Thomas's "Respect All" T-Shirt Fund

This is Thomas; he is a son, big brother, friend, role model and all around amazedly kindhearted young boy. During "Respect Week" at his elementary school the students learned about anti-bullying and respect of others, they were told to wear blue on the last day of the week. The blue represented your support and pride for respecting others. Thomas was dressed from head to toe in blue (even his underwear was blue) He created his own T-Shirt with gaff tape and a marker. The shirt read “RESPECT ALL.” This is something that Thomas is passionate about. He sees the good in everyone and is such a respectful young man. To our surprise we received a call to pick him up from school, he was claiming to be sick and really wanted to go home. When we arrived to get him, it was very clear he was not sick but rather upset and sad. He opened up to his father and told him a classmate had bullied him for his T-shirt. This student embarrassed and harassed him for trying to spread a positive message. He was so upset that he wanted to come home and change his clothes. This GoFundMe is for Thomas and his beautiful message. We want to make his T-shirt and pass them out to his friends and family who stand by him. Bullying others is a real problem; our youth is in danger and Thomas knows that, that is why it was important to him to make a statement. Thomas’s spirit was broken that day, please help us reignite his bright light so that his message will shine again and be even brighter…RESPECT ALL, so simple yet so powerful, RESPECT ALL.
