Our media is dominated by bad news --- wars, disasters and the like. But its not just the bad news because we use the media to beat each other up politically, religiously, racially or by gender.
However, once in a while we come across a story that is positive and heartwarming --- a real warm fuzzy. These deserve to be shared! This is the thread to do that. I'll start it off:

"In 2016, three Arkansas men vandalized a local mosque with racist graffiti. Recently, one of these men, Abraham Davis, was facing years in prison for failing to pay the fine for that crime. That's when the community from the same mosque cut him a cheque. As It Happens host Carol Off spoke with Dr. Louay Nassri, president of the Al Salam mosque in Fort Smith, Ark., about why he decided to forgive Davis and handover $1,700 US."
