Roberts Family Fundraiser

A member of our community recently passed away due to complications during childbirth, leaving behind her husband, a newborn baby girl, and a 4-year-old little girl. The community rallied behind her husband and organized a community fundraiser yard sale/bake sale. I spent the entire day saturday at the local charter school, painting faces to help bring in donations. At the end of the day (and they're still not done raising money), we'd raised over 15,000! Insane! It goes to show what a community will accomplish when one or two brave people say, "I will make this happen". The husband was about to lose their house, and I think now he and the kids can stick around.
