And check out the video. How sad....
quote:

When most parents have a baby, they spend months dreaming about what their bundle of joy will look like. Will she look like mom? Will he have dad's eyes? But for one local Navy family, the birth of their daughter didn't give them the answers to those questions. Their daughter was born without a face."
" "She has no upper jaw, no cheek bones, no eye sockets, and she's missing the corner of her ear," explains Tom.
Her birth defect is called Treacher Collins Syndrome. Doctors say it's the worst case they've ever seen.

Let me see. If the members are *real* generous, each might donate 50$? We have approx 50 active members, and if 1/5 of them were to be generous, that would be 500$? Hmm not bad.

And where will the members send the money if they were *real* generous?
