Shop Owner Starts Pro-Ukraine Wall In Hoboken
When life gives you a brick wall, make art, according to this small business owner. That's what Sharon Florio did when she wanted to give her community in New Jersey a way to voice their support for Ukraine. She place a sign and some chalk outside her storefront and the community quickly stepped in to share positive messages to show that they stand with Ukraine.
"I think it's wonderful," she said. "I love seeing parents explain it to their children. It brings an awareness that not everyone's as comfortable as we are right now."
Traffic Stop Turns Into Tie Lesson
When Deputy Dan Micke in California made a traffic stop, he learned the driver was on his way to a job interview. One problem — he didn't know how to properly knot a tie. The deputy jumped in to give a roadside tie demonstration to help him get on his way.
Giving Life: Stamford Man To Become Double Organ Donor
Meet John Rubino, a double organ donor from Stamford, Connecticut. He donated his kidney to help save a young woman in 2019. In March, he donated a portion of his liver to an 8-month-old baby.
"People give me a lot of credit for saving someone's life. I try to tell them that you get just as much back being a donor as the recipient does by receiving the gift of life," he said.
