Description

You remember what the mother of Mr. Rogers said: Always look for the helpers.


Turns out, they're everywhere. Sometimes they're livestreaming themselves doing great work on social media, sometimes they're in a photo, smiling behind a mask as part of a group of volunteers (spaced six feet apart, of course), and sometimes you never even know they're there.


Today, you're going to meet all kinds of helpers getting the good work done.


How can one person in recovery from drugs help another while helping himself during a pandemic? How can a fashion designer help a harm-reduction organization while they're trying to help people living and using drugs on the street? How is music helping healthcare workers and patients rise up and out of the hospital?


Plus, you'll hear how an 8 year-old Stafford girl is helping educate her friends with her very own livestream.
