I recently stumbled upon a new blog that a mother has created to chronicle her son Zachary’s battle with pain. Zachary is 13 and has autism, pain disorder, mitochondrial disorder, cyclic vomiting syndrom, photopobia, phonophobia, complex regional pain syndrom type II and he’s had rabdomyalosis twice ( meaning it could happen again.) Before Zachary was treated for his pain disorder, mom Jennifer lived with her son in a closet-turned padded cell in an effort to protect him from himself. He would hit himself in the head on the wall repeatedly resulting in large contusions on his head.
You can learn more about Zachary at zacharywinsagain.blogspot.com/ where you can also donate to the MAGIK Pain Clinic at the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles to help free Zachary and other children from pain.

If your New Year’s resolutions included volunteering, congratulations - the world needs more people like you.
If you’re reading this chances are you’re better off than 98% of the rest of world. Sure, you can have a better job, bigger house, and nicer car. But even having a job, house or car puts you way ahead of the pack. And I don’t just mean the less fortunate in Third World countries; right here, in every state of in the Union, there are those who don’t have the food, shelter or help they need to have better lives. Men, women, and children; old and young. They need our help.
That’s the bad news. The good news? You want to do something about that. Don’t worry, you don’t have to endow a foundation or give millions to help. There are plenty of things you can do right now that won’t require donating money. And, if you’re clever about it, and we know you are, volunteering is something that will give back to you as well.
