City Hall agreed. Um... Wha??? Between 50 and 70?
Now a nice story. Little 11-year-old Deckjing is a hard-working and dedicated student who, unbeknown to her teachers, was living with her impoverished father in a ramshackle tin hut, often going hungry. Upon discovering Deckjing's and her father's predicament, private charitable donations came flowing in. Deckjing will be fine now, but if you still want to help,
