He made an unexpected but life-changing choice: he called an Uber. "I didn&rsquo;t have very good insurance, and I was worried about the cost," Romano, now 29, explained. When Beni Lukumu, the Uber driver, learned that Romano had no family nearby, he did more than just offer a ride; he stayed with Joey through his entire recovery at the hospital, becoming the unsung hero Joey never knew he needed. "That one act of kindness helped me see the good in the world again," Joey shares, reflecting on how Beni's warmth and generosity pulled him from a dark period in life following the loss of his brother. Seven years after Romano's injury, the two men's bond continues to shine today, elucidating how a single moment of understanding can forge lifelong friendships. In a divided world, Beni offers a shiningly simple reminder: "What we need is love and kindness."</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10453-68cb6651d1429.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10453-68cb6651d1429.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Beni Lukumu</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 18 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>What Happens When You Trade Doomscrolling for Hopescrolling</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10451</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10451</guid> <description>Psychologists define doomscrolling as &ldquo;the compulsive act of endlessly scrolling through negative or distressing news on social media, often leading to heightened anxiety or stress&hellip;&rdquo; This is by design to capture and keep our attention, and &ldquo;attacks us where we&rsquo;re most vulnerable by taking advantage of our innate need to scan our environment for threats.&rdquo; In an attempt to counter doomscrolling, Jennifer Mercieca, professor of communication and journalism, created hopescroll &ndash; looking for positive news. &ldquo;Intentionally reading solutions journalism inspired my students to become better critical thinkers about the media content they consume and gave them hope that solutions to our problems are possible.&rdquo; Other suggestions include being intentional on how you spend your time online, setting limits on your media time, and subscribing to non-outrage-based news and solutions-based journalism.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10451-68c9d6825c8d5.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10451-68c9d6825c8d5.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Maharishi Mahesh Yogi</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 17 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>He Quit His Job to Start a Nonprofit to Pick Up Trash Across the City</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10449</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10449</guid> <description>Juan Eduardo Naula moved to Los Angeles for a job opportunity that turned out to be a scam. Obviously, he was disheartened. He began picking up trash from the streets, and found it therapeutic. Juan even built receptacles for the neighborhood. He took a new job, but soon quit in order to pick up trash, relying on donations and people to keep his operation going, while inspiring others to clean up their own streets. Juan&rsquo;s social media following grew to nearly 50,000 followers, and some join him each week to literally pick up garbage across L.A. "Hopefully, we can have a thousand people start doing this. That would be awesome. We can make a club," Naula said. "I really love what I'm doing.

Peter M. Wayne, Harvard Medical School's Bernard Osher Associate Professor, illuminates eight core principles that balance body, mind, and spirit, fostering resilience in the chaos of everyday life. Picture yourself, rooted like a tree, living with an intentional focus. This "emotional form of self defense," as Wayne calls it, can offer insights to reshape perspectives, proving that even small, deliberate movements can ripple into presence.&nbsp;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10450-68c3ada08fafa.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10450-68c3ada08fafa.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Unknown</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 12 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Denver Neurosurgeon Performs Rare Surgery to Help Former Paramedic Walk His Daughter Down the Aisle</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10448</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10448</guid> <description>In 1995, paramedic Russell McKeehan&rsquo;s ambulance driver fell asleep and rolled the vehicle. The resulting injury eventually left him paralyzed from the neck down. After accommodating his disabilities, he sought a surgical intervention from neurosurgeon Dr. Scott Falci. In what some called a miracle, he regained the ability to use his arms and legs. Later, he was in another auto accident in which he broke his neck, humerus, several ribs, and bones in his sternum. But Russell had a dream to walk his daughter down the aisle on her wedding day. He once again reached out to Dr. Falci in a &ldquo;rarer surgery; one that only 10% of patients will ever receive&hellip;&rdquo; &ldquo;Twelve hours after the surgery, we weren&rsquo;t expecting this, he&rsquo;s moving his arm, he&rsquo;s pulling his arm up to his face, and he&rsquo;s kicking his left leg,&rdquo; the doctor said. &ldquo;He&rsquo;s a highly motivated guy, and he&rsquo;s been through a lot, and, yeah, what he&rsquo;s achieved, just with self-determination and desire is amazing.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10448-68b7de1ee768e.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10448-68b7de1ee768e.