Tell Us Your Good Deed

I put my friends and family above my material items. If I can make life easier by buying someone lunch or loaning them money, I will do it without hesitation. An example would be when I used the last of my extra money last winter to buy my mother an electric blanket, since she didn't have heating in her apartment.

Why are you participating?

To give my own experiences as an example so other will be able to see that, if my labels fit them, that they are not alone.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I work for a vocational rehabilitation program for adults with severe and persistent mental illness. We assist individuals reach their vocational goals of going back to work and school. I have been with this program for two and a half years and have learned the meaning of hope. I have witnessed first-hand individuals go from a place of fear to a place of personal empowerment. Mental Illness is one of the most stigmatized conditions a person can be diagnosed with and everyday they fight not only their symptoms, but also society.

Why are you participating?

I am participating because I truly believe in the mission of the No Evil Project. We all have labels but those labels don't make us who we are. What makes us who we are is how we treat each other.
