Her car was totaled, and as a high school student who had worked hard to buy the vehicle herself, she felt devastated about losing her independence.<\/p>\n<p>But Pedersen, the crash victim, couldn&#8217;t stop thinking about the teenager&#8217;s situation. Despite suffering damage to his vehicle and having his children in the backseat during the crash, Pedersen felt compelled to help.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Something deep down said we got to do something to help her,&#8221; Pedersen said.<\/p>\n<p>After making calls and learning that Gracie was a good student who worked at a hardware store to pay for her car, Pedersen launched a fundraising campaign on Facebook. Adding several thousand dollars of his own money to donations from friends, he raised nearly $14,000 to buy a replacement vehicle.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I didn&#8217;t even know what to say, I didn&#8217;t know what to do. Because it was such a huge gift, obviously,&#8221; Gracie said. &#8220;I had no idea how to express how much it really meant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Pedersen told the teenager she would understand the true value of the gift over the next 20 years, when opportunities arise for her to pay it forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Good deeds are contagious,&#8221; Pedersen said. &#8220;We all want to help. We all want to hold the door open for someone behind us. It&#8217;s how communities are built.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Brothers Vivaan and Sarang Sankrithi have been playing chess since they were toddlers, and their Washington home is filled with trophies and medals from tournaments. But their biggest accomplishment isn&#8217;t what they take home \u2014 it&#8217;s what they give away.<\/p>\n<p>The young chess players decided to donate their tournament winnings to help 10-year-old Atlas Kaya, who has been suffering from chronic pancreatitis since age 4. With no known cure for the disease, Atlas has been hospitalized 17 times in the past year.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I would say that we were at probably the lowest point that we&#8217;ve been since we&#8217;ve been on this journey,&#8221; said Crystal Kaya, Atlas&#8217;s mother.<\/p>\n<p>After hearing about Atlas through a mutual friend&#8217;s fundraiser, the brothers pledged to donate any prize money from their upcoming chess tournament to Mission: Cure, an organization working to find a cure for pancreatitis.<\/p>\n<p>Seven-year-old Vivaan placed first in his section, earning $225 that he immediately donated to the cause.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;You don&#8217;t always have to spend for yourself if you don&#8217;t need anything and you can spend it on people who actually need help,&#8221; Vivaan said.<\/p>\n<p>For Atlas, the gesture meant more than the money itself.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Someone had actually donated that was like a kid and didn&#8217;t spend it on something else, like was really meaningful,&#8221; Atlas said.<\/p>\n<p>When the families met for the first time, Crystal said it provided &#8220;a spark of hope that was really needed during a very dark time.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Once we started winning more money, we always spent it on ourselves,&#8221; Sarang said. &#8220;Now we realize that there&#8217;s a lot of kids and adults in need. So we try to donate most of the money now because we know it&#8217;s not just about us. It&#8217;s about others.&#8221;<\/p>\n<hr\/>\n<p><em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/beg-knows-america\/\" rel=\"nofollow\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">David Begnaud<\/a>\u00a0loves uncovering the heart of every story and will continue to do so, highlighting everyday heroes and proving that there is good news in the news with his exclusive &#8220;CBS Mornings&#8221; series, &#8220;Beg-Knows America.&#8221; Every Monday, get ready for moments that will make you smile or even shed a tear.
