Good News Wednesday (7/3/19)
Here are a few of the Good News stories I have found this week that you might have missed:

If you’re in need of a heartwarming story today, here it is. A father and son in Nebraska are at the center of a video that’s gone viral for all the RIGHT reasons.

12-YEAR-OLD GIRL INVENTS MEDI TEDDY TO MAKE IV BAGS LESS SCARY
