Sometimes good things come out of the worst tragedies. After the horrific Humboldt Broncos bus crash in April that killed 16, and injured 13 more young people, the focus shifted to helping everyone affected heal. Like many people in town, Mike Yager and his wife Shannon wanted to give something back to the community. Days after the accident, he set up an online store to sell Humboldt Strong T-shirts with the promise that $20 from every $25 shirt sold would go back to the affected families. For months, Yager and his two employees have been steadily churning out T-shirts imprinted with the phrase Humboldt Strong. So far, he's sold more than 12,000 shirts to buyers all around the world. Volunteers have donated time and supplies to help his cause. Orders for the shirts have come from as far away as China, Japan, Germany and Russia This week he was able to hand over a cheque for $304,239 to the HumboldtStrong Community Foundation, a fund created to manage millions of dollars raised in memory of those killed in the crash. Do remember hearing about the bus crash and did you contribute to the fund at all?

Most girlfriends of the Humboldt Broncos junior hockey team didn't know each other until April's tragic bus crash brought them together in an inseparable way. They quickly bonded over the tragedy, and all feel they could not have gotten through it without each other. The group is in constant communication. They have fun on Snapchat to lighten each other's moods, and they speak candidly about their feelings, sharing stories, advice and encouragement. Some lost their boyfriends, and some have boyfriends in the hospital, two of them severely paralyzed. Do you think that in times of tragedy, bonding together can help you get through it?

It can help a bit, because no one else really knows what you are going through
