Want to do a good deed?

Please consider helping out a little girl from Australia who desperately needs to come to the US for medical testing. Her name is Charlotte Reid, and she has Trichothiodystrophy. You can join or visit the Facebook group 'Charlotte Reid's Medical Web Appeal'--https://www.facebook.com/groups/240917565943397/ for more information on how you can help. For more about Trichothiodystrophy, check out the Genetics Home Reference page on the condition. It is extremely rare, with something like 100 known cases worldwide. Some of the leading experts on the disease are here in the United States, but Charlotte lives in Australia. For those of you not on Facebook, there is a charity organisation in Australia that deals with TTD, as it is also known, called Friends of Sammy-Joe. Donations tagged with Charlotte's name will go directly for her trip. Thank you.
