Hi Facebook friends I want to create a long overdue post in praise of the wonderful Flo Osborne.
Flo is 89 years young and lives in Sheltered accommodation in Dovercourt
During lockdown and beyond on in her tiny kitchen on several occasions Flo has cooked up to 20 wonderful fruit or meat pies. (Well over 100 in total ) for us to distribute amongst the vulnerable and elderly through our NEST /Harwich community centres hot meals service.
Every pie is made from scratch, the pastry mixed and rolled the fruit prepared and then cooked in her tiny oven.
This is I believe a remarkable act of community kindness, also a huge victory over age and supposed infirmity.
My frustration is that try as I may I cannot get the local press, radio or TV to write about the incredible work this wonderful lady has done in her community.
Of course Facebook has more readers by far than any of the above.
So I am asking you to share the hell out of this and make the amazing Flo a social media hero .
Many thanks guys Les xx

A reminder that kindness ALWAYS wins! 💕
Last week at school, a bully stole Tanner's shoes and ruined them. But on Friday night, something unexpected happened. His mom writes that a senior from Tanner's school showed up at their door with a special gift. 👟👟 After hearing what happened, he wanted to buy Tanner some new shoes. This sweet gesture has us all tearing up at what it means to be #SomeGoodNews in someone else's life, especially at times when they need it the most!

I work at a local GNC in my small, southern town. An elderly couple didn’t know that we would be open today (which is totally understandable , seeing as they’re not from here and just passing through) so they pulled in and tried to call their insurance company, AAA. Unfortunately, it doesn’t cover their RV. A nice couple from our town pulled in to buy some things from the store, but noticed that they needed help. Luckily, the man helping used to sell RV’s and knows a thing or two about it so they willingly are helping this beautiful couple get back on the road. I love good samaritans and I’m thankful that God called them to be here today. Always help people out whenever you can and you shall be rewarded! Valentine’s Day is really showing some love!!! 😇❤️🙏🏼

Sunday I drove to work, slipping and sliding, in some of the coldest temperatures Texas has ever seen. When I left home, I told my kiddos I would be back as soon as I could be, but I didn’t know when. I had to help get my hospital through an unprecedented time.
As things went from bad to worse with conditions inside and out of the hospital, the labor unit boomed. You can cancel elective procedures and encourage people to stay off the roads, but you can’t keep babies from coming!
Staff took turns working. Slept three and four to a room. Every office was full with air mattresses, blankets and pillows and tired nurses and staff.
During my time on the unit, we lost heat, had a brief linen shortage, lost lots of ceiling tiles, had multiple leaks, dealt with poor water drainage and eventually no water. Due to the amount of patients we had, at one point sleeping nurses were asked to move their things from one room to another (across the hospital) and then COME BACK AND CLEAN THE ROOM so the patient could move in.
Our COO and CFO (and other “O”s) served meals, provided transportation and remained right there with us, giving as much as they could to keep our hospital running.
Our team shared food. Toiletries. Blankets. Chargers. Beds. Tears. Laughter. But most of all, we shared the duty of caring for our patients. And I would like to think we did a damn fine job. I’m so proud of those that stuck it through “lockdown” and rose to overcome every single obstacle presented.
One thing is for sure, South Austin Medical Center cares deeply for its patients and crew. I’m proud I helped keep it running! #itsgoodtobesouth
ETA-I worked intermittently Sunday morning through Thursday morning. And I will be eternally grateful for running water and plumbing!!!!

Sam Bregman, a high school junior in Arizona, raised $15,000 to donate a new pair of tennis shoes & 5 pairs of socks to every child at Galveston Elementary School! Sam, 16, is actually battling his own health issue, but saw a need and a way to help and worked hard for over 8 months to make this happen.
