Here's some heartwarming, uplifting news for your Friday.

Western North Carolina was hit hard by Hurricane Helene and utterly neglected by the Biden-Harris administration. Once Donald Trump was inaugurated, relief started coming for the residents of the Tar Heel State, and now some selfless college students are coming to spend their spring break helping those in need.

WATCH:

🚨#BREAKING: Hundreds of college students from across the country are using their Spring Break to rebuild homes in Western North Carolina.

Teenage students are traveling from as far away as New Mexico to put on Tyvek suits, clean up, and rebuild dozens of homes.

These are the kind of people who should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.

This is the America we need, young people working hard, rebuilding, and helping others instead of protesting nonsense. More of this, less of the entitled victim mindset!

It gives us hope for the future.

This story warms my heart. Young mature adults spending time helping others on spring break vs immature others out there (many grown adults) hating America.

Yes. Compare this to the lunatics burning down Tesla dealerships and vandalizing Cybertrucks.
