Truly sad. I didn't see it (I just read the article) but my sister did and was telling us about it. This is something the Bill & Melinda Gates foundation should be in on if they're not already. Having children myself, it just breaks my heart to see kids going through these kinds of things. We sponser a child from my sons school for Christmas and give coats etc. Thats what I can do close to home.

It seems so many of the celebrities are so worried about poverty in foreign countries that they forget to donate to and support people in our own back yard. It really irks me when after something like 9/11 or Katrina that celebs will hold a telethon to get people like you and me who work hard for every dollar to donate. I'm sure some of them do to, but it seems like a waste of resources when if they all would just donate part of their mulit-million dollar paychecks they would solve a bigger chunk of the problem more quickly. And we would still donate even if they didn't do a telethon. So their donation keeps them from buying that fifth mansion in Monte Carlo, they'll never notice.
