Yesterday, I met some of the greatest people in the world – no egos, no politics, no noise pollution, just solutions & the will to get things done. I want to thank all of our amazing friends in the #Bahamas for their hospitality. I especially want to also thank The Paradise Fund and Operation Airdrop, as well as our veterans & volunteers for their relentless efforts. I asked to help them out in any way that I could, telling them to put me to work – and THEY DID PUT ME TO WORK! It was AWESOME! Keep visiting BretMichaels.com and check out all of our socials for the continued story as we venture to Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic MERRY CHRISTMAS!

Santa Bret, along with The Paradise Fund and Operation Airdrop, delivered toys, supplies, meals, and the most precious gift of all – 9-year-old Emma – back to the Bahamas in Coopers Town in Abaco to be reunited with her family.
I wanted to share my “Unbroken” story with you but first wanted to tell you that YOU are truly my Unbroken and my true inspiration in life! The monumental acts of kindness and your beautiful soul have inspired and helped so many and I am so very grateful to you beyond words!
Over the last four years I have been diagnosed with Reactive Hypoglycemia, Pre-diabetes, Functional Neurological Disorder which affected my ability to walk as well and Fibromyalgia which causes extreme daily pain and fatigue.
However, I don’t let these things break me and when I feel down, your music and your concerts and meeting you numerous times is enough to keep me going strong and tough. Your music makes me feel invincible, free and just does the heart good!
It’s been amazing that I have been able to learn to walk again and I shared my story with you in Tunica last year and was so grateful to be back on my feet!
After all you have been through in your life I know that I can beat all odds as well!
So thankful to be able to attend as many of your concerts as possible through the years and will be seeing you soon as well!
I’m staying “Unbroken” all thanks to you!
Love you always and forever!
Shelley

My name is Amber, I’m 25 years old and I wanted to share my story about the day I met Bret. On September 9, 2018, I had the privilege of meeting my hero,Bret Michaels, at the Indian Ranch. Bret has been a huge inspiration for me for well over a decade. Shortly after being diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at the age of 13, I discovered Bret. His music has gotten me through some of my darkest times, my loneliest hours, and the times I generally felt lost in life. I feel such a deep connection with him because I believe he is a man who has the same kind of heart as I do… he has a beautiful soul, empathy to help others, the drive to never give up, endless compassion, love, and shares the same amount of insane passion for music as I do. When I got the chance to meet Bret, we talked about our struggles with diabetes. He reminded me how important it is to have a positive outlook and mindset. You are such a beautiful man, inside and out, and you will always carry a piece of my heart. I will forever remember this moment we shared between us when I first met you! – Amber Miller

“Bret is truly a class act! Generous, Accepting and KIND. Letting the kids join him onstage for the entire set and taking the time to meet and talk with each one of them was above and beyond anyone’s expectations. Bret is truly compassionate about helping others. I so appreciate how involved he was with our participants and families. They were grinning from ear to ear and still are. Truly magical and the whole room felt it! He embodies GiGi’s mission to change outdated perceptions of Down syndrome, break down barriers to participation and foster inclusion for all. GiGi’s Phoenix is so grateful to Bret for his huge heart and loving spirit and amazing energy. In just 15 minutes Bret created memories that changed the attending children’s lives and created memories that will last forever for everyone who attended.”

In summer 2018 Bret Michaels met an amazing little girl from Idaho named Addy Berria along with her Mother, Ashley and family backstage during a meet & greet. During their conversation Bret was inspired by Addy’s spirit and personality, so much that he offered to cover the associated costs sending Addy and her family to Disneyland.
Through his Life Rocks Foundation, Bret’s commitment by giving back to communities in which he performs runs deep. Meeting genuine people like Addy and her family are truly at the core of what Life Rocks is all about.
After weeks of planning between Michaels’ team and Ashley, including a “Don’t Do What Bretty Rocks Does” charity video seen here: https://www.instagram.com/p/BoPoQCKBbhw/, arranging flights for the 5 family members, hotel, car service etc. the family was set to head west from Idaho to California in search of Mickey Mouse and an awesome time.
Below are photos sent from Ashley from their trip. From airport to airplane, from hotel to Disneyland and back on behalf of Bret and all at MEGI/Life Rocks Foundation, we are glad you had a great time Addy!
