Hello everyone. My name is Gary Coleman. And a lot of you remember me as that little black kid on Different Strokes. But there's another, darker side of me that a lot of you don't know about. And that's the fact that I was born without a torso. That's right! And millions of children are born without torsos every year, and the number is growing.
Imagine the horror of being taunted in the schoolyard: "Hey where d'ya keep your nipples? In your pockets?"
Imagine the horror of being carried home from rugby practise in a netbag.
Imagine the horror of being taunted at swimming lessons: 'Hey Starfish Baby! Starfish Baby!'
Yes, the pain is real. The horror is real. But the hope is also real. Please give generously to:

Hello, my name's Kate Capshaw. And a lot of you remember me as that little black kid on Different Strokes. But there's another, darker side of me that a lot of you don't know about. And that's the fact that- (laughing)- Greg's making me laugh!
Do you know, is Kate Capshaw known in other countries?
(all laugh)
Alright, let's do another one- let's go.
I should leave the room.
P.S.A- no don't- P.S.A.

Hello, my name's Clint Eastwood. And a lot of you remember me as that little black kid on Different Strokes. But there's another, darker side of me that a lot of you don't know about. And that's the fact that I have two huge columns of cheese for legs. That's right- and millions of children are born with cheddar legs every year, and the number is growing.
Imagine (hopelessly cracking up) the horror of sliding into second base and making a lovely taco melt.
Imagine the horror of being taunted in the schoolyard: "Hey, we oughta cube ya and make little things with flags stick into ya."
Imagine the horror of being held down in the schoolyard and grated.
Yes, the pain is real. The horror is real, but the hope is also real. Please give generously to:
