HELLO DESTROYERs

So what have I been up to?  


Especially with all these new little graphics and drawings that have been floating around my facebook? 


Well I've started a T-shirt/Printing/Design company with a two of my best friends. It's called HELLO DESTROYERS  


"why?" 


Cuz I think its sounds cool duh! Also because this company shares alot of my passion, and my friend's passion for art, music, and social issues. Just like how I used to burn for you guys my HELLO DESTROYER mix cds, this is me sharing my passion with people through other medium.  


“...but what does it mean?”  


To me Hello Destroyers stands for you, me, everyone. Everyone has huge potential to change or effect their community, their society, or even the world. We can either ‘destroy’ what is good in the world by ignoring those who need help, or we can ‘destroy’ the very hurts of this world by helping to spread the message of change, hope, and healing.  


“...so simply put…?”  


Danny and I started Hello Destroyers as a way to independently support our favorite 'Destroyers’. Those who have given their lives to bring change, hope, rescue, and love to those who hurt all over the world, this is our way of helping get their message out to more people!  


“Who are these ‘Destroyers’?”  


Right now we are planning to work with: Rapha House based in Joplin, Missouri. Their goal it to help young girls rescued from sex slavery in Cambodia; Mwanzaga International, a group that helps rescued child soldiers and women who have been affected by the war in the Congo region; and Watoto, an orphanage in Uganda focused on raising the next generation of African Leaders. We hope to continue to find more partners and share in their vision. (there is a possible N.Africa partner in the works, PRAY!!)  


“What if I know some really cool group that needs to heard?”  


LET US KNOW ABOUT THEM!!! If you start asking us to help your group, or help to spread the message by wearing our shirts, then we have accomplished what we set out to do! This is OUR MIX CD for the world.  


“So are you non-profit?”  


Sadly, no. We both just started this company, but we give 10% of our sales to these groups, and all our designs are inspired by their hearts and passion. But hear us out, “WE WANT TO GIVE MORE!!!” I want to give so much more, but we need to build revenue to run the sites, the printers, the shirts, and sometimes, Danny and I have to pay the rent. In the future, we're hoping to get to a point that we can give up to 50% of our sales.  


Take some time to check out our PAGE on FACEBOOK! I'm stoked, this is something that I've always wanted to do!! Plus I get to talk about Social Justice, and Promote my friends and favorite Groups!! I'd love for you all to be a part of this.
