After Friday's deadly rampage at the Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn., that took the lives of 20 children and six adults at the school, many organizations in the area have set up ways to help.
My Sandy Hook Family Fund was started to help the families who'd lost children and family members. Donations will go toward helping them meet immediate expenses, including funeral services, as well as ongoing living expenses such as food, mortgage payments, day care, insurance and fuel.
