Supporting Jacob's Cure

Those of you who watch The View know that this aired last month - but it's news to me because I just found out about it :) The show featured a segment about Jacob, a boy who suffers from a very rare brain disorder called Canavan Disease. Jacob's mom, Jordana, went on the show to talk to Rosie (she was still there at the time) and Elizabeth about Jacob's Cure, the non-profit she started in 2000 to raise funds for research on the disease.
It happens that PayPal also heard about Jacob's story, and decided to donate $50,000 to the cause, which was given to Jordana on the show. It's a very touching segment, so check it out below.
