American Idol has raised over $30 million dollars so far tonight to give back to poverty stricken families in both the US and in Africa. The statistics and facts about how many people are starving to death or dying from disease that can be prevented and treated is alarming and terrifying.

I have donated to the charity and I have also bought a ONE t-shirt to wear. You can purchase a ONE white band bracelet as well. Go to The ONE Campaign for ONE merchandise and support their amazing cause. Or go to American Idol's website and donate directly to the charities they have put in place.

You don't have to give a lot, every little bit helps and matters more than you possibly imagine. I know it is difficult. I am a single Mom to a little boy who is sick often due to an IgA Immune Deficiency. I do work full-time, but I have to be careful with my money and make sure I don't over budget myself. If I can spare a small amount to help, than you can, too. And if you are unable, please at least spread the word. One person can make a huge difference.

I urge you. Do what you can, reach out your hand, save a life.
