Real, messy hope delivered to your inbox daily, from Good Good Good.
Hi there! We wanted to give you a heads-up that we’ll be taking the rest of this holiday week off — the Goodnewsletter will be back in your inbox on Monday, December 29.
In the meantime, we’ve filled this special edition of the Goodnewsletter with stories of people making the world a better place this holiday season.
🧡 Taylor Swift donated $1 million to Feeding America to help feed hungry families during the holidays, “a powerful reminder of what’s possible when we unite to end hunger.”
📺 Religious leaders are running a powerful “Choose love, not ICE” ad campaign during the holy season in markets that have seen intense crackdowns from federal immigration agents, as well as on Fox News in the West Palm Beach, Florida area, where Mar-a-Lago is.

A 16-year-old just donated 800 Christmas presents to the hospital where she spent her childhood in
Lydia Brown spent the majority of her childhood on the pediatric floor at Northern Light Eastern Maine Medical Center in Bangor, Maine — so the 16-year-old knows what it’s like to spend Christmas in a hospital bed.
That’s why, for four years straight, Brown has donated Christmas presents to kids on the pediatric floor. She calls it the Lydia Project.
This year, she donated over 800 presents, making it her “most successful year” yet. Most of the gifts are donated by neighbors in her community — and she and her mom do the rest, making sure no children go without a gift.
🎁 Last call! Final day to gift the Goodnewspaper and get 20% off!
The Goodnewspaper is the gift that (quite literally) keeps on delivering good all year long — it’s so good they won’t care (or ever know) it was a last-minute purchase.
10K strangers respond to woman’s request for Christmas cards after announcing she has terminal cancer
Based in Wales, United Kingdom, Clare Jones was diagnosed with bowel cancer in 2022. While she underwent treatment for a while, she was recently told her chemotherapy was no longer responding and was given about 10 months to live.
Jones loves the holidays and wrote on Facebook, “After finding out last week that this is probably going to be my last Christmas, I am looking for ways to make it super special.” Her request: Send her a Christmas card.
She expected to get 10 or 15 extra cards from friends and community members. But her post went viral, and over 10,000 people shared it. Thousands of cards have arrived, as well as flowers, chocolates, personalized gifts, and theater tickets.
