Where do children go when their immune system is compromised. Many children have battled cancer and other illnesses that leave them susceptible to germs. One of the parents of a sick child became aware while in the hospital when her daughter was being treated there was an area for kids to socialize. Nancy Zuch decided to open the Morgan Center and named after her daughter who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of 2. Her daughter is now 13 and cancer free. Zuch remembered how difficult it was when Morgan had to be isolated from other children for the fear of becoming sick from them. The Morgan Center was opened in 2003 and has provided a free preschool for 150 children. The center looks like any other preschool. The differences are that the children need to sanitize their hands throughout the day and have their own individualized supplies: glue, crayon, scissors, Play-Doh, etc. The center is completely ran on private donations and fundraisers and the students are referred by local hospital. Parents have made friends with each other and they have become a support team for one and another. The Morgan Center is located in Hicksville, New York. A second one is opening in Long Island, NY.

A Westminster dog was not always pampered and adored. Maverick a Weimaraner spent most of its days in a crate for years. He suffered from nose infections, malnutrition, and self mutilation of himself, where he chewed his tail raw. Dan Stalling heard about Maverick through a friend that read an ad from the previous owner on Craigslist. Stalling bought the dog from the man and nursed Maverick back to health. Stalling said " it took weeks for Maverick to eat normally and he had to build up his appetite. He had to treat him daily for his nose, paws and tail infections and during this time he gave him tons of TLC. He socialized him to the world. After 5 months, and his second show, he took the breed. Shortly after, he earned his Grand Champion title."

Starbucks are creating jobs by selling wristbands. The wristbands are manufactured in existing American manufacturing plants. All the materials 100% of it is from the U.S.A. The red, white, and blue cord is manufactured in Rhode Island and the brass crimps come from Florida. The zinc alloy bead is made in a woman-owned manufacturing plant in Los Angeles and this also where the wristband is assembled. Starbucks had distributed more than 500,000 wristband within the last three months. The band cost $5.00 and are intended to loan small businesses loans, nonprofits organizations and other organizations that will create jobs for Americans. The program so far has raised $2 million coupled by $5 million seed money that Starbucks already donated. Starbucks expects to create at least 2,300 jobs.
