Help The Shaw Twins

Everyone of my readers knows Mateo and McHale Shaw:





These are, you'll remember, the babies born conjoined twins. At birth, they were given only a 5% chance of survival, but they took that 5% and whipped it; they're going on three now and going strong.

This is a family that cannot be held down; as the boys begin to explore the world, their parents, Ryan and Angie, are not only raising them but also helping their own community through "Kids Coming Together," a group that hopes to make a playground that's accessible for all kids.


You can find out more information about this family at their page at Caring Bridge; click that link, and then type mateoandmchale into the box where it asks if you want to visit a Caring Bridge website. You'll want to keep up with them like I do, and you'll want to help them. They need the help; recently, one of the boys almost died and both still need lots of medical attention, but their insurance hit its lifetime limit

Go to Caring Bridge to find out more, or send contributions to help pay for their medical bills to:
