Victims, donors question use of funds after Texas church massacre

[yortsed snacilbuper]

Residents of the small community about 20 miles east of San Antonio drew strength from one another after 26 people were gunned down during a church service on Nov. 5. Now, arguments about money earmarked for rebuilding the church and to help victims and their families threatens to tear the town of about 600 apart.

According to the Dallas Morning News, more than $3 million has been raised through more than 30 funds set up for donations to Sutherland Springs victims. Money to rebuild the church, which has been turned into a memorial to those killed, amounted to more than $1.1 million.

Plans for a $3 million sanctuary were announced in March, after which two major donors severed ties with the First Baptist Church, the Morning News reported.

1. $3 million for a sanctuary in that little town of 600?

That is absurd. Give out the money. If people want to donate it to rebuild the sanctuary, let them donate. But these families with sudden new responsibilities for orphaned children need the most help.
