Tell Me Something Good: Pandemic Brings Together Long-Lost Sisters After 50 Years

Despite all the horrible headlines about the pandemic, there are some good stories happening too.

Like these two long-lost sisters who found each other because of the pandemic. 53-year-old Bev Boro works at a health care facility in Fremont, Nebraska. When she saw 73-year-old Doris Crippen’s name on her list of patients she immediately had to find out if that was her sister she’s been searching for. Doris recently beat the virus, and was there recovering at the facility. The two sisters had been trying to track each other down for years now, but hadn’t been able to.

What a great story.

When Doris Crippen was hospitalized with covid-19, she suffered from a broken arm and other complications. But then she discovered one of her aides was her long-lost sister, and it made up for everything.

Tell Me Something Good: Helping Servers & Bartenders One Huge Tip At A Time

Some of the hardest hit places during the pandemic have been bars, restaurants, and the rest of the service industry. That’s why people anonymously leaving huge tips has become pretty popular now.

Down in Florida a new charity started up called “Put It on Pete’s Tab”. Which works to help people in the service industry pay their bills. It all started in tribute to a bartender in Florida named Pete O’Brien who passed away in March. Pete was a big fan of leaving huge tips to pay it forward to people. To continue Pete’s generosity his friends started doing the same and writing “Put It on Pete’s Tab” on the receipt. Which then led them to start the charity, and now they’re using donations to pay bills for servers and bartenders across the country.

Love it.
