    I strongly believe that any one can lend a helping hand about the orlando shooting victims which happened and we are using media to ask to give what ever you have to support the US Government. Equality Florida set up a donation page on GoFundMe to support the victims. The fund has raised more than $120,000 from more than 3,000 donors since being set up. kindly reply with the following information to Mrs Edward Joyce on(orlandoshootingvictimsdonation@gmail.com) Or Call 405-303-7049 thank you!
