While working at a movie theatre I provided medical assistance to a man suffering from a heart attack. I believe in helping whenever I am able and feel blessed that I could be of assistance to him.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I always enjoy asking stranger how their day has been or simply say hello. It could make a difference in their day or simply put a smile on their face.

Why are you participating?

Simply to participate in a project devoted to the diversity of others.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer for ACE in Worcester. They support African refugees and immigrant families to ease into American life. I help by tutoring the kids and give my time when I can. Just one of the many things I do at WPI.

Why are you participating?

I never want to be seen as a stereotype. I want people to see a man who loves, life, people, and the world. This is an opportunity to look a little deeper then face value and see a little more of what makes me, me.

Chicago, IL

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I've always treated people with the same respect I'd like in return. You never know who someone is and why they're in the predicament they're in. So maybe the guy on the street is homeless but he may have had everything taken from him. Therefore I always try to give when I can. I've volunteered for soup kitchens, gave money and food to homeless, and most of all tried to spread love as much as I can.

Why are you participating?

As a man born and raised on the south side of Chicago, I know many people that aren't the book people see from the cover. I strongly believe you should look at content of character rather than stereotypes.

It is my personal mission to make people feel like they're enough. I try to be the person anyone can go to if they need to talk or need to be told they're good enough. My good deed is making people feel worthy of life.

Why are you participating?

I want to make a difference.
