What you're doing with this organization is worth more than any dollar amount or recognition. The simple fact that this exists restores my faith in humanity, because humans created this group. Humans recognizing that not everyone sees the potential and goodness in others. There are no words for how amazing this is. Don't ever stop. :)
Thank you for this project. It is meaningful in many ways. And I believe you've assisted in setting many people free of these seemingly innocent but still hurtful words. You've definitely helped me realize that I have the ability to acknowledge it happened, but that I don't have to continue to carry his comments with me. His words are not my truth.
