1
00:00:01,480 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: It feels good, good news, positive stories. We share him

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:06,520
Speaker 1: every day on the show Happy Stuff. What's you find? Caleb?

3
00:00:06,800 --> 00:00:10,720
Speaker 2: So, Philly's first baseman, Bryce Harper recently helped a New

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:14,360
Speaker 2: Jersey high school senior, Jake Portella with his prom posal.

5
00:00:14,760 --> 00:00:17,120
Speaker 2: In a now viral video, Bryce and Jake knock on

6
00:00:17,400 --> 00:00:20,880
Speaker 2: Julia Leonetti's door. She answers, and she gets real shocked

7
00:00:20,880 --> 00:00:23,680
Speaker 2: when she sees Bryce. She says, I'm gonna cry, and

8
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:26,480
Speaker 2: then Bryce says want Jake wants to ask you to prom,

9
00:00:26,600 --> 00:00:27,600
Speaker 2: so I thought i'd help him out.

10
00:00:27,600 --> 00:00:29,920
Speaker 3: Will you go to prom with him? She then hugged

11
00:00:30,040 --> 00:00:36,000
Speaker 3: Bryce first. Oh yeah, I'm going right, She said, you're

12
00:00:36,080 --> 00:00:36,520
Speaker 3: the goat.

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:39,360
Speaker 2: And the video ends with Bryce shaking her dad's hand,

14
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,400
Speaker 2: which is really sweet. And as for how this all

15
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:44,680
Speaker 2: came about, Jake said, he literally knocked on Bryce's door

16
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,560
Speaker 2: and asked him and he was immediately willing to help.

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:50,120
Speaker 2: He can't make it to prom because I think they

18
00:00:50,120 --> 00:00:53,320
Speaker 2: have a game, but they think they're going to have

19
00:00:53,400 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: a Phillies themed color as further what they wear.

20
00:00:57,280 --> 00:00:58,760
Speaker 3: But he just knocked out his door and he's like, yeah,

21
00:00:58,760 --> 00:00:59,320
Speaker 3: I'll help you out do it.

22
00:00:59,440 --> 00:01:04,360
Speaker 1: That's amazing. Yeah, so a fire department. The whole thing

23
00:01:04,440 --> 00:01:06,800
Speaker 1: has been rescued by a half a million dollar donation

24
00:01:07,360 --> 00:01:09,480
Speaker 1: from a ninety one year old man. So at the

25
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:12,960
Speaker 1: end of the first quarter, the Calhoun, Missouri Fire Department

26
00:01:13,040 --> 00:01:15,480
Speaker 1: volunteer fire department only had one hundred and sixty nine

27
00:01:15,520 --> 00:01:17,560
Speaker 1: dollars in its bank account and it was depending on

28
00:01:17,600 --> 00:01:20,640
Speaker 1: donations from other departments to protect the small town of

29
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,280
Speaker 1: roughly five hundred people. But it's a whole different situation

30
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,240
Speaker 1: now that Sam Sloan, who's a ninety one year old man,

31
00:01:26,360 --> 00:01:30,520
Speaker 1: gave five hundred thousand dollars to the department, telling NBC News,

32
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,800
Speaker 1: I know how much money they had each year to

33
00:01:32,840 --> 00:01:35,119
Speaker 1: work with. I was in business for forty or fifty

34
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: years in this community. The firefighters made Sloan the honorary

35
00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:41,240
Speaker 1: fire chief, complete with a hat, and they said that

36
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,040
Speaker 1: they'll follow his terms for the gift. All he wants

37
00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:47,720
Speaker 1: is a large community barbecue, wants the department gets new uniforms,

38
00:01:47,800 --> 00:01:50,240
Speaker 1: and he wants the new fire engine to lead his

39
00:01:50,280 --> 00:01:55,240
Speaker 1: funeral procession. Someday, let's week save the whole damn town.
