TELL ME SOMETHING GOOD: Rhode Island Teenager Turns Hobby Into Act of Kindness

We’ve all rummaged through a yard sale or thrift store and found a few items we could turn around for profit. But how often have you used that hobby for good?

This 16-year-old kid in Rhode Island has been buying up abandoned storage units after people can’t pay their bill. Then going through all the stuff to see what he could keep and sell to make money. Until recently when he had the epiphany that he should try and do something good with these units. So what he started to do was keep some of the items and then track down the original owner of the unit to give them all their stuff back. As you can imagine the people are usually shocked when he shows up.

What a great idea.
