The first presentation of this unthinkable condition in America, or anywhere, left me in tears. I e-mailed several Senators and never received a response in answer of help. I give to help the people in need, especially children. When I saw tonight, on 60 minuets, the wonderful healing responses of help, that actually DO something, I was so thrilled. My hat is off to you for persistence, and in thankfulness too, of everyone's help.

Thank you.

If you want to help the kids in central Florida, investigate a new 911 website www.resourcepoint.org designed to connect people with stated needs with those who want to help.

I was also moved to tears about the stories of these children. I would love to help these families and think it is so sad that our government spends so much money in other countries when our own children are in need. Also found it interesting that a story of Angelina Jolie appeared on the same program when she spends so much time and money helping children in other countries and again when there are so many children in need here in the United States. Come on America we can help.

Is there any way we can send Arielle and her family money? It is disgusting to think the USA sends so much money to other countries who
hate America (like Pakistan) and our own children are suffering.
Can CBS help set up a fund to help these children? Your stories are
great....please go one step further and help set up a fund so we can all donate.

we must find a way to help this girl. This is what America is all about. She doesn't sit on the pitty of life, doesn't expect a handout. So let's give this fireplug a helping hand. Give me an address and a check is on the way. A trillion dollar stimulus and she lives in a truck and ask for nothing. She makes me ashamed I ever complained about anything. This American is worth helping and saving.

Hello CBS & Scott,
Amazing story. I saw this last time as well.
So sad, just recently, your fellow American just spent $50 BILLION plus for trivial things, but no one help this beautiful people. Please let me know where I could send of my Christmas present to them?
Best, and yes, Lord Have Mercy. Arielle, you and your brother will be better off soon, just hang in there. You are the best kids I have seen yet. You father is a very very brave man. Love you all!
