Less than 48 hours left!

John, Each month, we set a fundraising goal, and it’s really important that we hit it. For April, we set a goal to raise $18,000 before midnight on the 30th. But right now we’re only 67% of the way to reaching our goal. Reaching our goal of $18,000 would make sure we have the necessary resou…
