I recently became a mentor through the LUK Mentor Program. It is an opportunity to share some of my experience with a young person, but mostly another opportunity for me to learn to see this world - this Fitchburg community from another perspective.

Why are you participating?

I work at FAM, which has a mission to connect with a celebrate the Fitchburg Community - our FAMily.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I do artwork and freelance mascoting/fursuiting to generate joy to others. People who see the artwork I do become really impressed with what I draw. They also love seeing me perform as my wildcat character, "Cyan". I do volunteer mascoting as Cyan at Boston Renegades home games in Revere, MA.

Whether these joys are simple or big, I believe bringing joy to others can give them more willingness and motivation to make the world a better place. It feels very humbling and rewarding to make others happier this way.

Why are you participating?

I saw the No Evil Project booth at the Watch City Steampunk Festival last Saturday (May, 12 2018), and was happy to participate.

Smiles go a long way, but I love paying for a coffee or soda for someone I don't know behind me in line. Gives them a smile and me too.

To make me smile.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Simple day to day deeds; assisting a person onto the bus, giving my seat up when it is crowded, holding the door for a package loaded shopper, engaging in silly faces with a child whose parent is currently overwhelmed and needs a moment to breathe. They might be little, but sometimes they have the biggest impact to a person’s day.

Why are you participating?

Every person has a story, with a thousand starts, middles, and endings. Not all stories can be told in one viewing, you have to stop and listen. Maybe a picture can help start the tale.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I mentor younger artists and writers. I promote the work of a late artist friend whose work got very little attention in her lifetime.

Why are you participating?

Because when people hear the label first, they have an image ready to pop up into their heads that doesn't usually fit.

I have donated money and bought groceries on multiple occasions for persons in need of food

Why are you participating?

I believe in random acts of kindness and would like to see more people take an interest in doing so, to spread the idea that we can make the world a better place one person at a time
