I don't know if this really belongs in the Religion sub-forum but it seems as good a place as any.
By now I'm sure most of you have heard of Rebecca Vitsmun. If not, she's the lady who had her house destroyed by the tornado in Moore OK and was being interviewed live on CNN by Wolf Blitzer. He repeatedly asked her if she thanked the Lord for a decision that saved her life.
Well there's a fund that's been started on Indiegogo to raise money to help her and her family get their lives back together. Besides being funny (the "rewards" for contributing are pretty good) I thought that some here might want to chip in.
As of Friday 24th May we have cleared the initial $50,000 target. In truth, we had no idea how generous and giving our community would prove to be. We reached our goal within 17 hours of starting. An Indiegogo deadline cannot be changed once it has been set. So this campaign will continue until July 22 2013. At that point the financial cogs will turn and the moneys raised will be delivered to Rebecca Vitsmun. There is no reason for us to stop raising funds. The median cost of a home in Moore, OK is $125, 250, and that was back when they had homes. More importantly, the more money we raise the better the example we set.
