A band made up of teachers in New Jersey had a concert recently called “Teachers Rock 4 Teachers” to help educators 3,000 miles away.  Proceeds went to teachers affected by the L.A. wildfires.  The group in Jersey said they wanted to help, because so many people helped them in 2012 after Hurricane Sandy………….. Firefighters and animal rescuers saved a blind-and-deaf dog that recently wandered into a storm drain in Cary, NC .  His name is Duffy, and he’s 16 years old.  His owner was away, but a neighbor saw the dog vanish into the drain and called for help.

An East Texas community pitched in to help 13-year-old Cason Snider hang out with his friends more.  A car crash in 2017 left him paralyzed from the waist down at five years old, so he’s been in a wheelchair.  People donated enough money to buy him an all-terrain wheelchair, so he can go hiking, fishing, and hunting with his friends and they surprised him with it on Saturday.  It cost about $18,000.
