Feel Good Friday

BLOG%20Feel%20Good%20Friday.jpg


What would you do if Channel 11 gave you $1000 in cash?

Every Friday now is "Feel Good Friday," as Help Me Howard is giving away $1000 to one very lucky person.

But there's a catch!

Tune into the PIX News At Ten every Friday night to find out what it is.

And be sure to go to our blog every Thursday night to find out what part of the tri-state area Howard's going to be giving away cash next.

This June 5th, the "Feel Good Friday" location will be in the Bronx....near Fordham Road in the vicinity of the Grand Concourse.

Howard started today's Feel Good Friday uptown at the Poe Building at 188th Street in the Bronx, but the rain kept him on the move. First he crossed the street and then he worked his way down the street to a salon called "The Beauty Center".

That's where he met Nadia, who agreed to help Howard give away the $1000.

Quickly they spotted Othello and Alma Willams walking down the street. A mother and son, just getting by. Their faces lit up when Nadia handed them the money and Nadia got to enjoy the gift of giving.

A wonderful day up in the Bronx.

Wow, I cant believe your going to be around my area today, Fordham Road:) If I were to be one of those lucky people I would buy my mom a ticket to Ecuador, so she can visit her family which she hasn't seen in 32 years. She had no idea where they were and I found them on the internet. It would really help since I'm not working right now. It would be a great surprise for her.

LISTEN everybody if you do get the money, you have to give it to someone who is walking around, you cant keep it and give it to a relative, and please stop coming here with sob stories, thank you.

I have a good friend who could use the $1000 to pay for summer day camp here in our local community center. She has been a great friend to me and is the sweetest most honest forgiving person you'll ever want to meet!
Anyway she has 3 kids, a loser of a BF and just went back to school after dealing with several health issues, having several surgeries and even loosing her hearing!

Her little ones and my little one attend the same after school center, they will now be split up for the summer becasue she can't pay the $375.00 tuition for each child so that they can attend the summer day camp where they would be able to go on 4 trips a week, be with their friends and have lots of fun and well just get to be kids! So Howard if your looking to give away $1000 to someone who really needs it and would apprecite it, come on down to Woodside, Queens!
Thank You

Hello Howard;

I would appreciate receive the $1000 as I lost my job in May, 2009 and became behind in my rent. I have 2 small children ages 4 and 9 and cant afford to be on the streets with my children.

Keep up the good work with helping people in need.
