Tell Us Your Good Deed

I was a mentor for an at risk youth in Portland Maine for over a year. We helped each other tremendously and it was a very humbling experience that changed my life.

Why are you participating?

I want people to be aware that children and adults are being prescribed powerful medications to alleviate pain. I was prescribed vicodin at 15 for back pain, and finally graduated to Oxycontin by 26. The drugs took control of my life.

Tell Us Your Good Deed

I volunteer at the Hanover Theatre, I'm a member of the family health center board of directors, an anchor at the WCCTV13 local channel and I volunteer at a local restaurant called Sol Of Mexico. I guess my point is volunteer and do good things to change our world.

Why are you participating?

We are living a different life in this generation, we have to accept people with open mind, sexuality, race, religion and with different point of view. Love yourself cuz nobody knows who u really are! Don't hide yourself from yourself!!!
