Russellville is sort of known as a town of people of very modest means. I did not know this young man, but I DID check to make sure this is legitimate, through a public records service I subscribe to on an annual basis. He is (was) a real person, and the other names in the file also check out.
I kicked in a donation to take them over the 1/2 way point. Wouldn't it be cool

I don't need to know if you donated, or what you donated. I am just trying to help out this young widow.
