What Mexicans are doing to Idaho:
The news these days is often depressing at worst and frustrating at best. It’s easy to get caught up in the spin cycle and let it get us down. Never fear… The News Blender has you covered. Once a week we feature Something Good and, in return, all you have to do is tell us something good that has happened to you this week, something you are thankful for, a joke, a cute animal story, an inspiring tale of heroics, a Random Act of Kindness… SOMETHING good.
Today we have more teenagers across the country doing good for others.
In Caldwell, Idaho, a group of boys on their way to play basketball saw an elderly man named Jose Gomez fall. Victor Ornelas, Isaac Hernandez, Diego Ramirez, Devan Ornelas, and Josh Sorg parked and jumped out to aid Jose. They picked him up, walked home with him, helped him inside, and treated his bloody knee.
A Facebook post with pictures of the boys helping Jose went viral in the small Idaho community and the boys were showered with small town appreciation – cupcakes, cookies, lunches, and haircuts.
“Crazy how it blew up. We didn’t do it for the attention, we just did it out of the kindness of our hearts. It’s just the right thing to do,” Isaac Hernandez said of the outpouring of pride.

Have you seen these photos circulating on Facebook? A group of teenage boys in Caldwell spotted an elderly man fall down while walking home. They stopped, helped him up, and made sure he got home safely. A passerby took these photos of that good deed, and posted them on Facebook. Her post went viral! I had the honor of making the boys #7sHeroes on KTVB. ??
