• My Neighborhood Hero!

    The Neighborhood Heroes Initiative was created during the 2020 pandemic to acknowledge, and show appreciation for those who protect, serve, and inspire - in spite of the roadblocks to doing so. The upcoming donation campaign will aim to help the essential public servants who continue to work at grocery stores, restaurants, as delivery drivers, postal workers, and maintenance workers. Here's how the challenge goes: 1. Make a donation of at least $10 to paypal.me/essentialheroes. 2. Post a video detailing who & what inspires you. 3. Use the hashtags #neighborhoodheroes #theinspirationfoundation 4. Tag 3 people, and ask them to donate, and create videos as well, following this format.

MOTIVATIONAL QUOTES

Author John Maxwell.

“Successful and unsuccessful people do not vary greatly in their abilities. They vary in their desires to reach their potential.”

“You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.”

A STORY BY SHAWN ANTONIOrichgirl1.png

Author Kobe Bryant.

If you want to be great at something, there’s a choice you have to make. What I mean by that is, there are inherent sacrifices that come along with that. Family time, hanging out with friends, being a great friend, being a great son, nephew, whatever the case may be.
