As 2025 comes to a close, we’re pausing to celebrate something truly special—the Top 10 Most-Loved Stories of the Year, as chosen by you, our Stay Positive News community.

These are the stories you clicked, shared, commented on, and carried with you. Stories that reminded us that even on hard days, goodness shows up—sometimes quietly, sometimes boldly, but always with heart.

We watched a student’s big vision connect a high school to its community. We witnessed generosity change futures through an anonymous six-figure gift. We followed yarn transformed into hope, grief reshaped into advocacy, and faith carried forward through battle and blessing.

We cheered for championship victories and stood in awe of young people stepping up for siblings, teammates, and strangers alike. We were inspired by big hearts in small bodies, hair donated in love, and a single woman’s strength that sparked an entire community to walk.
