Sure. In Tennessee

That’s it. Kids in Tennessee will get fucked over. All the other kids in every other state and 4 other countries will be unaffected.

Because, again, this has nothing to do with the program itself. That is funded by Dolly and her estate.

This is just the last mile bit for the kids.

And yes, plenty of those private donors will step right back up. Many are tiny little local orgs and small businesses that do it for kids in their immediate area.

I hope your view of the world is the one that prevails, for all our sake.

It’s not my view. It’s how the program works lmao.

Like it’s not a matter of opinion or anything. It’s fact.
