Based out of the western suburbs of Chicago, i-appreciate.org was formed as a non-profit organization to make a difference in the world. i-appreciate.org intends to bring the topic of domestic violence to public consciousness through activeness in the community and the selling of specifically designed anti-domestic violence t-shirts. All the proceeds from the sale of our shirts are used towards numerous services for women and children affected by domestic violence. It is our sincere hope that everyone will wear the shirts with pride and abide by what the shirts represent. These shirts are an affirmation of tolerance and respect towards one another. It is not our only goal to raise money and awareness for survivors of domestic violence, but it is our sincere hope that this organization will start a social movement.

Living united means respecting one another. Living united means loving one another. We live united through appreciating one another. We truly hope that you all will join our mission to make a statement that resonates throughout the world. No matter your religion, gender, or socio-economic class, we ask that you help i-appreciate.org stand up for what is right and against what is wrong.

I graduated from the University of Michigan-Dearborn and am ready to take on the world. Bring it!

I am going to volunteer on Martin Luther King Day, you should too! This is how I live united.

Well friends, we did it!

Another successful year of ASB at Detroit. I'm going to do everything I can to make sure this event comes back to Detroit. If there is anything I can do to help United Way of SEM, let me know!

I titled this piece ASB Coma because, for a whole week, each and every volunteer, was in a trance. We all wanted to help, we all wanted to connect with others, we all wanted to reach out. We accomplished all of that and more.

Wow. A quote I kept on hearing throughout the week was: "Nobody can accomplish everything, but everybody can accomplish something." Now more than ever, I realize the truth in that statement.

Thank you to United Way and their sponsors for making this week possible. Our group, and I'm pretty sure all the participants had a great week, which wouldn't have been possible without your support.

Building this ramp and watching Jason come down was such an accomplishment. My group worked tirelessly and extremely well together. I am proud of all of them, and glad we had an opportunity to make this happen!

Good bye :)

Team 2: Boom-Roasted!

Wow, I'm impressed. I'm impressed with the amount of work that we did today. I'm impressed with my group because after coming off of a day filled with frustration, we had a day that passed everyones expectations.

This is us having fun:



These are memories we will never forget, these are friendships that will never break, these days our lives are weaving and we will remember it all.

More to come.
Peace and Justice,
Muhi

I'm tied for 69th place, hopefully that will change. I am used to being number one, but this week, I am prepared to be second to everyone.

We are working at Ray West Memorial Ramp Project and we went on a tour of the Joe Louis Arena. Being from Detroit, and having 1 year of ASB under my belt, I still feel the need to learn from my experiences. I am thankful for my teammates, all the participants, staffs, and of course, the sponsors who make this happen.

I enjoyed meeting Jason, and I am looking forward to seeing him utilize his new ramp at his house by the end of the week!

I am part of team "Boom Roasted" and we are creating a lot of noise on campus at the University of Michigan - Dearborn and at our sites.

Hopefully I'll have more to say about Jason and his family, and the progress of the ramp in the days to come.

Peace and Justice,
Muhi

11 days. WHOA! I'm excited. I'm frantic. I'm gonna be cold. I want to stay warm. It's going to be awesome. It'll be a great week. We're gonna have so much fun! Detroit rocks.
