The news these days is often depressing at worst and frustrating at best. It’s easy to let it get us down. Never fear… The News Blender has you covered. Once a week we feature Something Good and, in return, all you have to do is tell us something good that has happened to you this week, something you are thankful for, a joke, a cute animal story, an inspiring tale of heroics, a Random Act of Kindness… SOMETHING good!
Humans, and all of our diverse interests and passions, are a bit weird and a lot wonderful. This story of an adorable six-year-old raising money to help her beloved axolotls and the beleaguered scientists who study them will warm your heart.
Never heard of an axolotl? Meet the tiny salamander with superhero powers, and the 6-year-old who raised $1,000 to help Harvard scientists study its limb-regrowing magic. @SteveHartmanCBS is On the Road in Boston. pic.twitter.com/vzC4JXJoJT
