Tell Us Your Good Deed

I keep granola bars and water bottles in my car just in case I see a homeless person holding a sign while I'm driving.

Why are you participating?

I believe that everyone is good, everyone has good intentions and this project will help people to see that.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Everyday I try to perform one small act of kindness towards anyone, whether it may be big or small.

Why are you participating?

Taking the time to get to know, appreciate, and love people is the best, instead of making judgments based on their "labels."

Stated my own non-profit (Young Parent Hope) to support teen parents and their babies.

Why are you participating?

To show others not to judge people! You never know what someone is going through or who they are inside.

I am an outlet to my friends, family and even strangers to come to and ask questions regarding safe sex and the LGBTQ community. I was the first person one of my friends came out to.

Why are you participating?

I have never had negative labels. I created and publicly identified by my own words and actions my whole life. Labels describe me; my personality, my orientation, my gender identity, how I see the world, but I never let them define me.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

Too many times when I'm driving around, there's someone on a corner in need, holding up a a sign about being homeless, or in dire circumstances. Rarely do I have cash or change, but usually have snacks. I offer something to eat or drink that hasn't been opened. On the few ocassions that I haven't had anything suitable to offer, I have at least opened the window to say hello instead of ignoring them. And I make sure my kids understand the importance of acknowledging those that might need our help.

Why are you participating?

I've brushed off the impact of what the labels I've been given or incurred, mostly. But it can still sting when flung at someone as a dig. And it's so important to recognize your good and your deeds.

I like to compliment people a lot because I feel like it really makes a difference to someone's day knowing that someone likes their shirt or if they look cute today in general.

Why are you participating?

People should never be judged just by their labels, being a victim of this beforehand, I felt the need to participate in this.
