A non-profit organization founded by two women who became widowed on 9/11.  It is "an organization that empowers widows in Afghanistan who have been afflicted by war and oppression." They support programs that enable widows to support themselves and their families without begging in the street or standing in a breadline. Founded by Susan Retik and Patti Quigley.

Mesothelioma Online -
42% of cancer patients who pursued alternative treatments engaged in spiritual/energy healing. This significant percentage shows the importance spiritual/energy healing plays in the lives of many patients. Adopting these healing techniques allowed patients to find both motivation and perspective, providing the balance needed to improve their attitude and create a disciplined regimen. These long term survivors recognized early on that finding another road to healing was the first step to successfully fighting this disease.
