There have been a number of GoFundMe’s created for our local families recently. I thought it would be good to give them some awareness. If your heart feels compelled to give anything to these causes, thank you. There are so many in our community needing funds to help give their loved ones a proper burial. I appreciate that we live in a place that has so many citizens willing to help those in need.<\/p>\n
