I have helped keep friends and family members from homelessness for over five years.

Why are you participating?

I love the way this simple project breaks down barriers and shows how wonderfully awesome we all are in our own ways; And how we can spread our gifts for good.

Planning and holding food drives outside supermarkets, and asking shoppers to buy one thing off of a list of top 10 most needed items.

Why are you participating?

I'm proud of myself and all the various labels I fit into, they don't describe me, but they are parts of me and shouldn't be shrouded in shame. I hope that someday labels will not be something that define people but help them expand themselves.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I have a masters in nonprofit business and when I was hired the company used my education to help twenty people that were not being treated and considering how much they were getting paid to have a miserable life. They hurt me and my brother that night and the officer was reprimanded and they did it again. Some people have no luck. I was in distress but I picked him up and put him in the back of the truck with me and our landlord. We got there in five minutes, any more and he would have died.
