numb

Tonight, during the American Idol Results Show, they continued some of the clips for Idol Gives Back. Forest Whitaker and his wife went to Angola and documented a heartbreaking story: a father who is blind (because he stepped on a landmine), and whose three kids help him beg during the day. Forest and his wife came to the family’s house (basically one room), and asked the little boys where they slept. They pulled out a single dirty foam pad – and all piled onto that. It is making me cry again as I type this. If you would like to contribute to Idol Gives Back, you can do so by clicking here, or calling 1-877-IDOL-AID.
