Friday, October 6, 2006 by WebGizmos | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
I'm sure many of you have seen in the news or read in the newpaper of the senseless execution style murder of 5 young Amish children in a one room schoolhouse on Monday October 2nd in Nickel MInes, Lancaster County. There are yet several others in critcal condition that may die as well because of this senselessness.
The Amish people are not accustomed to asking for help, but the medical bills from this are going to be astronomical...far more than they will be able to deal with. There are already people and agencies from all over the world donating anything from $1.00 to $500,000.00 from the red cross to help with the medical costs of this tragedy.

I saw it on the news, which never ceases to amaze and shock me beyond a limit I thought could not be topped. It blows my mind to think someone would want to hurt a people that do not even know of the horrors in the world, let alone take part in them. My heart is broken.
