Prank It FWD news story

During the holiday season. a non-profit organization, Dosomething.org, and Break.com are working together to help raise money and bring joy to the homeless and one’s in poverty through positive pranks.

“I think this is a very cool thing to do,” said Kim Evans, parent of a student in White Oak, “That is a specific group of people that are not expecting anything like that to happen to them.”

The organization surprises people in need with things that can help get them back on their feet, for example they turned the Ascencia homeless shelter in Glendale, California into a 5-star restaurant.

“I would personally like to get to help with this organization,” said freshman, Luisa Soto.

People can get involved with helping the organization by watching a prank video of their acts of kindness, which for every 1,000 views Break.com will donate 1 dollar and to raise the stakes they’ll donate a dollar for every share of the positive prank videos that includes the hashtag “#PrankItFWD” and all the money raised will go to the Dosomething.org organization.

“Sometimes when people are in need they go into a depression about their life and not only would Prank It Forward give them necessary items for their everyday needs it would also help them bring some humor back into their life and show that there are always going to be good people out there willing to help them,” said junior Landry Seimears.

For example of returning the humor as stated before one “prank” transformed a homeless shelter in Glendale, California into a Five-Star restaurant bringing tears of joy and swelling hearts to the ones living at the shelter, this video is available to be viewed on youtube.

“I believe this is an amazing idea and it would be really cool if our school could be apart of it,” said sophomore Jaci Wallace.

Sign-ups for the organaztion are still open, all one has to do is visit the site [sites.break.com/prank-it-fwd]  and enter your name, email, and what made you choose to be apart of the movement.

“A lot of times in our corrupt nation, we often overlook those that are barely getting by day-to-day,” said sophomore Ryan Owens. “While some come home to heated houses and pampering furniture, others sleep on chilled pavements that have been spit on and walked on over. This wonderful organization gives “people”- that’s right, they eat, sleep, and have feelings too- a fighting chance in this lousy society.”
