I have rescued, rehabbed and re-homed 28 reptiles in the past 2 years. It is my passion as every animal deserves love whether furry or scaled ❤️

Skier

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I make friends with everyone at my school - and stand up for them if they are being bullied. Everyone deserves to feel safe and feel they have a friend who has their back.

Why are you participating?:

Because Troy asked me and I think it is a very cool idea. Thank you.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I'm a volunteer for Why Me & Sherry's House, a nonprofit organization that benefits and creates activities and fun events for children and families effected by cancer.

Why are you participating?:

I wanted to participate because I believe in equal treatment for everyone - no matter they're interests, looks or beliefs. Everyone is special and has something to offer the world.

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

For a number of years I have volunteered as a tutor through the House of Peace and Education. Through them, I have provided knowledge, a listening ear, emotional support, and care to hundreds of underprivileged children. I have made myself available to any child in their program who needs a trusted adult and/or a positive role model in their life. I have worked hard for them to know that they matter and are important. I've done this by telling them, and by demonstrating it in different ways. I have given them fun activities to do, and taught them things at the same time. I have given them some of the happiness they couldn't get at home, and in turn they have brightened my world.

Only Child

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I save every stink bug that gets stuck in the house. My friends know this and always tell me if there is ever one on the bus. I'm the only one that will touch them.

Why are you participating?:

I want to show the world that "onlies" can be loving, selfless, and independent, and that we need to see beyond the historical labels.

Mother

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

As a nurse, I help my patients stay well, and when they're sick, I help them to get better! I try not to judge people, but take them as they are. Everyone deserves good care from their medical caregivers!

Why are you participating?:

I like the idea of not judging a person by what you see when you first meet them. You never know what someone has been through in their life until you sit down and talk with them, and take the time to get to know them.
