I haven't solicited funds on the Dillon family's behalf in 9 years, which I now feel dreadful about. I got caught up in my own life and petty troubles while forgetting about the boy (now a man) whose problems make mine seem like a Sunday walk in the park. Forgive me, Ross.

I would like to encourage everyone to read Ross's story and, if able, to contribute a tax deductible donation to help offset the cost of his ongoing care.

I know many people out there, most people in fact, have huge hearts and want to help others in need. Sometimes we turn a blind eye because we don't know if the charity in question is legit. Here's a chance to give to someone who desperately needs it and who's veracity I can 110% vouch for. Please don't forget about Ross Dillon.
