In a remarkable act of forgiveness, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints raised over $280,000 for the family of Thomas Jacob Sanford, who attacked their church in Michigan, killing four and injuring eight. Dave Butler, a Mormon from Utah, initiated the fundraiser to help Sanford’s widow and son, receiving support from over 7,000 donors.
