Letters of support pour into Victoria mosque

A Catholic man in Massachusetts didn't have much to spare, but he mailed $5 anyway.

Strangers, people of different faiths and from different states have sent their love to the Victoria Islamic Center members.

Since their mosque burned Jan. 28, congregation members have received more letters than they can count and more than $27,000 in mailed donations from 13 states to their post office box alone.
