I have helped my friend live a better life.
Overweight Stereotypes Redefined
Auburn, MA
United States
I volunteer for my kids' schools and PTO, I have a rescue dog and two rescue cats, and participate in Relay for Life and Livestrong events every summer. I would rather be "making memories" for my children than doing almost anything else.
People often make judgments on first glance and have to be convinced otherwise by interacting with the person a while. And some people don't even interact, so changing their mind isn't even an option. That's sad.
Oxford, MA
United States
I volunteered at a local cat shelter for over a decade - cleaning litter boxes, feeding and caring for hundreds of well-deserved homeless kitties.
I am participating in the No Evil Project because they've done an awesome job putting into action the sentiment that I've long felt. Our differences should be celebrated, not tolerated or bullied.
Worcester, MA
United States
I try to send my friends a card or a text to let them know I am thinking of them, especially if I know they are feeling down. Sometimes the littlest things can turn someone's day around.
I think this is a wonderful project, really showing that "labels" do not make a person. Actions make a person.
West Boylston, MA
United States
Adopted three beautiful children to give them a better life than they may have had without parents. Donate to charities when I can. Teach my children to behave, be well mannered and respectful.
I want the world to be much better than it is now.
United States
I always try to be there for my friends, family, and even others who I don't know as well, as much as I can. I will always listen to them and comfort them when they need it, and even when they don't. :)
This is such a unique project, and it's brilliant! I love it!
Minneapolis, MN
United States
I helped in two different builds for homes for deserving families. It was so inspiring to see how many people came out to help build homes for these families without even knowing them personally...just wanting to be part of helping others in need. It was very heart warming.
Taif
Saudi Arabia
I volunteered to sit up all night with my friend's colicky baby so she could sleep.
I believe appreciating our differences is a good thing.
