Remember the little boy who bagged groceries? Here's how to donate to help his family.
Here is what the reporter wrote back to me. I would appreciate enough recommendations and kicks to get this up on the Greatest page and kept visible. I imagine a lot of DUers will want to know about this. Thanks.
Thanks for reading my story about Chris Little.

As you can imagine, the response has been overwhelming for him and for us. We received calls and emails from more than 100 people who wanted to donate time or money. That’s why it’s taken me so long to get back to you.

I wrote a follow up story on Thursday that you can find here which has information on how to donate:

http://www.courierpostonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=2008811130376

Basically, monetary gifts can be sent to any TD bank, checks should be directed to “Catholic Charities FBO The Bell Family.” Other donations should be coordinated through Catholic Charities, 856-342-4100. Please call them and not the newspaper. We simply aren’t set up to coordinate donations and ethically, we can’t get involved in that either.

Thanks again for reading.

- Deborah

11. Wow. I thought DUers would be more interested in this. At least the
posters on the original story indicated that they wanted to know how to help this little guy and his family out.
