A Furry Convention Became a Welcoming Party When Syrian Refugees Ended up at the Same Hotel
Some Syrian refugees were placed in the same hotel as a Furry convention for temporary housing after arriving in Canada. Syrian kids and furries alike made the best of what is undoubtedly a weird situation. The organizers of VancouFur made sure to alert the attendees to be extra kind to the newcomers and it looks like they did just that.

A Woman Shared an Eye-Opening Story of How She Was Stranded in London Until a Homeless Man Helped Her
Nicole Sedgebeer found herself stranded in London after missing the last train home. She didn't know what to do (besides burst into tears) until a homeless man named Mark helped her out.
She explains on her Facebook post that she never expected someone like Mark to come to her aide:
I hope this story makes people look twice when they see a homeless person. Last night I missed my last train home and when I finally got to Euston to wait till the morning, the station was locked. Just as I was about to burst into drunken tears I met my homeless friend Mark. He said he would take me to a cafe that was open as it was too dangerous to walk by myself. He left me after a coffee and a chat and explained that he had to go get his sleeping bag but he would be back at 5 to walk me back to the station. (Me being a typical bitch didn't believe he would come back) It got past 5 and he was a no show. As I got round the corner my homeless friend Mark was running down the street towards me. Not only did he turn up but he had to get a bus to come get me. This man who I probably would of avoided eye contact with if he asked for spare change, completely changed such a negative event into the most eye opening event in my life. Mark you are one special man, I will never look down on a homeless person again ❤ This was also his first ever selfie!
