6 Families Whose Lives Were Changed Thanks to Facebook

Seventeen-year-old Karrie Brown had long been a fan of clothing retailer Wet Seal and dreamt of modeling for them one day. When her mom, Sue, posted photos on the teen wearing Wet Seal on her Facebook page, she garnered attention from the brand just one day later. They told her that if Karrie could get 10,000 likes on her page that week, they'd fly her to California for a professional photo shoot, a new wardrobe, and a trip to Disneyland.

Since then, Karrie has met with a modeling agency and become an example of strength for those with Down syndrome and other challenges.
