What this website does today
- No participant-submitted stories or public gratitude responses are published on this site yet.
- The gratitude form is a preview and does not accept submissions.
- Responses are never published automatically.
The rule
A person’s story, name, photograph, health information, or location appears on a Dawn’s Heart or WAYGFT site only with that person’s permission for the specific use. There are no composite, sample, or fictional people presented as real participants.
What is open today
Public gratitude submissions are not open. The form on this website is a preview. Questions about the What Are You Grateful For Today? initiative can be sent to hello@waygft.com. Questions about Dawn’s Heart programs can be sent to hello@dawnsheart.org.
Before submissions or stories open
Dawn’s Heart will publish, and follow, written practices covering:
- How permission is requested and what a person is agreeing to
- The channels a story may appear in, such as this website, waygft.com, or a newsletter
- Who reviews a submission before anything is published
- Rules for anyone under 18, including guardian permission
- How to ask for a correction or removal, and how quickly that is handled
- How long a submission is kept and how it is protected
Asking for a change or removal
If you see a story that should not be here, or you want a story taken down, write to hello@dawnsheart.org or hello@waygft.com. Nothing on this site is published automatically from a form.
This page will be updated if the website’s actual practice changes.
