After reading Denise Oliver Velez’s diary last night about the arson attack in Fort Pierce, I e-mailed the Islamic Center to find out if anything had been set up for donations to rebuild. This morning, I received an e-mail reply listing the LaunchGood donation page for their rebuilding project. Please visit their page, even if you can only afford a modest donation. Each donation, no matter how small is another voice for tolerance heard from, another act of kindness and support in the face of hate.
I’m at work, so will not be responding to comments, just felt that I had to get this up quickly to help out the folks in Fort Pierce. (And many thanks to Denise for alerting us, for not letting this become “just one more local news story.”)
