There are so many ways to save a life. Sometimes it's as big and obvious as causing someone to reconsider a suicide attempt, or swaying someone from the path to addiction. Sometimes it's as small and subtle as bringing light into a life where happiness was sadly lacking, giving someone new hope and inspiration at a time when things seem darkest. Sometimes salvation comes in the form of finding new friends who share a common interest, and having companionship and camaraderie where once there was loneliness. Sometimes it's as simple as being able to lose oneself in the music, and evade the burdens of a too-tedious routine for a little while. All these things, and so much more, can have such a massive effect in a person's life: the difference, sometimes, between mere existence and actively, joyfully living.

It doesn't take very long, when journeying across My Chemical Romance fandom, to realize how great an effect this band has had on their fans: to hear the many and varied tales of how the band has changed lives for the better. This site is intended as a way of gathering some of those stories, sharing them amongst ourselves and celebrating our good fortune at having these guys in our world; and maybe, who knows, someday the band might stumble across it, and be able to see for themselves how much of a difference they've made, in ways they couldn't have even imagined, and how much we appreciate them for the good they've done.
