I am all about my community and the less fortunate kids in it. Every year I hold a toys for tots for tats where people donate toys and we as the tattoo shop give free tattoos. We do food drives and a back to school bash to help kids out with backpacks and uniforms.

I volunteered for earth day clean up at Newton hill! I tell my friends as often as possible not to litter. I want to keep our city clean and inspire others to as well.

Why are you participating?

Im very complex and unique, so I do not fit into specific lables or stereotypes. I inspire to be different and true to self.

Every day I help youth to believe in themselves and their capacity for a higher education. I have great relationships with "my kids" because I treat every single one with love and respect.

Why are you participating?

We live in a society where people are judged, stereotyped, and placed in boxes. It is too easy to look at a person and make a snap judgement about who they are and what they've done based on a single aspect of their appearance, demeanor, accent, etc.

I once smiled (huge) at a sad looking man with both legs missing in a wheelchair riding down the street. He quickly glanced at me and I smiled and waved at this complete stranger. He looked away after that glance and looked back when he realized I did that. His sad face turned into a happy face filled with a smile. I wondered if this crippled man ever got and gets people (even random) to acknowledge him with that much kindness and as simple as a smile.

Why are you participating?

Everyone is unique and filled with mystery. Stereotypes don't define us, well shouldn't. Everyone is weird in their own way and we should embrace our differences.

I’m a flight attendant and I like to make the mom of young children feel special when she’s on my flight. Flying with young children is SO hard and many people give you a hard time or even worse they don’t see you as a person. Just an inconvenience. I like to acknowledge them in some small way. Maybe it’s just a smile and a kind word. Maybe a mimosa to celebrate Mother’s Day.

I save up extra money to give to the homeless. I don't need it as much as they do. I like to make people happy to see the smile on their face, makes me happy.
