A four bedroom house!!11!! And they won't even say who they ARE!!!
Bless them, I'm glad we have citizens and organizations like this.
Dallas Mayor Mike Rawlings told reporters the family was moved to a four-bedroom house of which the use was given to them by an anonymous donor in the "faith-based community."
Judge Clay Jenkins and Rawlings told reporters the donor was a friend whom they called for help. The house is in a gated community.
"They've got room to move," Jenkins said of the family, which is under quarantine and can't leave the property.

I will also laud them when they do good.

(51,666 posts)Religions do a lot of BAD, but there are also an awful lot of good religious people, and they don't generally need gods to tell them to be good.
Too many atheists want all religion banned. They don't support the First Amendment any more than the theocrats do.
