I volunteer to rebuild hurricane and flood victims' homes in New Orleans and Baton Rouge.
I swim in privilege, mostly unthinking, like a fish in water. I seek to bear witness, through service, to justice and peace.

I am a teacher at a non-profit school in Worcester, Ma and I love it. I hope to continue the good fight in education to serve young people in helping them realize their place in this world.

Martha has passed... but is missed terribly because she was fun loving and generous and open to life.

I laughed with a stranger in the grocery store.
Age has allowed me to evolve, experience has helped me see all kinds of connections with people, life has given me more than I ever dreamed was possible, most especially a loving family. I am blessed.

Serve the homeless and disadvantaged with Worcester Fellowship.
Visited booth at Worcester Pride and liked the idea of the program. I am an openly gay man and have been discriminated against on many occasion. I am also very spiritual, not religious, and religious people find that hard to accept.
Volunteering at the local Boys and Girls Club, and being a "big brother" for a member.
I have been a volunteer referee for the town youth basketball league for over 15 years, and continue even though I have not had kids in the program for the past 8 years.

I taught my kids to ask, "What can I do to help?" I try to live up to that myself; sometimes it involves jumper cables on a dark and stormy night, and sometimes it doesn't need to be any more than a well-placed grin.
I believe we were put here to listen to each other's stories, and to help each other along in the parade of life. Applications for free hugs are always given serious attention.
I am in the habit of smiling at strangers and sweeping my sidewalk.
