Episode #13: Riya Patel on #WhatCauseInspiresYou podcast series!   

My name is Riya Patel, a rising senior at American High School, and I founded the Vitiligo Pride Community in the summer of 2019, as a way to raise awareness and funds to find a cure for the skin condition, Vitiligo. I was inspired to begin this community by my firsthand experience with this disease, and I want to help those who were not given the same opportunities as me. My goal is to break the perfect skin stigma in today's society and bring diversity in our everyday environments, while donating our profits to research foundations and organizations that devote their efforts to helping the Vitiligo community.

Overcoming anxiety is hard, but it can be a little easier with encouraging words. OCD is a condition very close to my heart. A few months ago, I posted on my Instagram about OCD and asked if people would be willing to send me a letter of encouragement that I would send to students at an OCD treatment center.   From a single Instagram post receiving only a couple letters, to a website receiving hundreds of letters, I hope to inspire thousands of people to encourage others through a simple letter.

Paul and his wife, Rhonda, launched ShowerUp in the fall of 2016.  When we first thought about a mobile shower unit for the homeless, we wondered if it was even possible. Our family has spent years working with the homeless (first in Wichita, KS and then in Nashville) mostly providing meals, clothing, sleeping bags, backpacks, etc. We have made some wonderful friendships and had the privilege of seeing lives transformed over the years. We always had the perspective that whatever we were providing was simply a "handshake" that would eventually lead to a relationship. The relationship is so important because without it there can be no potential for discipleship.   

We always wondered, though, what need wasn't being met. What if we could start the relationship with a symbolic "hug"? If handing someone a meal is a "handshake", then providing them with a shower must certainly be a "hug"! That became part of our core values.