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Ralph Waldo Emerson</dc:creator> <pubDate>Sun, 07 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Omaha Rallies Behind Local Chef, Turning His Food Truck Dream Into Reality</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10444</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10444</guid> <description>Omaha chef Jeremy McCoy dreamed of sharing his love of cooking with as many people as possible by owning a food truck. Recently, as a street vendor, he offered an Omaha Police Lieutenant a plate of food while he was patrolling nearby. &ldquo;That small act sparked a friendship and showed me how food can break down barriers and bring people together. It reminded me why I love doing this: food has the power to unite us, no matter our background." The lieutenant posted Jeremy&rsquo;s GoFundMe, and the fundraiser brought in enough that Jeremy will soon be able to launch his dream. &ldquo;It brought a lot of tears to my eyes, but it still hasn&rsquo;t sunken in that I&rsquo;m going to have a food&nbsp;truck,&rdquo; he said.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10444-68b0036c7f6fc.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10444-68b0036c7f6fc.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Jeremy McCoy</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 04 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>This Mom’s Cookie Business Is Changing Lives For Adults With Autism</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10446</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10446</guid> <description>When her autistic son was only six years old, Kelly Castro learned how extremely limited job opportunities are for adults on the spectrum. That awareness and watching her son enjoy making cookies led her and her husband to start Carson&rsquo;s Cookie Dough employing differently abled adults. It has grown from selling raw cookie dough into a bakery shipping cookies nationwide. They also showcase products from other businesses that share their mission. &ldquo;The shop doesn&rsquo;t just make cookies&mdash;it makes opportunities. Students learn everything from mixing ingredients and running the register to interacting with customers. Clear, step-by-step instructions help build confidence, and the goal isn&rsquo;t for them to stay forever. Instead, Castro hopes the experience gives them the skills and courage to move on to other jobs where they can pursue their dreams.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10446-68b2a98b5e292.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10446-68b2a98b5e292.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Peter Senge</dc:creator> <pubDate>Wed, 03 Sep 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Unseen Impact: One Man's Vision</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10447</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10447</guid> <description>Mahantesh G. Kivadasannavar&rsquo;s journey from a small village in Karnataka to becoming a beacon for thousands of disabled individuals in India is nothing short of inspiring. Blinded at six months due to illness, he refused to let his disability define him. Despite initial setbacks, his tenacity led to the founding of the Samarthanam Trust for the Disabled, which has empowered over 35,000 differently-abled people to pursue education and gainful employment. His efforts ushered in a revolution in blind cricket, transforming sport into a powerful force for self-expression and recognition. "Cricket isn&rsquo;t just a sport for us," says Mahantesh, emphasizing its role in empowerment. His story is a testament to the power of belief, action, and community. "Believe in your abilities. Don&rsquo;t think about your disability," echoes Mahantesh's sentiment, as he opens the door to a more inclusive world.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10447-68b3fee73ac84.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10447-68b3fee73ac84.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Roy T.

To better understand it, 300 people at Mount Royal University in Canada joined together to enact a Human Spiderweb. People related what it was like to be in a shared experience: &ldquo;the beating of the drums as we moved in unison, our motions guided each other to make the web happen.&rdquo; &ldquo;I felt like I was part of something important and impactful. I felt like I mattered in some way.&rdquo; Participants described emotions such as awe, tearing up and eyes widening, feeling inspiration, happiness, fulfillment, amazement, powerful connection, collective effervescence, and a sense of social belonging they continued to savor. They hope it will be an annual event, and encourage others to &ldquo;demonstrate their commitment to the inclusion of Indigenous histories, cultures, languages, and knowledge.&rdquo;</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10442-68b0a95c8cd18.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10442-68b0a95c8cd18.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Llewellyn Vaughan-Lee</dc:creator> <pubDate>Fri, 29 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item> <item> <title>Turtle Champions: 36 Years Strong</title> <link>https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10445</link> <guid isPermaLink="true">https://www.dailygood.org/view.php?qid=10445</guid> <description>In Chennai, India, a dedicated group known as the Students&rsquo; Sea Turtle Conservation Network (SSTCN) spends their nights on the beach, protecting the vulnerable olive ridley turtles from threats like poaching and habitat destruction. They walk 14 kilometers each night during the nesting season, securing turtle eggs and ensuring the hatchlings safely reach the sea. "The tracks created by turtles on the beach sand before laying their eggs are the most beautiful imprints I&rsquo;ve ever witnessed," shares volunteer Gopala Krishnan HA. For them, it's not just about conservation; it's a deep personal connection to marine life. Despite facing modern threats like artificial lighting and unsustainable fishing practices, SSTCN&rsquo;s efforts have prevented the turtles' local extinction, making Chennai a key nesting site.</description> <media:content url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/small/10445-68b0037b07874.jpg" medium="image" /> <media:thumbnail url="https://www.dailygood.org/qp_images/350/10445-68b0037b07874.jpg" /> <dc:creator>Jane Goodall</dc:creator> <pubDate>Thu, 28 Aug 2025 00:00:00 -0700</pubDate> </item></channel></rss>If you would like to create a banner that links to this page (i.e. this validation result), do the following:
