It was so great to wake up this morning and read this story below:

http://www.cnn.com/...

"The Children's Burn Foundation -- a non-profit organization based out of Sherman Oaks, California, that provides support for burn victims locally, nationally and internationally -- has agreed to pay for the transportation for Youssif and his family to come to the United States and to set up a fund so you can donate."

I'm reposting this diary started earlier today by Cheez Whiz:

Regarding this story of a boy badly burned last Jan in Iraq, surprisingly this is one of the top stories at CNN.com and according the article's author, Arwa Damon:  

"This story has generated an amazing amount of support for Youssif and his family. CNN is in touch with aid organizations that may be able to help. We know how concerned you are and how much you want to help. So we'll pass on information as soon as we have it.

Thank you for your outpouring of support."
