Locals Helping Locals: how YOU can help too!

Our very own League member Danielle Bush is doing more than just her League requirements, she is helping support a local family. Thanks Danielle for letting us know about this great local opportunity to help out!


The Children of the Pugh Family


Jacksonville local Rayhana Essau Goll started helping this family of six out here and there when she first met them about a year and half ago. When she found out this disabled father and laid off mother of four had found themselves living in a hotel room with no car, no food, and no permanent place to live she took it a step further. 

Rayhana started a fundraising page for the Pugh family on www.gofundme.com, which allows individuals to collect donations for anything from assistance for medical bills, to mission trips and personal projects. 

So far the page has raised $3,600 and they are close to the $5,000 goal that would get this family out of a hotel and into a reasonable living situation.


If you would like to find out more about this family and how you can help go to the fundraising page and you can email Rayhana directly.
