Fake Grass or Real Housing?

First the disclaimer: I think that sports are a wonderful thing.

Now, the rant: I heard on the news today that it will cost $500,000 to replace the AstroTurf at the Metrodome in Mpls. At MWC we have been working to raise $400,000 to establish the Amazing Grace Home for pregnant women, and thus far, $262,000 has been raised through private donations, no government funds. With $400,000 we can buy a home (cash) and fund it for more than 6 months.

So, it got me thinking, hmmmm . . . fake grass or real housing? What do you think?

To contribute to the Amazing Grace Fund, send your donation to Metro Women's Center, 6418 Bass Lake Road, Crystal, MN 55428. We promise we won't spend your money on grass. Well, maybe just a small yard . . .
