CARING
I am heartened by all the work the far-flung-and-growing-each-day Moebius Syndrome network is doing these days.  Take the story of Elijah, the little boy with Moebius Syndrome growing up in Florida, who it turned out was living in filth, and being neglected, by his parents, being stuck in a hotel room surrounded by filth.

But once this was learned, many people on Facebook sprung into action.  There's been an outpouring of care, concern, and attempts to do something--to seek ways to care for the boy, and even send nice care packages to him.  I'm sure it will be good for him and for others connected to the situation in Florida to know that there are those who care about this.  This is the way that networking on Facebook and other social networking sites can really help.

Let's keep up the good work.
