Aditya K says "I was first introduced to Help Foundation when I went to the Walkathon with my friends a couple years ago. The following year I collected around $300, so I could earn volunteer hours. I enjoyed the food and the walk with the people I met there. After participating in the Walkathon, a couple of times, I saw everyone's dedication and I appreciated what the organization was really trying to achieve. So I was inspired to do one thing: make an effort. Once I tried to work for the cause and started asking people for donations, I was able to collect double the amount last year to the previous year. This year I started much earlier before the Walkathon, and I collected nearly $1600 by walking door to door in my neighborhood. I handed them a flyer about HELP foundation that I made and spoke more about it. I called friends and even took the flyer to my school. I came across different people who gave very different amounts. Not everybody donated, but I did not give up. I was happy about one thing,that I was working for a cause. I was not as much motivated by the volunteer hours or by having fun at the Walkathon, as much as by the fact that my efforts could and would assist others and maybe even change their lives tremendously."
