Social media can be an amazing thing sometimes. It has the power to create so many opportunities for us to connect to incredible people and causes all around the world. We live in an age where no matter where you live or what you do, you can help fight evil in the world. I came across Steve's story when my cousin posted a photo of one of his longboards on Instagram, adding that the owner of this board shop was "selling most of his stuff and moving to Thailand to support an organization that combats human trafficking." I was so interested in this idea that I emailed Steve that day to find out more about what he was doing to see how I could help (and get one of his boards).

In my email I asked him how people could donate to his cause and his response was that while he needed the money for his upcoming trip, he didn't feel right asking because "there's so many people who need it much more than I do and I have something to offer in my boards, so I'd rather sell them to make the money." I think what he's doing is extraordinary, and although I can't pack up and do what he's doing, what I can do (and you as well) is share his story and try and help him raise the funds to save the lives of children across the globe.

Please read his story, check out the organization that he's going to volunteer with, and help spread the word of this great cause. And then buy one of his boards. Even if it's not for you, give it as a gift or hang it on the wall as a reminder that we are all part of the same world and every little bit you do can make a difference!
