What would you do if Channel 11 gave you $1,000 in cash?

Every Friday now is "Feel Good Friday," as Help Me Howard is giving away $1,000 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 December 18th, the "Feel Good Friday" location will be Union City, New Jersey in the vicinity of Kennedy Boulevard.

Once there, Howard ended up at the 'Toys R Us' store in Union City.

That's where he met Lisa, who helped him give away the thousand dollars to local families buying toys for the holidays.

Hi Howard,

I just watched "Feel Good Friday" for the first time and it was wonderful! I am a middle school teacher and I just gave my students an assignment today:

If you received one hundred dollars and you had to give it away, who would you give it to? Why would you give it to that person, place, or charity? And what would you hope they do with that money.

I tried to find a video of your episode to show my students on Monday, but I didn't see any. Are there any video reruns of the "Feel Good Fridays"?

Happy Holidays!

Dear Mr. Howard,
I just wanted to say thank you for helping out people in need. It's not everyday that you find someone showing some selflessness. Again thank you.

Good Night Howard:

I just finish watching PIX News like everynight after I got laid off.I am a mom to be and if PIX were to give me $1000 I would share it with my church and finally buy Christmas gifts for my family this year. Maybe just one gift for my unborn child.

Great show on Friday. It just became part of my Sunday sermon, especially Lisa's revealing that she tries to help others three times each day. A great Christmas message of service to others - this story and her comment.

Dear Howard,

Last weekend my husband and I stopped by the 99 cents store in New Jersey on Pfiefer BLVD. by WallMart and one of the cashiers there started talking to us, I guess she just needed to vent. She was an older person in her 60s. She started telling us how tight things are for her this holiday season and that she could barely make ends meet and try to do Christmas shopping as well. I real feel badly for her and was wondering if you would consider stopping by there on Friday and maybe help her out with the money you give. Thank you for listning and God bless you for the work you do. I wish you and your family a great and healthy holiday season.
