Dani Johnson has
made helping others her life’s work. She is extending her reach to help rescue
2012 orphans this year. Johnson is collaborating with radio talk show host
Kevin McCullough and actor Stephen Baldwin to help thousands of orphans around
the world in an effort dubbed “2012 in 2012.”
XtreMEDIA, the media company of Baldwin and McCullough, is
being joined by two charities focusing on orphaned children. Food for Orphans
is a Colorado feeding ministry founded and led by Gary Van Dyke. Texas-based
King’s Ransom Foundation, co-founded by Johnson, helps people who are hungry,
hurt, and in need. XtreMEDIA is encouraging other media partners to
participate.
Twenty-five cents may not seem like much but according to
Baldwin, it can “literally feed a meal to a child—who literally—will die
without it.” Baldwin has made education of the public his goal. McCullough
noted that XtreMEDIA’s partners are able to feed an orphan for a year at the cost
of just $92. Noting that this is all it takes to save a life, he wants to get
more people involved so more children can be rescued.
Johnson commented that each day, people spend money on “the
most idiotic things.” She wishes that instead, they would contribute just ten
percent of this to feed children on the brink of death. Though Johnson has
already gained commitment from two families to raise enough money to each feed
100 orphans, she noted, “there is much, much more to do.”
Johnson consistently advocates the necessity of putting a
purpose to money spent. She is doing it in a big way by joining the 2012 in
2012 effort. King’s Ransom Foundation will match every donation made through
the website 2012in2012.info. Foundation representative Cindy McFaden said,
“together we can make a difference and help feed the children. Let’s do this!”
