Pocahontas found Outrage Week so depressing that I promised her I’d have a week of good news or happy things. Let’s see if I can make it without resorting to links to Cute Overload.

When a Missouri family lost their home to a tornado, their Amish neighbors rebuilt it in a day.

The next morning, more than 100 men and boys from surrounding Amish homesteads got to work. Wraber’s brother, Ernest, said the workers “looked like a bunch of ants.”

“Everybody helps out,” he said.

Less than 15 hours after the tornado hit, Chris Graber stood in a new 36-by-64 foot house and workshop, with sturdy aluminum siding covering the walls and roof.

“I didn’t realize that many people would come,” Graber said. “I figured there would be help, but I had picking up the mess more in mind.”

The article doesn’t make it clear whether the Grabers themselves are Amish.
