Help Teme Larson produce a true story movie

Hello to all,

You might have known about my extraordinary story, and my humble beginning since my toddler years due to a fire accident which made me crippled to use only my hands for movements. I am indebted to my mother in Ethiopia who carried me around from village to village struggling to feed us. But I was subjected to live with open wounds on my leg due to lack of medical attention, and I begged on the street at the very young age just for survival.

God was good and connected me to the Larson family through an adoption agency where my current parents embraced me while I was living with infection, and overall unacceptable human condition. After I became a Larson family member, my parents loved & cared for me, and privileged me to get the needed medical treatments enabling me to undergo through one of Americas most complicated surgeries. I am humbled to have been able to walk with my prostatic legs, and I thank God, and my Larson family for all this gift of life.

The journey of my life has been covered in several media outlets both in the US and Ethiopia, and my story was an inspiration to many people. An episode of the Saturday Afternoon show on the syndicated Ethiopian Broadcasting Service [EBS] depicted my story to millions of people. In case you haven’t, I invite you to watch the 33 min. video which I re-uploaded with English translation subtitles with the help of friends.

I am currently working on a project to produce a movie based on my true story. The movie will be done in Ethiopia with dedicated producers and actors who took this mission as their goal to reach out to the world audience. We are currently projecting the cost of production to be around $65,000. The living standard in Ethiopia is helping us to plan a very small budget movie with a Netflix standard, but this is costly endeavor for me, and I would need your assistance to help me realize this dream.
