Summary: MWIRD has lost  70% of its funding and has had an increase of 50% in demand. In order to stay open they must collect $50,000 by the end of December or go in to dissolution.  They serve more than 10,000 people a MONTH and their operating cost is about $15,000 a month. As of 12/16/2011 @ 1:pm they have $4,290 in hand and need $45,710.
