What would you do with the $25,000?I want to use this opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the lives of children affected by war in the Holy Land. The proceeds will be donated to the Holy Child Program, of the Franciscan Sisters of the Eucharist, in Jerusalem, to provide education, hope, healing, and a sense of normalcy to children who have endured unimaginable hardship. Every vote cast is an act of solidarity with these children, an investment in their dreams, education and future. Thank you
