Meet Cashel Gardner, who can't move, breathe, eat or even talk on his own. He's 15, and has Spinal Muscular Atrophy (SMA). Facebook is his window to the world. 
With one finger, he wrote to Everyone Matters: "I was not supposed to live to be 2 years old. I know I can make a difference in the world and I am doing it all from my bed with the use of one finger. Everyone Matters!"

Watch the powerful video. Our eyes welled up with tears, as Cashel and his family are living examples of strength, perseverance, love, support, the preciousness of life - each life.
