As our community wrestles with that, we ask the question: what do we do when we feel helpless in the face of tragedy?During the episode, I mentioned a prayer vigil being held at Prince of Peace Lutheran Church. That will be on Thursday, Feb. 22 at 7 PM. Prince of Peace Lutheran Church is just a couple of miles from Faith Covenant; their address is 13801 Fairview Drive, Burnsville, MN 55337.If you are wanting to support the families of the three men killed financially, please donate to the Law Enforcement Labor Services fund. You can visit their site at this link: https://lels.org/benevolent-fund/. At the time of production of this episode, this is the only verified site that is directly benefiting the families of Officers Matthew Ruge, Paul Elmstrand, and firefighter/paramedic Adam Finseth. Be advised that numerous scam sites have been set to allegedly help. Again, thus far, the only legitimate, verified place to donate is the previously mentioned Law Enforcement Labor Services.If you want to receive more updates about tributes and practical ways to support, the Burnsville city page has a community updates page that is being consistently updated. Visit this link: https://www.burnsvillemn.gov/2376/Community-UpdatesOfficer Paul Elmstrand had recently signed up to run the Twin Cities Marathon to raise funds for Team World Vision, bringing clean water. His fundraising page is being kept open to fundraise for Team World Vision and clean water.
