This American woman's name is Donna Francis and she is a resident of Dore, an area outside of Hawassa in Ethiopia. Although she has been helping many needy people for the past years by living with the community, but at this time, she is in trouble... she has nothing to eat... she is living her life with the daily support of local residents..
At least share it so that the information reaches the US Embassy... She who helped many Ethiopians yesterday has become a sad person who was left with an empty house without a helper... Let's save her from the problem she is in.

Mindy Kaling's tribute to her late mother, Swati Chokalingam, during her acceptance of the National Medal of the Arts is a touching reminder of the impact that our loved ones can have on our lives. It is heartening to see her dedication and hard work recognized with this prestigious honor, and her commitment to continuing to earn it is a testament to her character. Kaling's success as an actress, writer, and producer has been an inspiration to many, and her ability to capture and uplift the experiences of women and girls across the nation is truly remarkable. Her story of immigration and achieving success in America is a shining example of the American dream. This is a well-deserved recognition, and I'm sure her mother would be proud of her accomplishments.
