This is something that always made sense to me. Anytime I’ve adopted an animal, I’ve let the animal choose me as opposed to meet choosing the animal. It’s amazing how even the most shy or scared animals will identify and connect with their person if given the chance and the time.

This could make a difference to those who are homeless worldwide.

“A German startup is making a difference with a backpack that transforms into an insulated bed—complete with solar panels to power lights and charge your phone. This mobile shelter brings warmth, security, and a sense of dignity to those who need it most.”

It’s project is still in prototype or pilot stage, which could explain the lack of mainstream coverage.✅✅✅

There are people who won’t hesitate to help others.

This isn’t one of our typical posts, but I wanted to take a moment to give a heartfelt shoutout to a small, locally owned gas station in Sussex, Wisconsin ⛽

On Tuesday, we were headed to a collab when we got a call from our grandma 📞 Not knowing what to expect, she told us she had accidentally locked her keys in her car at the Clark gas station 🔑🚗

We told her to hang tight we’d swing by her house to grab the spare key and come meet her 🏡

Now, Tuesday was a scorcher ☀️😅 Hot, humid, and uncomfortable… especially for my grandma and her fiancé Tom, who are both in their 80s and don’t do well in the heat.

When we pulled up to the gas station, we saw them sitting in a running vehicle parked in front of theirs. Turns out the owner of the gas station had brought his own car around and invited them to sit inside with the A/C running until we arrived 🥹❄️

This act of kindness meant the world to us.

The owner of the Clark in Sussex has run this gas station for many years, and it’s the only place my grandma goes—because she knows how to use the pumps. She says he barely speaks English, but has always been so kind and respectful.

He didn’t have to do this but he did, just out of the goodness of his heart ❤️ We need more people like him in the world.

So next time you’re in Sussex, consider supporting this gas station. Because it’s not just about fuel—it’s about heart.

One person—that could be you—can be a positive influence in someone’s life.

We have THIS MAN to thank for our beloved Donald Driver 💚 His name is Jim Duffer, and he’s the first adult that believed in him 🥺

Donald grew up in and out of homelessness. He and his brother stole cars and sold drugs to make enough money to afford motel rooms for a night.

It wasn’t until Donald got to high school and made the basketball team that he met Duffer — aka “Big Duff” — and started turning his life around.

Duffer coached the freshman boys and immediately built a bond with Donald — giving him advice on everything from colleges to girls.

For the first time in his life, Donald felt like someone was COUNTING on him — and he wasn’t about to disappoint.

One night, during his senior year, he turned down an invite to join a pair of friends for a night of carousing. They ended up carjacking and assaulting a woman. One of them served nine years in prison. The other is still locked up today.

"He easily could have been involved in that," Duffer said. "But he had made the decision that he wasn't going to be a bad guy. He had too much on the line. He'd always tell people: 'That's on you.' And I can just see him standing there that night and telling those guys, 'That's on you.'"

Big Duff still considers Driver "family” and his autographed No. 80 jersey one of his most prized possessions 💚💛

Positive News to help homeless get through the cold days.

Rebecca Young is just 12 years old and she did something incredible. One day, she saw people sleeping on the cold streets in Glasgow, Scotland and thought, "There must be a way to help." So she designed a solar-powered blanket inside a backpack that charges during the day and keeps someone warm at night. Her invention is simple, brilliant, and full of heart.

She entered her design into the UK Primary Engineer Leaders Award and it's a national engineering competition with 70,000 entries. She won the Commendation Medal through public vote and also earned a silver medal from the judges. Engineering firm Thales loved her idea so much that they built a working prototype. It’s complete with flexible solar panels, copper wiring for heat, and smart power-saving features.

Rebecca said, "To think something I've designed could one day help somebody on the streets is amazing." It’s important to inspire kids to dream big and create things that help other people. And just think, Rebecca didn't wait. She saw something wrong and tried to make it better.
