Welcome to our Video Project About People Helping People here on MySpace.com.This Volunteer Philanthropy Project began on August 5th, 2006. My friends and I put together videos with a message about being there for others in many ways. We want to help You make it through the tough times of your life and encourage you to be there for your friends when they need a shoulder to lean on.
We'd also like to give You a reason to help a friend, neighbor or someone in need. Even if it's through a few Random Acts of Kindness.
Our goal from the start has been to Create an Interactive Place Here on MySpace where People can All Come Together to Help Others, and this is already happening.
A few of my close friends are volunteering our time to help put all this together. Thanks to all of them for their help.
You can find all our videos to the left side of the screen. Each series of videos is about a different project. We took on homelessness as a social issue we want to help people become more aware about. We want to introduce you to some of the people who are out there living on the streets and show you how we can all come together as a community and help. We also hope you'll want to organize you're own way of helping in your city and town as a result. Currently we're working towards helping improve the life of a homeless family here in South Florida. We've partnered with a professional agency to try and help bring them off the streets. Please watch a few of our videos and be a part of this experience.
We're also helping people through random acts of kindness hoping someone watching will do something nice for someone else. Also watch as we're turning a rock from Las Vegas into an RV to help spread our motivational message about helping others across the country during a cross-country tour. The rock symbolizes my life hitting rock bottom years ago and now making a comeback. Our Road Tour is in the works and set to begin when we reach 200,000 MySpace Friends.
We're hoping some of these clips will help make a difference around the world, and some of them are already beginning to inspire others. This is our positive contribution and a way of giving back to society.
Our Video Project first began here on MySpace as a light hearted way to do something huge and make an impact on society by helping others laugh and feel better, helping them get over the tough times and challenges they may face. It began as entertainment, but then we then began taking on bigger social issues to help others in bigger ways. So now it's a combination of the two.
I went through some life changing experiences a few years ago and faced lots of tragedy and loss in my life. My Mother, Sister and Grandmother all passed away during the course of two years. I miss them all so much.

After losing my loved ones, I left my career as a Television News Reporter to come home and take care of loose ends and family matters. It seemed like home was the most important place to be at that point.
I was hurting and it felt like I hit rockbottom. My life fell apart, but I was not alone in all this. With lots of help from my friends and extended family, people close to me stepped in acting as a safety net. They helped keep me on my feet and supported me. This helped me realize there was a reason to live and continue moving forward in life and there are great things to live for. I never once thought about throwing in the towel. I was able to fill the void in my life with the people around me and through happier moments which made me feel better. It's the simpler things which really count, and that's what I relied on. Many of you can relate to this if you've ever experienced the loss of a job or loved one close to you, but hang in there and keep your head up because things do eventually get better. There's a light at the end of the tunnel waiting for you to pull through. I want you to be strong and let my story inspire you to make it.
This is our way of making a positive impact on society, with the purpose of making videos to help bring everyone together so we can all help others. We're going to introduce you to people that will touch your lives and will leave a lasting impact on you.
The best part about this project is you play an interactive role. We encourage you to message your ideas for content and videos and we'll do our best to put some on the board and bring them to you. Since the start, our project has been a volunteer effort which works through countless hours of volunteer manpower and through your support. We have not and do not accept monetary donations and are not making any money on this initiative.
