All we need is a little hope...

This site is formatted like the popular fmylife.com but instead of stories that scream "f my life", it's little stories of hope. They're beautiful, inspiring and so real it'll make you cry.

A friend of mine, Dyan, introduced me to this site and I really want to spread the word out there.

Please take a moment and visit this site, it's just amazing.

Here are some of my favourites from GMH:

Last summer I was working as an assistant wedding photographer in California during the brief period when gay couples could marry there. While working a wedding at the San Fransisco City Hall, I watched two old men in tuxedos help each other up the stairs in order to finally get married after over 30 years together. GMH.

I woke up one morning to hear the birds outside my window and my mother cooking breakfast downstairs. I've never cried so much in my entire life. I had been deaf since the age of 8. GMH.

Freshman year, there was a crippled girl bound to a wheelchair. For 4 years, she
did physical therapy and progressed to crutches. When we graduated a few weeks ago, she handed her crutches to an officer and walked across the entire stage. The applause from the seniors was deafening. She cried the whole way. GMH

Last week, my grandma who had been diagnosed with cancer lost all her hair. My grandpa told me he had never seen a more beautiful woman in his life. They have been married 49 years. GMH.

I have a heart defect that's incurable resulting in minor heart attacks&fainting spells. One day after a nasty episode, I posted a vlog crying about how I felt helpess. The next morning, I learned 10,000 dollars had been donated in my youtube name to the Fight Against Heart Disease, anonymously. GMH

I adore this site. <3 <3 <3 <3
