Prayers for Orlando - How Can You Help?

[JJZMgailey]

Hi everyone,

While the city of Orlando is picking up the pieces of the horrifying act of terrorism that happened at Pulse, I wanted to let all of you know how you can help the families of those who were affected.

There is a Go Fund Me page that has been set up to support the victims of the Pulse shooting. Every dollar helps and no amount is too small. There is no charge to donate, so please consider helping these families.

Also, if you happen to live in Florida, many blood banks are now setting up appointments for donations as the walk-in traffic at OneBlood has been overwhelming and they'll need their supplies replenished. Please consider donating blood.

Let's all do what we can and make a difference for these grieving families!

Just looked at the GoFundMe. It's over 1.5 million right now! Helps restore my faith!

I hope Go Fund Me has the decency not to charge the 8 or 9 percent they usually do.

They announced this morning they are not taking out any fees.

Who is overseeing it though. In the past other such funds have never reached the intended recipients. They were not Go Fund Me just general victim fundraisers.

All of that info is listed and explained on the Go Fund Me page.
