Keeping Warm in Detroit

The Heat And Warmth Fund, THAW, has been helping more than 155,000 Michigan households; including they elderly, unemployed, underemployed, and disabled individuals who found themselves in temporary crisis. Their passion stems from preventing human suffering by providing low-income families with warmth (http://bit.ly/ygvj19).

This is a great cause, because we can all relate to the bitter chill of winter. THAW helps provide a platform for concerned citizens to help contribute to the solution.
