Strength in Story is a collaborative, participatory project to bring together a wide variety of stories from ordinary people about how they have overcome the odds, faced adversity, recovered from loss. 

Voting is simple just like and/or tweet your favorite video from our blog and encourage your friends, family, or others from your social media networks to vote as well.

Few reminders:

• The contest is now live and will continue through 7:00pm Friday, September 28. 
• When Tweeting a video, use #StrengthinStory. We have donors who are donating every time a video is shared through this website and using #StrengthinStory, so doing this directly supports our work.
• The video with the most shares from this website wins the video contest! The winner will be announced and featured on our website on Monday, October 1.
