Anna's Hope
In honor of Anna Hurd, whose life was tragically taken at the young age of 16, we are raising money so that her death is not in vain. Anna was a girl who was always helping others and still is. Please donate to this organization that not only gives hope but changes many lives for good. To donate visit their website listed below or go to http://givemn.razoo.com/story/Anna-Hope.
"I hope Anna's Hope helps just one person, or praise God, save at least one person. It's so senseless and unbelievable. The past cannot be changed no matter how hard I pray but maybe someone's future can." - Anna's Mother
