"I'm Here"

We are all here. Young, old, every color, every preference, every nation. We’re here now. Sometimes we need someone else to be here with us. Sometimes we need a reminder that we are all here together.

We love, we lose, we laugh, we cry, we carry on, we break down, we are here.

We are here to help. We are here because someone helped us. We are here to care for someone. We are here to have fun. We are here to make a difference. We are here to listen. We are here.

I want to put together a video reminder for all of us. Something so we can see who is here with us, something to remind us why we are here, or what we are here for.

I am looking for everyone that sees this post to send in a short video, 5, 10, 15 seconds, or a photo that shows that you are here. Put it on a sign or post it, write it on a board or using special effects, say it aloud, show it by simply being there with someone. You can explain why you are here, who you are here for, but most importantly, just say that you are here.

In two months, on January 14, 2020 I will post a video formed of all the submissions on Youtube for everyone to see. In order to allow me time to put these together, please submit your videos and photos before the end of the day December 31, 2019.

When you are ready, email videos to: ImHereVideo@gmail.com

A few quick things to note:

Videos should be 5 - 15 seconds long
Your video can be you speaking or silently showing a message connected to “I’m here”
- Examples:
  - “I’m here”
  - “I’m here for my children”
  - “I’m here because she saved my life”
  - “I’m here to make a difference”
Photos should be clear enough to see you and your message
Be sure to avoid background music, images, or other motion pictures that may have copyrighted material.
All photos and videos submitted are for the purpose of the video “I’m here”, and will be used to help promote the project as well as be a part of the "I'm Here" YouTube video
If there are any problems sending your media, please send a kind word to the email address listed and I will do my very best to solve the issue, and send you a reply when it is fixed.
Submission of media is an acknowledgement that you are over the age of 18 or that you have received the permission of a parent or guardian to participate and submit a video
All videos will be reviewed. If a video is deemed unable to be included, I will do my best to send a message with a reason why so that it can be changed to fit. The purpose is to be supportive to everyone, but I understand that I may have to make a judgment call from time to time.
Any additional information will be added to the web page as needed, so check back often.
Share this with everyone you know, have fun, and let’s make something amazing!

Love you all,

Aaron
