So, I’m collecting garbage around to survive,” the 86-year-old man had said during his first interaction with this writer. Mr. Weah’s ‘plight’ shared on the World Wide Web, through FrontPage Africa and other Liberian media institutions, has attracted the attention of “Liberians Supporting Liberians Initiative (LISULI)”, a United States-based Liberian humanitarian organization headed by Mr. Michael Padmore. The Organization has fulfilled its promise of “help” to Mr. Weah. On February 25, Mrs. Beyan-Livingstone purchased the foods, and with help from this writer, located Mr. Weah’s one-room zinc house in West Point (a predominantly slum community) to make presentation on behalf of LISULI. After Mr. Weah’s musical gratitude, and LISULI’s representative suggested a closed-door meeting for presentation of the ‘soup money’, and she invited this writer to be a ‘witness’.
