  • This is a great program

    It’s hard for me to cry in front of people. I feel uncomfortable and when I’m with people tears won’t come. Today I saw other people are like that too. This is a great program. You guys are really sweet. Thanks for coming. Sincerely. (original message)

  • Made us respect one another

  • I feel so much closer to people

  • Great for boys to be allowed to cry

    There should be more things like this & uplifting things for schools on a regular basis. Great for boys to be allowed to cry. They’re always expected to be tough. (original message)

  • I feel a lot better letting it out

    Thank you for today. I came in here this morning thinking it would be gay and I wasn’t going to come. But it turned out to be alright. The best activity (the line) was very emotional but I feel a lot better letting it out and for that I thank you guys very ...

  • This workshop has made it possible for me to make new friends

    Dear Jack, Thank you for today because I got to meet and talk to children I never would have spoken to before. I’m new to Madonna, in fact new to Canada, so as you can imagine I have no friends as yet and as a result, I find myself on my own a ...

  • This experience is a life changing thing

    I was grateful that you came here to do this. If you didn’t a lot of people would still feel left out and like no one cares. You helped everyone up. I had never told anyone that I cry myself to sleep just about every night. I also never told anyone that I ...
