Looking for Inspirational stories of resilience and community support!

Hello! 
We are working on an exciting documentary style project focused on inspiring stories of community support.
This project is all about people who are struggling in America, but trying to see a positive light in their situation, as well as people who are giving back to their communities. We are looking for sincere and authentic stories, economic struggles, and triumphs. Are you taking a stand for the better and inspiring us all?
Please forward along to anyone who might be interested or if you would like to recommend a story that stood out to you of someone who is contributing to their Community by Giving Back and Creating Their Own Solutions!  We would also like to hear your story if you have experienced an unfortunate hardship, but are not giving up--why and what are you doing to take a stand?  
****In Depth project details below.  THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!! We are shooting this weekend and time is of the essence.
