Some of you may have read Laura’s article that came out shortly after the January 12, 2010 earthquake, about the life and family of Melise Rivien, who died in the earthquake.

The money we raise will help Melise’s brothers, sisters, nieces and nephews rebuild after this latest injustice." https://www.gofundme.com/jeremie2016
