[DirtRider]

We are so surrounded with sad and sometimes really bad stories in our news these days, so let see a few feel feel good stories.

Post up yours here, I will start with this one, it might be old but it still make one feel good, well I hope so.

On May 23, 2012, World War II veterans on an Honour Flight from South Carolina arrived in Washington DC to visit the WWII Memorial.

Tim Ward and his German short-haired pointer, Blue, both survived last year's landslide in Oso, Washington. His wife was one of 43 people killed in the slide, and his home one of the 42 destroyed.

One year later, an anonymous donor who read Tim's heartbreaking story in news coverage of the landslide's anniversary has paid off the $360,000 mortgage still owed on the home.

"He contacted his banker and said he wanted to help," Darcy Donohoe-Wilmot, a spokeswoman for Chase Bank said of the JPMorgan Chase private-bank client. "He said, 'How much is the mortgage?' and said he wanted to pay it off."

Donohoe-Wilmot said the deal was completed last week and that Ward has not been told the identity of the donor, who chooses to remain anonymous.

According to state and federal damage assessments last year, 30 of the 42 homes in the destroyed neighborhood were primary residences. None of those 30 had landslide insurance and almost all belonged to low-income families.
