4 . Shirley Raines was presented with the 2021 CNN Hero of the Year, as she offered hope to the homeless people living on skid row (贫民区) in Los Angeles. Then what inspired her to do so?
In 1990, Raines’ 2-year-old son died from accidental poisoning. This event caused her a lot of pain, and the pain lasted for many years. Raines didn’t know what to do about it. And she couldn’t figure out what she was living for. Until one day about several years ago, Raines visited the skid row with a friend who worked as a volunteer. She met a lot of homeless people there and realized that they badly needed help, not just in finding a home, but in finding themselves, including their own worth and beauty.
Then, Raines forgot the pain that fate had given her. She devoted herself to helping the homeless. Raines started to do voluntary work every Saturday. As she got to know the homeless, they often praised her for her make-up, hair, and style. She then started to make the homeless up. They loved it, and she loved it. Thus, Raines found the purpose of her life. She started an outdoor beauty salon (美容院) to serve the homeless.
Raines also started sharing photos on Instagram, and even live-streaming some of her events so that more people would join her. Things took off, and Raines formed Beauty 2 the Streetz, a non-profit group that provides free food, clothing, and make-up services for the homeless. Her fans quickly began donating to increase her impact. So far, the number of her fans has grown to over 200,000, including many beauty professionals. Some of them regularly donate money to keep the group running. Others spare some time to help Raines serve the homeless. So far, Raines has made a real impact on people’s lives, and she has been considered as a role model for a great number of people.

9 . It’s called the Bank of Happiness, but it has nothing to do with money. Founded a year ago in Estonia’s capital Tallinn, it’s a forum in which more than 2,000 members from Estonia and other countries connect to offer or receive services free of charge.
The site carries more than 500 ads in English, German and Estonian from people offering or seeking all kinds of things, including teaching and tips on cooking. The website is also translated into French and Spanish.
Founder Airi Kivi says the goal is to make people think and act with their hearts. “After the worldwide outbreak of the pandemic, I thought, ‘Wow, our bank is perfect for the crisis and a lot of people are unemployed and they can use it to harvest what they need.’”
So how does it work? It’s simple: You sign up using your real name and post what you are offering or what your need is, as long as it doesn’t involve money or products.
Masseuse Terge Reintem says she signed up when she was unemployed because she needed to improve her skills by learning from others. But she stayed on even after finding a new job because she says it feels good to volunteer. “If I discover a new technique, I want my bank customers to first experience it,” Reintem says, adding they are often nicer than the paying ones.
Member Veronika Davel says she infringed the rules with her first request when she asked for a product: a computer. But she did it unknowingly. Later, she began offering services of her own on the bank’s website. “The main thing I really could offer was English,” Davel explains. “There was a young girl who needed to have better English for her job and I gave her a hand.”
The site has many more offers of help than requests for it. That’s as it should be, Kivi says, adding that the bigger reward comes from giving.
