Today's good news story comes from Warwick, England.

Their goal? To bring a little extra joy to strangers' lives.

Each handmade bear came with a tag that read, "Please take me home. Handmade with love from residents and staff at Leycester House."

When the bears were handed out, the impact was immediate. Smiles lit up children’s faces, and heartfelt comments like "You have made my day" filled the air.
