CASA of the Coastal Bend plans to offer kids it serves a program focusing on photography and videography. The non-profit is asking for donations for local children in the foster care system.
What started off as an anonymous Twitter account has become a volunteer collective that has raised over $10,000 to bail out locally jailed individuals who canât afford it.
Kellie Doucette, a senior at Guyer High School, started what became the Denton Bail Fund over the summer in response to local demonstrations protesting racial injustice following George Floydâs death. Volunteers said they have spent $10,013 to help free nine people from both city and Denton County jails.
âTo start the GoFundMe and see people really want to ⦠help others is something I wouldâve never expected,â Doucette said. âIt was an amazing feeling to see how many people were donating every single day ⦠hundreds of dollars from people who probably honestly didnât have money to donate or were probably struggling financially because of the pandemic, still reaching into their pockets to help those in their community they know are less fortunate than they are.â
