Miss Desa's blog: "The Disease No One Is Talking About"

Hello Fellow Directors, Officers, Volunteers for Debbullan. I received the below compliment today and immediately thought of each of you. This compliment belongs to all of us that have worked hard to raise attention to Hepatitis C over the past 7 years. Without your help, guidance and selfless efforts I would only be this tiny voice with little impact. Through Debbullan Inc. we have made great impact for the HCV community. When we started there were a handful of organizations in the US with little impact. Little information on the web (much of it incorrect), barely if no, world supported effort  trying to work to speak as one. After 2007, and our 4th awareness event, Everything is Possible 2007, where we placed awareness of HCV in front of over 20,000 people in 13 countries, the cause of awareness took off. I saw a shift beginning back then. Today there is a monument of information about HCV on the web, (and now in the media as well), many organizations vying for attention to the cause, plus hands reaching across continents, speaking together with the call for a difference. Most importantly, and very truly, the next step needed is that the US is on the precipice of finally allowing funding for 501(c)(3) Organizations (in a responsible way) to grow the call for awareness and added prevention, plus early testing that is not driven by Pharmaceutical monies. All this was in a very great way is made possible because of you.

Thank you very much for continuing to help Debbullan Inc. raise the bar when it comes to awareness and representation of the people who suffer from Hep C.

I wanted to tell You, that You are my hero. I Love You and really think the world of what you do and the effort You put in for all of us in the HCV community,Big hugs!
Melinda

Sincerely,
