I think they could have found a better way to get their point across without using a child to appeal to peoples sense of giving. This was done in extremely bad taste in my opinion.

Pretty pathetic piece of work - I'm wondering if it was even read/approved by the CDA board?

That letter is disturbing and crosses over inappropriate lines.
Mom almost dying in her sleep (regularly) Dad having to save her life with an emergency needle (regularly) Child has no idea if he'll see his mom the next morning because she almost dies all the time Can't afford supplies Dying from complications Wow, such a disgrace! I think I will write a letter letting them know how absurd the whole thing is. I almost wonder if people are permitted to write their own letters and the CDA gives them the link to post to donate.
