In New Orleans, a man has invested most of his life’s savings to open a grocery store in a food desert. He’s opened a store with groceries and other shops. People in the neighborhood used to have to take 3 buses to get supplies.
Dog comforts a dying woman in hospice. Many people in hospice don’t get visitors, and a dog can be a wonderful comfort.

Ordinary people can make a difference.
“No one could make a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.”
