People Are Good. A week ago, 12-year-old Shaquintha Briscoe died in a car wreck. In the seven days since, her family has been unable to give her a funeral because they can’t afford the cost. Shaquintha’s school counselor sent out emails and contacted news stations yesterday to see if the family could get help raising a little more than $600 so the little girl could be buried. About an hour and a half after the story aired, there was an update saying that several people had contacted the station asking to pay the remainder of the costs. Thus, my initial statement: people are good.
Woman Makes Friends by Testing Deadly Nerve Gas. Natalyia Tarasenko is new to the area. So she wanted to do something that would help her meet people.
