"Goth Help Us" was founded in April 2006 in the United States and is a grassroots effort to help humanity. Hopefully we'll help the world realize that goths are much more than strange or odd people. We want to try to prove to everyone that goths are also compassionate, loving, and extremely caring people. We also know that depression plagues many of us, and the only true way to rid yourself of depression is to go out and help other people. Maybe by helping others, we'll find our smiles again.

We are organizing blood drives. We are helping the homeless. We are making dreams come true for sick children. We are helping fund animal shelters. We are helping to beautify our cities again. We are helping each other and helping others. We just want to spread peace and also try to help stop the violence against goths, too. We collaborate with already well-established charitable organizations, such as The Red Cross, The Humane Society, and Habitat for Humanity. We are NOT a charity. We are a humanitarian organization.

Many people have asked us if we are a religious organization; the answer to that is no. It is true we are based on religious principles and seek goodness in all ways, but we are NOT a religious organization. We are not here to further divide each other but to instead bring us all together. There is a right way and a wrong way to do everything. We are just trying to do things the right way.

So let's show the world we DO matter, and that we ARE important. Join us if you'd like. We'd love to have you here.

If we all work together, we can hopefully make a difference and change this world for the better.
