Alice &
Ja'ire
November 28
This is Alice Hattley, a
mother and community leader who could use a hand up in
helping to build up their South Central LA community.
Assisting in that endeavor, her daughter Ja'ire.
Alice Hattley and her
husband started a nonprofit out of their home church,
helping out with food and clothes. Three years ago,
Alice's husband passed away, leaving the nonprofit's
future in severe doubt, especially when they lost her
house. But even as these dark forces surround her, she
still continues to help out those less fortunate than
herself.
Simply put... Alice
Hattley... We're playing for thousands of dollars in
cash tonight, because.... YOU DESERVE IT!
Here's how it works. There are five
who/what/where puzzles, worth, in order, $10,000, $25,000, $50,000,
$100,000, and $250,000. In total, there is $435,000 to be won, and every
penny of whatever she wins goes directly to Alice. Each puzzle has 10
clues. The first one is free, but the others will have to be bought with
a portion of the total puzzle's value. You will have one - and ONLY one
- guess at the puzzle. If you are correct, whatever money is left is
yours to give no matter what. If you are wrong, you forfeit the rest of
the cash.
The clues to be bought will be assigned
to a random dollar value. She will have to pick a clue and give back the
corresponding dollar amount in order to see it.
