I have been following the coverage of the Amish school shooting this past week and want in some way to show some support for their community in their time of grief. To let them know that we are thinking of them and praying for them. If there was a fund or orginazation that was taking up donations to help them rebuild their school house I would like to donate to that cause or any other type of charity that would help them during their time of grief. I know that they are planning to rebuild the school house and possibly tear down the old one and I feel like it is my duty as a human being and a mother to help anyway that I possibly could. When a tragedy like this occurs it is a horrible day for the human race and these families and this community have even out stretched their hand and forgiveness to the family of the shooter which I think is very noble, something that I myslef couldn't do. I would just like to help this peaceful community find peace again.

Hi there, my radio station talked to an author who does a lot of fiction books on the amish (her husband used to be amish I believe). Anyway you can go to her website and donate there as they have set up a memorial fund because they don't have medical insurance to help pay for funeral costs. I can't remember the website, but my radio station's website is http://www.thefishatlanta.com
They had a direct link yesterday, not sure about today though, you could probably email the morning DJs and i'm sure they'll email you the direct link if you let them know what you want to do. =)
God Bless!
