Secretary General says hundreds of millions of dollars need to be found immediately.This has all left the aid workers who predicted it furious.This hour On Point: Somalia: what happens when the world turns away from disaster.

Purpose

I love helping people and its my goal to make a big impact on the world.  After watching a news segment of the tragedy that is taking place in Somalia ; I decided to help the people in Somalia who are starving and have  no place to call  home. From now untill the end of the year , my goal is to raise $1,000. I hope that you will help me reach my goal. I know that the people of Somalia will be greatful and appreciative of your donations.  Lets be the change in the world that we wish to see.

Help change the lives of others in Somalia

This is Bria :)

Hello. On April 4^th,1996 I fell out the sky and was given the wonderful name Bria Nicole Everett. Bria which means strong one. Nicole means victory of the people. Everett means wild boar. My nickname name is Queen, because I know that one day I will be someone great. I am a Georgia girl born in raised in the south. I have been blessed to have two wonderful parents that have adored me from the minute they saw me. A mother who is my whole heart and Chief Master Sergeant Everett (my dad )who means a lot to me. I also have two older siblings a brother and a sister . I have two dogs and one cat. I also have nephew Christian who is means alot to me. I love my family and I wouldn’t trade them for anything in the world. I am one of a kind . I am rare because it is hard to find a intelligent ,confident, leader oriented, dedicated, natural, and intellectual young lady like myself. I will not sugar coat this letter and tell you that life doesn’t throw me curve balls, because it does but I know how to catch them. Every curve ball that life throws me is a learning experience. I reach for the stars and I set very high standards for myself. I attend Hillgrove High School. Helping people is a passion of mines and that passion has lead me to help the people of Somalia.
