Tell Us Your Good Deed

Charity starts at home. We tend to forget how much our wives do for us, and sacrifices they make as a woman. Started by making my wife breakfast in bed. One small good deed goes a long way. On a busy traffic day, if someone is struggling to merge into traffic, I either create a little space or let the person go. I believe in karma, what goes around comes around. The guy I help will help someone else, and one day someone will be generous enough to let me through. Respect and help elders. Talk to them. They have enough stories and experiences to tell but some times no one to talk to.

Why are you participating?

Because even if one person is better today thinking about things I said, I made a whole lot of difference in this world.

Spent my life fighting for economic justice. But one of my favorite deeds was winning a court battle for a woman in Tennessee to change the last name of her triplets to hers from the name of the father. The father wouldn't pay child support but would pay for a lawyer to fight the name change! And the mother worked three jobs to support her kids.

I volunteered to be in my town historical commission and we worked hard to preserve land that has a stone chamber on it. The stone chamber (man-made cave) turned out to be part of a ceremonial landscape that was determined eligible for the NRHP in 2011 by the tribes: Narragansett, Wampanoag, Mashpee and Wampanoag Aquinnah of Gay Head, and for spiritual and religious significance by the FCC.

Why are you participating?

Great project to be in.

Why are you participating?

It's important to demolish stereotypes that define women and their worth by their age and appearance.
