"I'm sorry to say it, but a few posters on this thread are making me sick. I'm going to close it down. "
See - told you guys...if rod does not like it he shuts it down...
censorship! Is he really a woman!
Why does it not surprise me that you'd carry on your idiocy in another thread?
Zach, I deleted this troll's posts here, and everywhere. He posted under several different names on the Ted Kennedy thread, and my investigation shows that he's been posting similarly idiotic comments on lots of threads, under lots of different names. I can't tell what his real name is, but he'll be junked every time he shows up. Please don't feed him.

Yeah, I had a nice running battle with him in the Kennedy thread. I have a bad habit of feeding trolls, unfortunately.
Thank you, Rod, for letting us know this child's story.
Is it tax deductible? If not, I'd donate my time & labor, but in no way will I let my charitable giving be taxed
I don't know. I can't vouch for it, and don't want to be read as recommending to people that they donate. I'm just answering private queries from a number of readers asking if there was any way they could give something to help the family out.
Odd, though, that the one thing keeping you from giving money is fear that the contribution might not be tax deductible. I'm afraid I don't understand that.

It's not odd at all. There are many charitable organizations and causes out there to which one may contribute. The fact that this one is high profile momentarily in the media tells us nothing in terms of its quality. Making sure a contribution can be tax-deductible means you have more money to give to other charities. It's good stewardship and it's simple math.
Thank you for posting about the courage and love of this young lady and her family. Unfortunately, in a fallen world, Christians must know how they will respond to such horrors. I address this kind of situation at length in my forthcoming book. But, for now, I would point to the column I wrote after Virginia Tech. While, forgiveness does need to be offered, we need to read Romans 12:17-21 carefully when processing evil like this.
