We judge people by just seeing their outer attire without any knowledge about what they might be going through or what they might be actually feeling deep inside. These judgments can make a person feel depressed.

“The world if full of good people, if you cannot see on be one.”

The Harvey Park neighborhood in Denver’s southwest part is not popular for its passive-aggressive nature.

Ayrielle, who is a resident of the Harvey Park said: "Harvey Park is a great neighborhood, it's got great schools, great people, it's filled with a lot of different activities, like the Harvey Park festival, libraries that have all kinds of kids programs," she said, "People are very friendly."

But one mean neighbor is defaming the neighborhood’s face. He or she wrote a note to Ayrielle, without knowing what she was going through in her life.
The note reads:

"H.P. Resident, You were in the running for the worst lawn in the neighborhood. Please put down the pipe, the bottle, the bong, the joint, the cigarettes and please water the grass. Try killing a weed instead of smoking it. Your yard is an embarrassment to the neighborhood. You're hurting the value of homes. You did not win, but you are a loser."

This neighbor does not know about Ayrielle, who has a lot more to care for in her life than her lawn.

"I received that postcard that said horrible things. Stuff that wasn't true about me and my family. Because this person doesn't know me. Doesn't know that I don't drink alcohol. Doesn't know that I don't smoke," Ayrielle said. "doesn't know I have a kid. Doesn't know that I work every day to try and make ends meet. Like most families."

Ayrielle works at three different places everyday to support herself, her son and her mother. Her son has autism and her mother is deaf and blind. So she decided to defend her herself on Facebook.

"I'm going to be honest here. I'm a single mom with an autistic 3-year-old little boy and a deaf-blind mom. At 24 I'm not only attempting to work 3 jobs to provide for my family, but I'm also trying to fight my depression and my eating disorder. No, my household isn't perfect but the postcard I received today only proves that people don't know the full story and don't care. It broke my heart."

"It hurt," Ayrielle said. "To be honest, I cried. Not only did someone judge my yard., they judged me without knowing me. I didn't see how someone could do that without talking to me, and asking what was up, what was going on. If I would have been able to defend myself to a real person, it would have worked out better."

Now, the neighborhood is getting together over the weekend to help her spruce up her lawn. They decided to do that after seeing Ayrielle’s Facebook post.
