"VictimsFirst President Dr. Zachary Blair said the Root Cellar’s decision (to give back their check) inspired additional donations."
“The Root Cellar showed what it looks like when an organization puts victims first. They truly turned compassion into action,” Blair said. “That example inspired others to give, creating a vital lifeline for those whose lives were shattered on October 25, 2023.”
"VictimsFirst said the entire amount, including accrued interest, was distributed through 33 separate disbursements to assist individuals facing ongoing financial hardship connected to the shootings."
"According to VictimsFirst, the money was used to help cover food, rent, utility bills, car payments, childcare, transportation costs, dental bills, auto repairs, children’s mental health needs, and other expenses tied to the aftermath of the shooting."
