Patti Bureau of Augusta, ME I can't tell you all how much I appreciate all of your comments. I have looked into everything that everyone has commented about.

Since this article has appeared, we have had an unbelievable response from the whole state of Maine along with other states; Massachusetts, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia. I don't know how the other states have heard about Caleb's plight, but I want to thank everyone for their contributions, well wishes and their prayers!

Please continue to keep him in your thoughts and prayers.

A very heartfelt thank you to everyone!

Let's pray that the pharmacutical companies to please Save Caleb's life and many others. No one should ever have to die because you can't treatments. Let's ban together and raise the money for caleb!!!!!report abuse

Susan Reed of Scarborough, ME Angie, I agree with you, they shouldn't have to divert their energy to fund-raising, but that is their reality right now. Emoting about how awful it is doesn't change the situation. Action and ideas will. That is why I suggested an email campaign to drug companies and a call to the Maine Principals Assn. They family or a friend could draft flyers promoting "give $1 to help Caleb live" and ask each Principal to collect $1 from each student, talk about it during morning announcements, ect. It would raise a ton of $$ quickly. Whining and concern are understandable, but they don't change the situation.report abuse

angie connor of gardiner, ME Susan, that's just it, I don't care who pays for it. If there's 1 percent chance it will help than I believe go for it. I believe with all the pain and heartache that they shouldn't have to worry and have to raise this money. I'm sorry for my huge passion on this story. I write this with huge tears and I feel strongly that he should have the experimental treatment at whatever expense. Use the stimulus money, rainy day fund, take the $3 presidental donation that you pay on your federal taxes. I don't care where it comes from but 1 percent is better than none.report abuse
