ACTION:  The Boss family of Rhode Island have lost their home and all of their belongings in a fire on December 3, 2003 and have no insurance. They have an 8 year old son with autism.

We've set up a special fund to help this family in need during the holidays. I'm sure any donation large or small would help so much.

The deadline for donations is December 18, 2003, so that we give the Boss Family a check in time for the holidays. We'll keep a running tally of contributions on our website. Thanks so much for your kind gift to a family in need.
