Values
Respect and dignity come first.
The strongest version of this website should make clear that people are not content props. They are people with stories, needs, boundaries, and dignity.
The site should keep the focus on humanity, not spectacle, and avoid oversimplifying difficult situations.
Fundraising totals, people helped, and partner names should be added only with verified proof.
Mission statement
Help people, inspire others, and use social media as a force for good.
This site is structured to show that mission clearly: who Josh is, why the work matters, how media and partners can engage responsibly, and how people can nominate someone in need.
