A year’s worth of small group counseling for children who may have been affected by our serious crime maybe; a lunch program for students who go to school without lunch maybe; the purchase of school clothes for students who need then; or maybe the purchase of assistive technology to help a child in school with special educztion needs.

I’m jusst saying!!!
