On the How Can I Help Podcast, guest Betsey Brewer discusses a Native American quote about borrowing the earth from our children and links kindness, community, and conservation. She shares the origins of her family’s privately owned Southwick’s Zoo and explains modern zoo goals like species-typical behavior, health and breeding. She describes her focus on conservation and education, forming the nonprofit EARTH Ltd in 1999 and its mission to engage, educate, and inspire protection of biodiversity through hands-on experiences. The conversation emphasizes the importance of the How Can I Help? mindset with small collective actions like composting, conserving water, reusing materials and reducing plastics. Betsey also details white rhino poaching for horns, dehorning as a major deterrent, Southwick’s rhino encounters and support for projects that fund dehorning and educate local communities.

On the How Can I Help Podcast, Holly Delrossi talks about her son David, now 13, who was diagnosed with autism at 18 months after missed milestones and sensory challenges. Holly describes the fear and isolation of receiving the diagnosis, the value of early intervention, and supportive educators and speech therapists. After experiencing a lack of kindness and inclusion at a local playground, she became involved in a special education parent advisory committee and learned she’s not alone. Seeking future job skills for David, who loves the smell of coffee, she created NeuroBrews, a mobile coffee trailer “Brewing Kindness and Serving Acceptance,” to build life skills and spark conversations that promote understanding, acceptance, and intentional inclusion.

On the How Can I Help? Podcast, guest Michael “Mookie” Wilson recounts his 2009 Mass Pike crash in heavy rain while speeding, which caused severe injuries including loss of upper front teeth and jawbone, a lost left ear, and a degloved right arm. If not for a good Samaritan’s How Can I Help? moment, he may have lost his life on the highway. He was treated at UMass Memorial and later rehabbed at Spaulding, where he was told he was a “walking miracle.” He chose a positive recovery path, endured many surgeries, regained hand function, and eventually played catch again. He founded the nonprofit Mookie’s Miracle to speak to youth, teaching “ABCs of Positivity”: Accept, Believe, Commit.
