I am a board member for The Healing House. We are a nonprofit which relies solely on charitable donations which fund our staff of counselors. We provide grief counseling to children who have lost a parent or sibling.

We are unable to hold our annual fundraisers to fund operations and continue to pay our staff. Our application was not processed in time by our bank and we were told that the funds are no longer available. We had our monthly conference call this morning.

Where I tried to instill confidence that a second round would be coming but as I watch the developments in DC it is hard to reconcile that our counselors who work tirelessly to help children grappling with personal loss are at the merci of a political battle

This congressional battle cannot be allowed to be faceless. We are Americans and we are supposed to be helping one another in times of crisis as our counselors and staff do on a daily basis! The funding must pass quickly!!!

I don’t know one person who has applied that has even been contacted after they have applied.

You really don’t want to hear from me, because I’ll tell you both to go fuck yourselves for being complicit traitors #TrumpOwnsThisCrisis #GOPBetrayedAmerica
