As you may know, this past weekend a local family and fellow board member,
Craigb,
suffered an armed robbery at the hand of a gang banger which resulted in financial loss to him and his family.
No citizen should have to endure this type of flagrant disregard for the law, another's property and safety.
For this reason, many of you board members have approached me asking for a collection thread be setup. First, we needed someone to handle the funds. Bubba suggested Tee since he has done this for us in the past and has proven trustworthy with the accounting and such.
Also, I needed to get permission from the recipient,
Craigb. It appears that he is willing to accept help from the board.
There is nothing that we can do to restore his sense of safety for what he's been through. But there is something we can do to help restore his faith in humanity and his community.
Lets all thank God that we weren't put into this situation and help him to
alleviate his immediate financial needs for rent and medicine.
