If you knew that your child, sister, brother, father, mother or someone important to you was in danger…would you take action to change what was about to happen?

Keeping warm, here in michigan, during the winter is difficult. It is difficult for a number of reasons; not the least of it being financial. Everything under the sun keeps going up in price.
