Brother

Theatre Lover

Tell Us Your Good Deed:

I regularly donate money to those in need. I don't make much money, because summer camp counselors don't get paid much. But I love what I do. I love having such a big impact on kids' lives. But that's besides the point. I try to donate my money. Just today I donated $30 to my teacher's fund to help with his step daughter's surgery. Sure I'd like to have the money for myself. But other people need it more. I've donated to those with cancer. Those who need money for school. A little girl who needed money to help get new school supplies. That's what I believe in. I believe in helping those out who cannot make their own money.

Why are you participating?:

Labels have plagued everyone I know. The words hurt. It changes people. It makes their days worse. But I believe in the better. I believe that we all can be happy, no matter our circumstances. And it's so incredibly important to be happy.
