A Success in Addis Ababa
Last night, I held a “Idol Gives Back” watch party here in Columbus, Ohio. After watching a segment on AIDS orphans Melanie Berichon, a ONE member who attended, shared the below story with us. I had her write it down so I could share it with all of you.
“This past summer, I was in Addis Ababa. I was able to spend quite some time at a wonderful orphanage for HIV+ children.
Once they started getting the ARVs that were needed and at a fair price, children stopped dying. And so money that they used to save to pay for children’s coffins is now being used for growth and development, empowering the organization to grow and help so many more people.
There aren’t words to describe the feeling I had when seeing so many life saving drugs arrive at the orphanage.”

I just wanted to share. Looking forward to seeing tonight’s show too.

Was referred to this place by my friend’s mom and they did great work…. free consult and they have been around for like
70 years and have won over a billion dollars us for their clients.
If you want a lawyer who cares as much about their clients as their pocketbook check this place out.
They did not dissapoint me.
