    The rebuild of Notre Dame will be well funded. In the past month, three historically black churches in Louisiana were destroyed by a racist arsonist. He has been charged with hate crimes, but these churches need your help. Please join me in donatinghttp://bit.ly/2VQ2ing

        2. I am donating $1,000 to help these historical churches rebuild. Who will join me at any level? Sometimes the best way to fundraise is share what you're giving (no matter how small or large). It generates the energy needed to encourage others.https://twitter.com/yashar/status/1118173564312666112 …

        Done. (At a lower but still very heart-felt level) I can’t imagine how horrible it would feel to see my church or temple— the place I go for peace, serenity, answers— burned to the ground. This is a wonderful cause, thanks for sharing.
