                       HONORING HYDEIA BROADBENT

  (Mr. HORSFORD asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. HORSFORD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Hydeia Broadbent, a 
Las Vegas native who turned her life's biggest challenge into a 
powerful message of hope.
  Born with HIV, Hydeia wasn't expected to live past her early 
childhood, but she defied those odds, living until 39 before passing 
away last week.
  She dedicated her life to educating others about HIV/AIDS. She 
appeared on national platforms, telling everyone that life with HIV is 
still a life full of potential.
  At age 12, she said: ``I am the future, and I have AIDS. I can do 
anything I put my mind to.'' She did, making every day count and 
inspiring us all to do the same.
  Hydeia's legacy is a testament to the power of resilience, hope, and 
the impact one person can have. As we remember her today, let's carry 
her message of positivity and determination forward. May God bless 
Hydeia Broadbent.
