astIdahoNews.com and Ashley HomeStore are teaming up every week to bring you some good news during Feel Good Friday!
We want to thank people in our community with random acts of kindness and leave you feeling good.
Recently we received an email about Monte and Kim McCall. Part of it reads:
Recently the shut down resulted in kids having to do school from home on computers. Kim is a third grade teacher and could see there are many families struggling to get enough time for each child on one computer and that some homes had no computer.
Thus the idea to refurbish computers and give them to families in need came about. Monte owns Fatgeek Computers and has been able to give several computers at NO COST to families to help them out. I know the McCalls would never seek anything in return or even mention this giving so I would like to nominate them for Feel Good Friday.
We did some research and learned Monte has restored nearly 20 computers and given them away to families in need. We decided to thank him for his service and surprised him for Feel Good Friday! Watch the video above to see what happened.
If you have an idea for Feel Good Friday, email neaton@eastidahonews.com.

My husband owns a computer store up here in VT and he has done the same thing numerous times over the years, but especially now during the pandemic. I don't know how many he has fixed up and given away, but it is at least a couple dozen, and anyone needing one can contact him and he will do what he can to throw something together for them. We have a ton of older desktops and he generally buys new harddrives, loads windows onto them and gives them away, keyboard, mouse, speakers, whatever's needed. I'm proud to be married to him. I loved this clip!

East Idaho News is the ONLY news show I watch. And I live in Central Indiana - a good 1000 miles away. Well-deserved congratulations to Nate Eaton and the entire team for their recent national recognition for coverage of the Vallow story.

@patriciawickholm3617 3 года назад

He said "it's not that hard" (to re-do the computers). Easy for him, hard/impossible for most of us!!!

@wildbill23c 2 года назад

It really isn't hard, the hardest...well rather time consuming part is installing the operating system (and if you install windows 10 the never ending long internet taxing updates)...I end up buying computers, mostly laptops and end up giving them away or reselling them. I took one down to the middle school a few years ago and gave it to them to give to a child in need...haven't done it again, but I need to start looking for some so I can do it again, but maybe in a different way. Have people submit letters as to who needs one, and why they need it type thing.

Tom Jones Doesn’t matter. With the lack of available testing, there are literally thousands of asymptomatic carriers who feel fine but can still infect others. Any face covering is better than nothing to keep your germs to yourself, especially in places where you can’t social distance.
