescue in Greece (he gave up his career to do this); and Newmarket Animal Rescue. The remaining 25% is going to Planned Parenthood.

My husband laughing hysterically during our wedding vows. This photos always makes me smile.
I donated bone marrow yesterday to a stranger.
I recently "aged out" of being a donor on the Be The Match/National Marrow Donor Program :( I've been on the registry since my 20s, but apparently, once you're above age 36, the outcomes for the recipient worsen, so they prefer donors that are between 18-30 years old on average. If you're in that age range and live in the US, register :D

Donating 10k to help a homeless person and their family and keeping it anonymous.
Holy s**t. I'd never call anyone out for contributing to charity and announcing it or anything, better to do it for praise/dopamine/clout/whatever than not at all. But that amount and anonymous?!?!

My father-in-law looks like the gramps from Up.
I sleep better next to my GF.
I work at goodwill and found 560 dollar inside a book that was donated. Every day is a good day.
I sold a van named Carter. I had many interested buyers, some offered $5k over ask price if I’d sell to them, but they were not first in line. I had a family come look at the van first, and I honored my original ask price and told them they had first right to refuse. Two months later I get this.
My car is named Rigmor Snöflinga (Snowflake). She's a special kind of snowflake...
That’s not a feel good story, that’s dystopia. I hope that boy’s father’s cancer treatment gets paid for and that that boy gets back every cent.
