Daisy the Dachshund gets a second chance

When Tegan Strickland first met Daisy, she was stunned—a 55-pound Dachshund, barely able to walk, left obese by her owner’s dementia. Instead of turning away, Tegan stepped up, adopting Daisy and launching a mission to save her health. With a strict diet and lots of love, Daisy has already lost 10 pounds and is discovering the joys of sunshine and playtime with her new family. This story isn’t just about a dog’s transformation—it’s a reminder of how compassion can change lives, both human and animal. What would you do if you found yourself in Tegan’s shoes? #Pets #dogrescue #communitycare

Atlanta family outraged over 911 call response

Hearing laughter during a 911 call when your loved one is trapped and helpless is something no family should ever experience. That’s exactly what happened to an Atlanta family after their mother, who uses a wheelchair, was locked inside a Buckhead clinic for hours. The after-hours answering service operator chuckled while discussing her emergency, leaving the family shocked and hurt. The slow response from both the clinic and first responders only added to their frustration. How would you feel if this happened to someone you care about? Let’s talk about how emergency services should handle situations with more empathy and urgency. #Relationships #Atlanta #CommunityCare

How Ashview Heights is redefining community care

Shawn DeAngelo Walton is flipping the script in Ashview Heights, turning corners once known for trouble into hubs for fresh food and opportunity. His faith-driven project, Everybody Eats Together, isn’t just about groceries—it’s about neighbors supporting neighbors, youth earning real wages, and keeping resources in the community. Walton’s vision? A locally owned grocery store by 2027, run by and for the people who live there. It’s a powerful reminder that when a community takes ownership, everyone benefits. What would it look like if more neighborhoods built systems like this? #News #Atlanta #CommunityCare

Des Moines’ burrito bikers spread radical kindness

Every Thursday, a group of Des Moines neighbors in bright yellow jerseys load up bikes and cars with hundreds of fresh burritos, sandwiches, and supplies—not for profit, but to support unhoused and food-insecure folks across the city. The Urban Bicycle Food Ministry (UBFM) isn’t about preaching or pushing an agenda; it’s about radical hospitality and building real relationships. Volunteers—many of whom aren’t even church members—say the most powerful moments happen during deliveries, when a simple “Have you had supper tonight?” can mean everything. It’s amazing how much hope and connection can fit inside a foil-wrapped burrito. Would you join a group like this in your neighborhood? #Safety #DesMoines #CommunityCare

Supporting Suicidal Users: Compassion, Boundaries, and Community Care

In our spiritual community, we often encounter posts from those struggling with suicidal thoughts. The kindness here has truly made a difference, and sometimes, even saved lives. But after years of supporting others, I've learned there’s no universal answer—each person’s pain is unique. Logical arguments rarely help, and sometimes, just listening is the best gift we can offer. Remember, we’re here to support, not to solve everything. If you have helpful resources or thoughts, please share them below. Let’s keep this space safe and caring for all. How do you approach these sensitive conversations?

Loneliness Hides in Plain Sight

Did you know nearly a million older people in the UK feel lonely most of the time? Many won’t say a word—they’ll just say they’re ‘fine’ and keep it moving. The signs? Mood changes, withdrawing from things they love, or just not taking care of themselves. Even a simple smile or chat can make a huge difference. Next time you see an older neighbor or family member, check in. You never know who needs it most! #LonelinessAwarenessWeek #EndLoneliness #CommunityCare #Health

When Accidents Happen: Lessons From a Close Call With a Dog

Yesterday, my friend accidentally hit a dog while we were driving through a quiet subdivision. Thankfully, the dog was okay and both parties exchanged information. It was a scary moment that made me realize how quickly things can change on the road, even when you’re driving carefully. It’s a good reminder to always stay alert, especially in neighborhoods where pets and kids might dart out unexpectedly. If something like this happens, make sure to stop, check on everyone involved, and exchange info. Have you ever experienced something similar?

Medicaid Cuts Could Hit Harder Than You Think

Congress is eyeing big Medicaid cuts, and it’s not just numbers on a spreadsheet—real families and doctors could feel the pain. Black and Latino doctors, who already make up a small slice of U.S. physicians, are more likely to serve Medicaid patients. If funding drops, clinics could close, kids could lose coverage, and health gaps could get even wider. Imagine ERs packed and fewer docs who understand your culture or language. This isn’t just about insurance—it’s about entire communities losing their lifeline. #MedicaidCuts #HealthEquity #HealthcareAccess #CommunityCare #Health

Saw a Kid Alone After Dark—Worried!

Just got home and noticed a little kid sitting by themselves on the curb, way after sunset. It honestly made my heart sink a bit. I kept looking around for an adult but didn’t see anyone nearby. I remember being told not to talk to strangers as a kid, but I couldn’t just walk by, you know? I asked if they were okay and they said they were waiting for their mom, but it was already so late. I stayed nearby until I saw an adult come up, but it still left me uneasy. I hope they got home safe. It’s just wild how much you worry about other people’s kids when you get older. Anyone else ever run into something like this? #NeighborhoodWatch #StaySafe #CommunityCare #Parenting
