(CNN) -- CNN's story about Noor al-Zahra Haider touched readers and viewers, many of whom wrote to say they felt some responsibility for the Iraqi girl whose life was saved by Americans at the height of the Iraq War. Others simply wanted to know how they could help. Childspring International, the Atlanta-based Christian charity that sponsored her stay in the United States in 2006, said it was setting up a special Baby Noor Fund so it could channel donations specifically to Noor's family. Noor was born with a severe form of spina bifida. Alison Fussell, the executive director of Childspring, said Thursday the charity set up the fund after being contacted by people who saw the CNN story. She said she was not yet sure exactly how the donations would be used and that the charity was still determining what the right action would be.Childspring International has set up a special account for NoorAs an infant, she was brought to America for life-saving surgeryThe family is struggling to take care of a disabled child in war-torn BaghdadSome readers said America has a responsibility to Noor and her family
"When her family asked for help, they probably thought that more could be done for her in _ than was possible, and they somehow imagined that she would be returned to them in good health," Shinn said.
