Happy Heavenly 26th Birthday, Justin!

MAKE THEM HEAR YOU JUSTIN! A NEW JCWWP WEBSITE

https://justincarrwantsworldpeace.org/

 

On your 16th Birthday, you said to us: “Thank you for loving me.”

 

Having come to the 10th year mark celebrating your birth without you here, we will still salute you always and forever and say: “Thank you Justin  for loving us.”

 

There is no timeline or method for dealing with loss or grief. We are so fortunate that the aftermath of your sudden death included many people who rescued us, reinforced our feelings, and still supported us years later when we needed comforting or a listening ear. Thank you.

Dad told stories during your service that you prayed for world peace at four years old, and at nine, you wrote a letter to Santa Claus asking for world peace. Dad challenged everyone in attendance to go out, tweet, yell, tell Justin’s story, and always remember that Justin Carr Wants World Peace. And they did. Thank you.

 

Justin, we knew you wanted to give back to those less fortunate than yourself, but you could not reach your full potential or realize your dreams. So were are doing our best to do it for you. We received rapid responses from our village of friends and strangers to support us. After they heard your story without fanfare, they decided to do something. Thank you, Justin.

 

So this is how the Justin Carr Wants World Peace Foundation got started. These are the things that happened  so we could share your story and “Make Them Hear You”

 

“Go out and tell our storyLet it echo far and wideMake them hear youMake them hear you”

 

A few days after Justin’s celebration of his life, my friend Kurt Wilson convinced his friend Aron Lasky @aartdesigns (whom we never met) to grab the domain for the website www.JustinCarrWantsWorld Peace.org. They did. Aron masterfully designed and maintained our fantastic original website that has been strong for the past ten years and visited by thousands. Thank you, Kurt & Aron.

 

 

A long-time friend and extraordinaire Artist, Gary Lett (@artbygaryvincentlett), created the JCWWP logo. It depicts a silhouette of Justin making the peace sign recreated from a picture his father, Darrell, took of Justin at a USC football game. Justin’s actual signature is below the image. Thank you, Gary.

 

 

And then there was my friend Graphic Artist, Chuck Spina. He used his creative talents, took the five words that Justin described himself as being: observant, skillful, creative, sensitive, and helpful, and made our peace sign logo that graces the back of our JCWWP T-shirts. Chuck also designed the cover of Justin’s Celebration of Life Program. Thank you, Chuck.

 

We are always so overwhelmed by our selfless volunteers, schools, churches, facilities, supporters, and donors who provide us with much love as we fulfill our missions. Thank you.

 

Our current web designer Dave Meyer (DaveMeyerDesign.com), created this 2022 website we are launching today, on your Birthday, Justin. It has been a labor of love and has taken way longer than we intended because Justin, you know how your loving mom, me, your OTTO ( Over the Top Olivia), has to do things. But it has been a learning and necessary experience I will forever cherish. Thank you, Dave.

 

There was no shortage of media because Dad and all our volunteers and talented photographers have provided thousands of photos and many videos. Choosing the right ones was often tricky. We are also so glad our dear creative and talented millennial Olivia Gaines provided vital input to ensure our current layout and messaging are clear. Thank you, Olivia.

 

So, today, September 13, 2022, It is an honor to present the new JCWWP website to the world. Take your time looking at the floating images on each page.  Watch the videos, read educational materials that fulfill our missions of Art, Heart, and Peace, and somehow find ways to make a difference in someone else’s life and Let Them See and Hear You.

Make The Hear You Lyrics
Make Them Hear… Ragtime. Maklordmak. Coalhouse Go out and tell our story. Let it echo far and wide. Make them hear you, Make them hear you.
Go out and tell our storyLet it echo far and wideMake them hear youMake them hear you
How Justice was our battleAnd how Justice was deniedMake them hear youMake them hear you
And say to those who blame usFor the way we chose to fight,That sometimes there are battlesThat are more than black or white
And I could not put down my swordWhen Justice was my rightMake them hear you
Go out and tell our story to your daughters and your sonsMake them hear youMake them hear you
And tell them, “In our struggle,We were not the only ones”Make them hear youMake them hear you
Your sword could be a sermonOr the power of the penTeach every child to raise his voiceAnd then my brothers, then
Will justice be demanded by ten million riteous menMake them hear you-When they hear you, I’ll be near youAgain
