Trinity Abila Executive Director, Habitat for Humanity of Tuolumne County

" It has been said that fear prevents people from reaching their full potential, and that fear is often a derivative of low self-esteem. With low self-esteem on the rise in today’s youth, I cannot think of a better time for such a hero, as Captain Encouragement to arise. I have firsthand witnessed the power of Captain Encouragement and his confidence boosting encouragement at Habitat events and within our community. He has a way of inspiring people to smile while teaching the importance of self-esteem and looking at life in a positive manner. He has become a mentor and a role model for youth and adults alike. "

Nichole Dumas-Krieger, Parent

" My son is a big superhero fan. I am so glad that he now has a superhero that promotes nonviolence. A superhero he can meet and look up to. He loved the comic and can’t wait to make up his own character. Thank you for all that you do. "

Amanda O’Conner, Certified Child Life Specialist, Children’s Mercy Hospital, Kansas

" While visiting our hospital, Captain Encouragement brought many smiles and much laughter to our patients and families. He spent time visiting with our patients teaching them the proper form for the “superhero stance”, how to fight villains with kindness, and overall how to smile more. Captain Encouragement’s message is a strong one and powerfully important to today’s children. Thanks for sharing your encouraging message with our patients, staff, and families. "

Dora Keuning, Parent
