I work for a daycare and on the weekends, offer babysitting for free, knowing some parents just need a break.

Why are you participating?

Just having the combo of being overweight, being a furry, as well as being in a polyamorous relationship; it tends to offend people and I would like to show how silly I am.

Nonprofit graphic designer for companies who can't afford it.

Why are you participating?

Being a furry, we are not the most liked community. We go through prejudice a lot and continue with confidence.

I own a costume of my "fursona," the character I created to represent me within the Furry fandom. At conventions, when I'm in costume, I'm often approached by strangers, some furry, some not, who ask for hugs from the big pink fox. I'm always more than happy to give them. The joy on someone's face when they hug a giant stuffed animal, the way they glow, is truly magical.

Why are you participating?

I spent the better part of my teen years struggling within the confines of the labels assigned to me, and my twenties breaking away from them and finding the labels that best fit me. It is a project I don't think will ever end, as long as I still draw breath and can still ask questions.

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.
