My wife and I made a donation to the PTO that is supporting Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. They were shot by the domestic terrorist here in Minnesota two days ago, who has thankfully been caught.
As I mentioned in a previous post, Senator Hoffman and his wife have been tireless advocates for folks with disabilities, and their work has contributed to the meaningful and productive life of our son and so many others.
As the description below indicates, all the money raised will go the Hoffman’s. Yvette is an employee of the school whose PTO is raising funds, and she is currently out of work as she recovers from eight– that’s right eight– gunshot wounds.
They will also have medical bills and other expenses such as improving security at their home.
You should check with your accountant, but the PTO is a nonprofit and you could deduct this donation.
Anyway, thanks for considering. Be well and give all those you love an extra hug. Here’s the link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/support-yvette-and-john-hoffmans-recovery
