One of that Nations here already surpassed their $30,000 goal and are donating to the others.

FYI, 4,100 out of about 150,000, so roughly 3% of the kids that went, so a lot higher than the normal child mortality rate. Some of those were runaways, but I can’t imagine life turned out well for them either way.

Some now estimate the number could be 6000 or higher.
