The Covenant Tragedy: How to help
The unthinkable happened in Nashville. Just down the street from where I live. Innocent, precious lives were stolen by a deranged killer. We’re all at a loss, sharing in the grief for the families who have to bury loved ones. Many people want to help, but how? I put together a list of ways to donate or give back to help those impacted.
