We just emailed you asking for your story, wanting to learn more about how you first found your commitment to eliminate global AIDS and extreme poverty.  The responses are coming in much faster than we can get through them. You’ve overwhelmed us.

Below is a submission from Julie in Los Angeles:
 
“I have a little boy who just turned 4. When he’s hungry, he comes to me and tells me what he wants to eat. If he wants macaroni and cheese, I make it. If he wants a peanut butter sandwich, I make it. If he wants a KitKat bar, I tell him no – he’s only allowed candy once a week. I have the option to choose his food and the privilege of always having food for him, and I think every mother should have that privilege. To have my baby tell me he was hungry and have nothing to give him would be unbearable. I would like to spare every mother that feeling, because hunger is a need that every mother should be able to fulfill, without exception, no matter where she lives in the world. That’s why I participate.”
