Hey Brenda,

I got a call from them a few weeks ago. I had never heard of them and I told the caller that I am a survivor and already have favorite organizations I donate to. She then asked if I could give something to them for the "victims" - I told her I was one and hung up. I also looked at their website and thought it was a bit vague.
