Donations for burned black churches in Louisiana are up after Notre Dame fire
"As we hold Paris in our hearts today, let's also sent some love to our neighbors in Louisiana," a Tuesday tweet from Hillary Clinton read.
"It's a blessing, truly a blessing," the Rev. Freddie Jack, president of the Seventh District Missionary Baptist Association, said of the fundraising campaign in a telephone interview Tuesday night. The three churches are members of the association. The campaign hit $500,000 Tuesday evening, with contributions ranging from $5 to thousands of dollars.
