My feed is filled with bad news, which is my fault for using the fediverse as a news feed, but it made me wonder: Which organisations, groups or individual people in the world are doing the most good for our world? I’m particularly interested in those who manage to do good on a larger impact scale (quantity or quality), but if the unknown person on your street who fosters kittens is a great example, I’d love to hear about them too.
Mr. Rogers told me to look for the helpers in times of trouble. Tell me about your favorite helpers!
James Christopher Harrison, a blood donor from Australia, who has saved over two million babies with his blood because it has properties which can treat rhesus disease.
Yep, 2.4 million estimated lives saved across 60 years of weekly donations. He’s the kind of human you write songs about. Retired from donating at doctors behest in 2018. I hope he inspired new donors.
Thank you for showing me this
Definitely a huge impact for one person. It’s amazing what the right genetic quirks and science can do!
