Support this Book - Letter to Momo

I often promote my friends' awesome work here, and this post will highlight another great project: Letters to Momo. My friend and classmate, Alejandro Souza, is publishing a collection of the daily letters he wrote to his imprisoned cousin. Alejandro is one of those people that you expect to succeed in anything he does, yet his success never gets in the way of his values. He wears his heart on his sleeve, and this book is a testament to that lifestyle (one we could all emulate a bit more, probably - especially the cynical folks like myself). Alejandro describes the motivation to begin the letter-writing project as follows:

A truly compassionate, loving, and caring person only a year my junior, Momo has always been my closest friend in the family. Although we lived in different countries most of our lives, no physical distance ever kept us from communicating. Crushed by his imprisonment and the realization that he had been facing this situation alone for months, I made an unconditional commitment to live the experience as close to him as I possibly could.
My mind was made: I resolved to write him one letter each day for as long as he was in jail.

The motivation to write to Momo, and now to share the letters with the world, can perhaps be summed up best in Alejandro's simple phrase: "Because nobody should walk alone."

Here is a video of Alejandro describing the project:

In addition to the chance to share this work, I like this additional goal of the project: "Donate books to prisons, rehabilitation centers, homeless shelters, and other support centers all over the world."

As you may be able to tell, the project aims to deliver inspiration to people in any situation where they need support. I cannot think of a better ideal (or person) to support, so go here to lend a few dollars to the campaign. And as usual with kickstarters, each pledge level comes with different unique rewards, so check it out in full!
