Down But Not Out
Byron Takeushi is the owner of B-man's Teryiaki and Burgurs, and every week donates hot meals to Down But Not Out. Down But Not Out is an orginisation that every thursday takes food, clothes and other essentials to Downtown LA and distruibutes them to the homeless staying there. He is also a regular volunteer to distribute the food. Byron is an upstander because he goes out of his way to help the less fortunate, even if it can impact his business in a negative way, spending time and resources to make sure that homeless people can eat.
To me, an upstander is somebody who helps others and stands up for what is write just because it is what the belive is right. Not for lifting social status, not for personal gain, but because it is the right thing to do.
