Philadelphia, PA – One Day at a Time (ODAAT) hosts its 41st Annual Candlelight Vigil Anniversary Celebration for Co-Founder Margaret ‘Mom’ Wells and includes a community concert with special guests and performers featuring Philly’s favorite’s Wallo and Gillie, vendors, free food, and a resource fair at the Met Philly. The theme of the 41st Annual Anniversary is, ‘One Love, One Philly’ which ODAAT invites the community to address the urgent issues of gun violence and recovery to celebrate the resilience and diversity that defines us as a people. 
One Day at a Time is a non-profit organization that works consistently to provide services to those suffering from addiction. ODAAT President Mel Wells stated, ‘For decades we’ve had a candlelight vigil to remember those who passed away due to HIV/AIDS and gun violence. In honor of this tradition, we are continuing the legacy of my mother ‘Mom’ Wells who was the guiding light in helping people fight their addictions and pursue the road to recovery. We invite the community to be a part of this free celebration in remembrance of what Philly can be if we keep loving each other and pursuing peace in the streets’.
The annual community concert and resource fair brings together families, loved ones, neighbors, and friends to remember those they’ve lost and celebrate life in a fun-filled and safe environment. 

On-site resource tables will be available including free HIV/STD testing, employment opportunities, and more! Now more than ever, we are proud to stand with Mayor Cherelle Parker under the One Philly, A City United anthem as we celebrate this event themed, ‘One Love, One Philly’.

Originally published in April 1998 as an April Fool’s joke in EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly), Akuma was rumored to be an unlockable character within the PlayStation original, Resident Evil 2. To unlock the famed Street Fighter character, players must play through both scenarios of the game six times, while only using a knife and handgun to achieve an A ranking in all of them. When you start the seventh playthrough, play until you reach the computer console. Instead of typing “GUEST”, players must type in “AKUMA” causing players to transform into the character.

26 years later, the April Fools joke was brought to life. Modders Captain Kashup, Snipz, and Zky created Akuma Mode, a mod for Resident Evil 2 that allows players to use Akuma, the tatsumaki, and fire ball to defeat your enemies. Find 8 special zombies for a secret ending.
