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.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

When these pictures were taken, I had recently shaved my head for a foundation called Saint Baldrick's, which raises money for children with cancer, and was raising money for a similar event at my high school. Now I am in college, and unfortunately and battling with my own depression so much, that I haven't had the chance to do something like this again.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I try to be a goofball and send love and joy to everyone I see.

Why are you participating?

I am participating due to a friend's involvement. I love the message this campaign is promoting. I have always been a big fan of the Golden Rule. Spread love not hate and try to make the world a better place.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

We adopt rescued animals. Everyone deserves a good chance in a loving home.

Why are you participating?

We all have an idea of how we look. We all have an idea of who we are and how we are seen by others. For me that idea often makes me insecure, but can make me confident in ways too. It's important to identify who you are, and be confident about it.

My friend said that he felt more comfortable in women's underwear, but his mom found his and threw them away... so I gave him some of mine.

Why are you participating?

Everyone should feel worthy and equal, never less than... I know how hard that feeling can be.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I make art for people! In a time of sadness, joy, or just so they know someone is thinking of them, I love to make person specific pieces and send them to people. It always puts a smile on their face!

Why are you participating?

Labels have affected me my entire life. I was never a 'cool kid' and people thought I was strange and unusual. Then I had my son, Colin, when I was in high school and was further stereotyped and judged.
