I don't normally do this and it might be a repost, but I was hoping that fellow ATOT'rs could show a little compassion for a kid in need. I am reprinting his letter here, in hopes that you all will help out this kid and his mom. I personally know the boy and have helped them out by building them a new pc and getting them set up with free internet service so they can reach as many people as they can with their plight. This kid was featured on the local Miami news last week, and we hope to get him on a national talk show before long so everyone can hear his story. Anyway, I will just cut and paste the letter he wrote so you all can see it. I am currently setting up a paypal account for him and will give you details on how to contribute later.

Anyway, here goes:
I am a very sick little boy.

My mother is typing this for me, because I can't. She is crying. The reason she is so sad is because I'm so sick. I was born without a body. It doesn't hurt, except when I try to breathe. The doctors gave me an artificial body. It is a burlap bag filled with leaves. The doctors said that was the best they could do on account of us having no money or insurance. I would like to have a body transplant, but we need more money.

Mommy doesn't work because she said nobody hires crying people. I said, "Don't cry, Mommy," and she hugged my burlap bag. Mommy always gives me hugs, even though she's allergic to burlap and it makes her sneeze and chafes her real bad.

I hope you will help me. You can help me if you forward this email to everyone you know. Forward it to people you don't know, too. Dr Johansen said that for every person you forward this email to, Bill Gates will team up with AOL and send a nickel to NASA. With that funding, NASA will collect prayers from school children all over America and have the astronauts take them up into space so that the angels can hear them better. Then they will come back to earth and go to the Pope, and he will take up a collection in church and send all the money to the doctors. The doctors could help me get better then.

Maybe one day I will be able to play baseball. Right now I can only be third base.

Every time you forward this letter, the astronauts can take another prayer to the angels and my dream will be closer to coming true. Please help me. Mommy is so sad, and I want a body. I don't want my leaves to rot before I turn 10.

If you don't forward this email, that's okay. Mommy says you're a mean and heartless bastard who doesn't care about a poor little boy with only a head. She says that if you don't stew in the raw pit of your own guilt-ridden stomach, she hopes you die a long slow, horrible death and then burn forever in hell. What kind of cruel person are you that you can't take five freakin' minutes to forward this to all your friends so that they can feel guilt and shame about ignoring a poor, bodiless nine-year-old boy?

Please help me. I try to be happy, but it's hard. I wish I had a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty. I wish I could hold a kitty that wouldn't chew on me and try to bury its sh1t in the leaves of my burlap body. I wish that very much.

Thank You

Billy "Smiles" Evans (the boy with just a head, and a burlap sack for a body)

Hope you all can help.

So, so sad! :(

Maybe we can take up a collection to send Billy a Bonsai Kitten -- it lives in its glass jar so it wouldn't be able to chew on him.
