Crowdfunding Can Perform Miracles

Just three weeks I read a heart-wrenching story on Reddit.com about an attack on a defenseless orphanage in Kenya by some thugs. I’m not sure of the details but somehow the story ended up on Reddit with a graphic image of a man named Omri who had suffered a machete wound to the head while trying to protect the kids. The wound put him in the hospital for two days and required major stitching. Omri and his Reddit associate then asked Redditors, who have raised money before for various good causes, to donate $2000 for a wall to protect the orphanage.
