Hi everyone,
When I was a teacher in New Haven, I was greatly concerned with how my students interacted with one another. This was at all times, but my primary concern was during recess. They simply did not have the social skills to be able to play with one another. They did not possess them.
The reason for this is the neighborhood in which they live, which is filled with drugs, violence, and parents that have to work multiple jobs just to keep their family afloat, does not allow for them to enjoy a regular childhood. This is the case in many communities across the country.
It is because of this that I have decided to try and raise funds for Life Is Good. Their goal is to give communities the resources, whether with equipment or with education provided to those who can make a change in their neighborhood, and help these kids take back their childhood. Their goal is $1m raised this summer. My preliminary goal is $2500, though I want to try to raise $10k. I'd like to try to be 1% of that. I want to do as much as I can. So, it starts now.
I'm not asking for donations, but that you share the link with those who you think would be interested in this cause. People can make up their own minds on whether or not they want to donate, so I won't badger anyone. The link is here:

Any donation is accepted and greatly appreciated. It goes to a cause bigger than us.
