Crohn's Disease Support Network
About them: This network's goal is to help people living with Crohn's Disease, along with the families and friends of Crohn's patients. Family members and friends need support also because it is never easy to see someone you care about suffer.
There is a large majority of people who know someone with Crohn's or have heard of it, although they have no idea what it is or how serious it can be. Hopefully through the CDSN these people can connect with each other to offer support, awareness, and education. Together we can make a difference!

About them: We are a small but growing group of healers who firmly believe that making a positive difference in our world begins with compassion, love and giving of ourselves to help better the lives of others. With this tenet in mind, we have come together to offer information, insight, and sometimes simply a shoulder or a prayer, to any and all who may need it. Included in our group are professionals in a myriad of healing modalities such as herbalism, homeopathy, nutrition, reflexology, color & crystal therapy, aromatherapy and many more.
We offer natural health education scholarships and donate every penny earned on our site to established charities and initiatives devoted to making a positive difference in our world.
Each of us has a responsibility to do something to better the lives of our brothers and sisters on this planet. The coolest thing about giving of yourself in service to others is the fact that your actions become a ripple moving throughout our world, joining with the ripples of others and becoming a tide. That tide always returns to bring you the benefit and blessing you so freely gave. As one of the great humanitarians of our time, Michael Jackson, said, "I wanted to change the world, so I got up one morning and looked in the mirror. That one looking back said: "There is not much time left. The earth is wracked with pain. Children are starving. Nations remain divided by mistrust and hatred. Everywhere the air and water have been fouled almost beyond help. Do something!"

About them: Amy was born and raised in Michigan, and holds a BSBA from Central Michigan University. In 1985 Amy became involved with the Dwarf Athletic Association of America (DAAA) and has continued her commitment to the organization for all 24 years of its existence. Amy is an active member of the DAAA and currently sits on its Board, where she focuses her efforts on creating positive change for dwarf athletes. The opportunity that the DAAA provides to its members—to develop as people through athletic experience— helped Amy grow the “I can” attitude and confidence she is renowned for.
“My goal is to encourage people with the “why not” instead of the “I can’t,” especially those that have a disability and are facing their own challenges.” –Amy Roloff

About them: This blog is about people getting to be who they want to be, being accountable for their own actions, and finding a habitable place in the world. It is not about victims, or about blame. I am ‘neurotypical’ (although, out of context, people would laugh at me for saying that). After getting to know people with autism and their families for 10 years, and learning a variety of autism methodologies in several states, I’ve seen a lot of brilliant work, and a lot of crap. Thankfully, none of the crap has tainted my belief that people on the spectrum have a lot to contribute. The rest of us do too. This little blog is part of my personal contribution. For me, EmpowerAutism is an everyday practice, and I want to share it.
About them: Real blogs from people tackling the puzzle of Autism. There are lots of great blogs and articles on this site from people that are dealing with Autism daily. Very good resource info.

Coming together, we can make a difference.
When people come together with one common purpose in mind, they can make anything happen. It is with this stubborn philosophy that we as a people have overcome some of the hardest obstacles that have been put in our path.
The time is now, for us to take stock in our lives, and determine if we are doing what is within our power and control, to help those out around us that are having it much tougher.
Each day, our goal should be to have helped one person. No matter how minute the effort, or how grand. We should strive to help one person in some way, to better their lives. And many times its as simple as showing that you care, and might have an insight into what they are going thru and can share in their tribulations and pain.
