Pittman Family-Homeschoolers Helping Homeschoolers

On the morning of 02/23/12, the Pittman family--a homeschooling family--suffered a devastating fire in their home.  Three of their eight children lost their lives in the fire while the remaining children and the mother were taken to various hospitals receiving treatments.  The father was not home at the time of the fire.  

Beginning soon after the fire was extinguished, donation collections were begun by Agape Leadership Development to cover the family's immediate needs: gas, food, lodging, doctor appointments, prescriptions, etc. Through 04/26/12, donations for the Pittmans have been received by ALD from 27 states and 2 foreign countries totalling $25951. 100% of the monies collected by ALD go DIRECTLY to the family.  >>>CLICK HERE TO VIEW MORE INFORMATION OR TO MAKE A DONATION.<<<
