Tell Us Your Good Deed

I went with my roommates to adopt old cats from the Humane Society because we knew that they would be the least likely to be adopted.

Why are you participating?

To show that just one good deed can change someone's life entirely for the better.

All my animal companions are rescues, mostly from shelters. We also try to adopt older animals because not just puppies deserve love.

Why are you participating?

Growing up, no knew what to call me. I didn't fit anywhere. So, acceptance is more important to me than what labels I identify as.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I bought a few homeless men lunch one day when I saw them hungry, shamed, and in need. Ever since I've moved to Boston, I have seen a diversity of social class and have began to help people more than I used to.

Why are you participating?

This program is absolutely inspiring and I wanted to be a part of it.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I sacrificed everything I knew back home in California to travel the world to promote what art can really do for all of us. Without passion there can be no inspiration. Art to me is whatever you're passionate about. Mine is being a bboy teaching others about life on and off the dance floor. Showing hope to those that feel hopeless. To me society forgot how to show empathy.

Why are you participating?

To do more than the average and support an idea that could all come together and faces the problems that are more important.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I recently walked in the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention's Out of the Darkness walk. I wear their wristband and advocate for others to talk openly about mental health issues. I do this to put myself out there, because in similarity I hope that others may find camaraderie and, talk about their struggles, knowing they aren't alone.

Why are you participating?

Mental health is on the cusp of being something we talk about. It is beginning to shed the skin of something we refuse to see. People are being heard. As an outspoken mental health advocate, this project represents everything I believe about shattering the stigma surrounding labels.

i have been self-harm free for 2 months

Why are you participating?

i think everyone shouldn't be judged on their past or what they are or what they haven't done and everyone isn't evil so I think this is a good project to be into or on.
