6	Mary 12 months ago from Omaha My eyes welled when I watched these TV spots. They triggered a sense of hope. I questioned the tears, 'why cry?' it seems they are a form of relief. I realized how alone and afraid I often feel. Hope is good. Thank you.
7	Jacob Rossell about 1 year ago from Oregon I was watching that and it made me think to help others
8	Dr Jay S. about 1 year ago from New York These are really really GREAT!!! This is more of we as people and the country as a whole needs. Setting a good example for others to follow instead of all the murders, killings, drugs and bad news some positive ads can make a difference and make people stop and think for a moment and CHANGE for the better!
9	Gail M. over 1 year ago from Antioch, CA. THIS IS what we should be seeing more on our TV's than the negative. I LOVE these messages. What a great way to live. Pass them on.Keep them coming.

11	Mercedes W. over 2 years ago from Baton Rouge, LA This is one of my favorite commercials from your organization. I especially love the song, and we do need more compassion and love in this world. I think what this organization is doing is an awesome and great thing, and I know lives are being touched and changed by it.
12	Bev M. about 3 years ago from Canada Very moving, inspiring clip! I have to admit that when I first saw it, I wondered as it appears to be a bully, then turns into so much generosity. I think it also teaches not to judge by first impression. :) The kids did a great job with this too!!

14	Nicolaus S. over 3 years ago from Salt Lake City, Utah Hello my name is Nicolaus S., I am the lead in this commercial (Josh). I just wanted to say thanks to everyone that actually donates to the local shelter and contributes to their town in anyway... Thank you.

22	Horace B. over 4 years ago from Columbia, SC This spot reminds me in so many ways of the United Negro College fund spot of a few years ago when the younger brother offered the older brother his piggy bank so he could have money for college.
