Today’s Good News 4-24-23

A study at Georgetown looked at the psychology of “extreme altruists” who’ve done things like donate kidneys to strangers.  They found that they DO see the risks.  They just tend to, quote, “truly value the wellbeing of strangers, and the welfare of their communities.”  So it really does come from a genuine place………………. In related news:  A study found that wanting to be helpful is universal.  People in every country are more likely to say yes than no when someone asks for help…….And finally……………………A woman in England named Carly Burd suffers from MS, but she doesn’t let it slow her down – she grows vegetables and gives them to people in need.  She’s fed over 1,600 people just in the last couple years, but recently, she posted a TikTok of herself sobbing after someone poured SALT all over her garden, just to be mean.  It ruined the soil, so nothing can grow. But here’s the good news:  People saw the video and stepped up in a big way.  Last year, Carly started a GoFundMe to raise money for gardening supplies, and last we checked, people had donated over 250 GRAND. (The GoFundMe is called “A Meal on Me with Love“.)
