When the staff of Revolution 21 found her in a shanty town under the Interstate 480 bridge in Omaha, little Stefania was covered with lice, suffering from rickets and listening to awful Top-40 music on Channel 94-1.Yet she still managed to smile for a visitor to her encampment, a crooked smile that displayed her dirty brown teeth. She looked much older than her 14 years -- sort of like a munchkin charwoman in an asphalt jungle.
One could hardly believe that only a few blocks away were burgeoning and popular condominium developments in the growing downtown of this bustling Midwestern city. Such deprivation amid this expanse of plenty!
Stefania could represent all of the deprived youth shoved aside, denied access to the banquet table of this capitalist society. She could represent all of those who could be just like you and me . . . if only.
BUT THROUGH YOUR DONATIONS, we at Revolution 21 will buy a corporate jet to fly our executives from one charity even to another across the fruited plain . . . and we'll be able to buy more commercial airtime to keep those donations rolling in. Unfortunately, we won't be able to provide little Stefania a nutritious diet and sufficient Vitamin D to get rid of her rickets.
The Learjet payment is due next week, and you know how that goes!
We will, however, will be able to provide Stefania access to the Revolution 21 podcast, enabling her to leave the cultural deprivation of commercial contemporary-hits radio behind forever and instead bask in the richness of the best in contemporary musical genius. All thanks to your generous donations.
Stefania would give you a standing ovation for your generosity . . . if she could stand any longer.
FOR YOUR GENEROSITY, allow us to offer you free access to our award-winning Revolution 21 podcast here. May the wonderful music it provides warm your heart and enliven your senses!
