Help for the Hardest Parenting Nightmare Imaginable

We're usually pretty big on the bad news around here, what with the news wires crammed with one tragedy or another on a daily basis. But this one, while tragic, thankfully has a silver lining -- and there's something you can do to make it even better.

Whit from Famecrawler wrote up an elegant tribute to Joseph Salmon, a 3-year-old who died of a form of pneumonia. (Gloomy start, I know. It gets better. Trust me.) It turns out his parents and friends are now organizing a charity hike and have formed a charitable organization to help other families pay for funeral expenses after the loss of a child.

As the charitable trust says, the loss of a child is hard enough -- "to have to worry about financial matters is an added burden."

Please check it out. As Whit says, times are tough. But this one is worthwhile.
