It's good that these children are getting some help. Are they still having a fundraiser? Thanks for sharing and God bless.

No, I took their fundraiser down. I had it up as one of the larger home purchasing fundraisers. Once it was clear that they couldn't get the home, I took the fundraiser down (that way people can focus on the regular MAC fundraisers).
