I've recently become involved with a guy writing a book and trying to get some funding for it. He will publish regardless, but some help will make it easier.
It's a book about fathers of disability... he can explain it better than I. http://blog.dadsofdisability.com (http://blog.dadsofdisability.com)
I've offered some thoughts and may end up with a piece in the book. Whether I do or not I think this is a perspective on the subject that might interest people.

Sounds like a great project, and donation sent. [thumbsup]
As I am finding out (some days more than others [laugh]), raising a healthy child can be a challenge. I can only imagine the additional challenge if the child has a disability.

Look here people. If a broke ass, bankrupt divorcee like me can give $$ then so can you.
Give Give now.
Skip the fancy coffee drink for a few days. There is $20.00 right there.
Skip drinks out one night. Be honest, right there is a good $20 to $30 bucks.
A local restaurant near me has shirts that say :Eat Like You Give A Damn".
I say give like you give a damn. If we don't, who else will?
Give $50. The cause is worth it.
C'mon, peeps.
Collectively, we've done great things on this board for others in need.
Let's do it again.

Gary is waaaay short of his goal.
I don't know if we can actually get him over the top, but it's worth the effort.
I believe it's a worthwhile cause.
Show the world what we can accomplish.
Sooooo...
This project did actually come to fruition.
