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.

On the How Can I Help? Podcast, guest Ben Hendricks discusses his daily mantra “Complacency kills,” a military-taught reminder to avoid stagnation in family, health, work, and community service. He recounts eight intense years in the US Coast Guard, including time on a counter-terrorism team, and highlights lessons of accountability, integrity, trust, selfless service, and using laughter to endure hardship. Ben left the US Coast Guard in 2015 to prioritize family, then faced major injuries, and surgeries that forced a difficult transition; with support from his wife, mentors, and veterans’ resources, he finished a criminology degree, entered Assumption University’s rehabilitation counseling master’s program, built a veteran lounge, and worked at the VA helping veterans with service-connected disabilities. He later co-founded the nonprofit The Garrison Speed Shop, a free, sponsorship-funded, 6,800-square-foot workshop for veterans and first responders to work on motorcycles, learn trades like welding, rebuild camaraderie, and access allied resources, emphasizing positive community, purposeful kindness, and small daily acts of help.

On the How Can I Help Podcast, sisters Gwen Clavet (16) and Mallory Clavet (19) describe how Gwen, influenced by early participation in unified programs, noticed students with disabilities being excluded and a lack of school resources and, at the age of 13, pushed to start a nonprofit. With Mallory’s support and their parents’ encouragement, they founded the Ability Bridge Foundation to promote inclusion through education and community events. They highlight everyday kindness, seeing others’ perspectives, and acting out of your comfort zone for positive change.
