César and Elsa desperately need help. As you mentioned, someone generously donated funds for Elsa to start a small home-business. Before that, she faced the agonizing decision of whether to go beg for food, or stay home to care for César and risk starving. Days ago, a Guatemalan businessman donated a prosthetic leg for César, But he’s not out of the woods yet. Not only will he need physical therapy — but his only hope at a future is to get him back into school.

César’s a smart kid who studied hard and dreamed of college. Those dreams were crushed by the accident. Now Elsa worries about him. The ready smile he’s worn his whole life is gone. He stays home, isolated from friends and family. For years, he’s seen Elsa struggle due to her handicap — how society shunned her, forcing her to beg in the streets. César’s sure he’ll share that fate — that nobody will care enough about “a poor Guatemalan kid” to help. Let’s show him he’s wrong. Let’s show him that we do care about him, that he is not invisible to us.

Unfortunately, the story will only be on children.org until tomorrow afternoon. This is my last-ditch effort o keep César from falling through the cracks. To get people to donate whatever they can afford. If you want to help, either click on the link Warren provided and read the full story, or call 1-800-888-3089 and donate to César’s fund. Whether you give a little or a lot doesn’t matter, what matters is that you gave something. That you cared enough to help rescue a young man’s future.

Thanks for letting me share this story, Warren!
