Little SUsie's Sad Story:
Once upon a time not too long ago there lived a little girl named Susie. She was like the child any parrent would dream of, smart, sweet, and adorable. She did everything for her family but nobody loved her. Her mother was a drug dealer and her father was in a mental instituation. her older sister Anna was the only one who took care of her. Anna was the mother Susie never had and loved Susie like a daughter rather than a sister. But one day Anna was walking to the market and was hit by a truck and dies soon after in the nearby hospital. Susie cried and didn't know who would take care of her now. She starved for days and never once got to leave the cold dark house. Finally her mother died of an overdose of drugs and Susie was sent to the mountains to live with her grandfather. her grandfather raped and abused her for two whole years. One day he got drunk and left the house leaving Susie to fend for herself. She went upstairs to listen to her musicbox. Someone broke into the house to steel all of their money and vicously attacked poor Susie. When the police came to investigate, all the money was gone and Susie lie on the bottam step of the staircase, eyes roled back and blood drenching her hair, dead. After only a quick look, the men pushed Susie's body aside and continued the investigation. Her body was burned to ashes and those ashes were given to her grandfather. but only a week later he lost interest in them and dumped them into the river. They say to this day if you call Susie's name, and listen hard enough, you can still hear her sad and innocent cries calling out for a help that never came.
Saben... detras de este hombre tan maravilloso que fué el mas grande de todos lo tiempos, Mike dedicó gran parte de sus esfuerzos y mas aún recursos económicos a la ayuda humanitaria, siendo el artista que más dinero donó a caridad.
Entre uno de uno de sus iniciales aportes podemos mencionar el megaproyecto USA for Africa, que inició junto a Lionel Richie mas conocido por la cancion WE ARE THE WORLD la cual recaudó millones de dólares para este continente.
Por otra parte en el grave accidente de 1984 en el cual se rodaba el anuncio publicitario para Pepsi, Mike sufrió quemaduras de tercer grado en el cuero cabelludo y otras partes de su cuerpo. Como compensación, la compañía le pagó un millón de dólares que el artista donó a un hospital para quemados, llamado desde entonces "Centro de Quemados Michael Jackson". También donó 500.000 dólares para el "United Negro College Fund" y fundó la organización benéfica "Heal the World", dedicada a ayudar a niños de todo el mundo.
Tambien podmos destacar que su rancho Neverland fue abierto en múltiples ocasiones para que niños con enfermedades terminales y de orfanatos pudieran acudir gratuitamente. También en sus conciertos solía regalar boletos para niños desfavorecidos.
Por otra parte podemos decir que en varias de sus canciones ha resaltado muchos de sus ideales en pro de un mundo mejor, como Earth Song, We Are the World, Heal the World, The Lost Children, Man in the Mirror o Black or White.
Es por eso que este maravilloso personaje es digno de toda mi admiracion, ya que simpre se preocupo por las personas que mas lo necesitaban, para darles una mano amiga, para ser el apoyo de todas las personas, pero en especial de los niños.
