Some organizations have asked people to share their donations to encourage others to donate. In other cases it may be for validation. But, hopefully, the point is that more people are donating where its needed most.

Cynthia Wesley was my cousin. One of her dolls was passed down to me and is still at my parent's home in Chicago. Today we remember her life and the lives of the other three Black girls killed in the Sixteenth Street Baptist Church bombing.
On September 15th, 1963, a bomb planted by white supremacists ripped through Sixteenth Street Baptist Church killing four little girls – Addie Mae Collins (14), Cynthia Diane Wesley (14), Carole Robertson (14) & Carol Denise McNair (11) – & injuring several others.

We will never forget Carole Robertson, Addie Mae Collins and my cousin Cynthia Wesley— all 14 years old, and 11-year-old Denise McNair.
The 4 girls were murdered in the 16th Street Baptist Church bombing in an act of terrorism by a Klan related group on 9/15/1963 in Birmingham.
