I am happy to see that I am not the only compassionate person to posts on the Gazette articles. I was starting to believe that Hannah's views were that of the majority. I actually stopped reading the comments for a bit because I was becoming so angry at the ignorance some people exude while commenting on topics. Like the old adage "it's better to keep your mouth shut and let people think you are stupid, then to open it and remove all doubt". In this case the typographical errors make them look even more foolish.

MikeF - finally a voice of reason in the group. Some people just lack compassion and they like to advertise it here on these boards!

Hannah, you honestly think $750 is enough to care for a disabled child?! Do you realize that it can cost that or more for FT daycare for a healthy child. Children with special needs require extra attention that can financially devastate even families who are well off. The one young lady is recovering from the effects of a brain tumor. Have you any idea the financial burden medical bills can put on a family? Have you ever had to make a trip to the ER? Do you know that a day in ICU or on a neuro unit can cost up to $3,000/ day or more? Most insurance companies max out at $250k per year. One major injury or illness can leave a family with hundreds of thousands of medical bills they are unable to afford. Shame on this young lady for getting a brain tumor that has left her disabled. Shame on her family for not being wealthy enough to pay for everything on their own. Fools that they were having a child that was born disabled and then the nerve of them giving their other healthy child a brain tumor and not being able to care for these children. The funny thing, it is ignorance on your part thinking that you could actually plan for the hurdles these families have been forced to overcome. God help you if you ever have children that need special attention - because according to you that sole responsibilty is yours and you aren't mentally or financially equipped to handle it.

No - :) So these families that were blessed with gifts from God should not be allowed any type of assistance because they are asking for "money in exchange for nothing"? Financially I was and am prepared for the births of my children as they were born healthy and were able to attend a daycare for children who have no disabilties and a public school for children who have no disabilties. That being said, if my children would have been born with a disability, financially I would have been devastated. One can never plan for a child being been born not of sound mind and body. I am grateful that all of my children were born healthy and with no ill effects, but would be greatly appreciative for a community organization willing to help keep life as normal as possible for my family - especially children who deal with so many trials and tribulations on a daily basis. These kids should not be forced to suffer and not have care when needed just because a regular daycare would not provide the nurturing environment necessary for them to flourish.

I am appauled at some of these comments. These women are not looking for hand outs, just some assistance while working FULL TIME jobs to financially provide for their families. Have a little bit of compassion. These may be their children and like some of you said "their responsibilties", but what is wrong with the community helping them in a time of need. I can't believe anyone would honestly believe they don't deserve a little bit of help caring for their children that are disabled. You that feel that way should be forced to spend a day in their shoes or move out of your glass houses.

I found it ironic that the name of the victim was not being released, but they had no problem showing a picture of the crashed vehicle - complete with license plate info??
