Tell Us Your Good Deed

I've saved and rehabilitated many animals over the years; I always try to hold door for anyone; help those who need it however I can, be them stranger or friend; and I'm always willing to listen to and understand anyone; etc!

Why are you participating?

Because I think this project is a beautiful idea!

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I feel that I have been privileged in life to have everything I needed. I strive to show my siblings to never take what they have for granted. Unfortunately, we are falling into a time with economic disparity, where people neglect to notice that economic challenges of others, unless they are trying to do volunteering or community service. Often, volunteering is strictly a structured opportunity allowing people to feel good about themselves. This unpopular view is hard to accept for most but this reality can be seen once the system of giving back is seen.

Why are you participating?

I want to be part of the turnover of this generation; the accepting and uplifting transformation of a generation.

I performed many hours of volunteer work in college with the national co-ed service fraternity Alpha Phi Omega.

Why are you participating?

My "gay" and "atheist" labels virtually guarantee I couldn't get elected to public office if I wanted to. I hope people see that we are civic-minded people too!

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.

Why are you participating?

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.
