Have to agree with Robert here about universal healthcare. Given Katie's condition I doubt it would completely solve every problem you have, Rex, but it would certainly help. I think organizing raffles and such that this site is doing are great, but these are efforts that are brought about usually only in extraordinary circumstances. There are probably many other families who are going through similar things but don't have connections to well-read sites to get their stories heard. I'll donate to your cause but I'd really like to see the healthcare system in America be setup to more intrinsically help those in need, and not require people to make a lot of noise to get attention.
