 01 May 19 People Helped, We’re Not There Yet
Great people stepped up to fund the work RSN does. We actually received more donations in April. Unfortunately, we also received less money, once again.
Let’s take a break from fundraising for a few days. That will allow us to focus on mitigating the madness swirling about out there.
We are very grateful.
