Please Help

I was perusing my daily wedding item sales on craigslist today and ran across this ad. It made my heart melt and so want to be a help. So, if anyone in the northern Oregon/southern Washington area knows of any possible resources for this couple, please send them along!

I'm trying to help a young mentally disabled couple achieve their biggest dream-to get MARRIED after 11 years together. Problem is they live on SSI and simply cannot afford 100.-500. for a few hours to rent a church, community room, grange, etc. That would be their entire months rent. Is there any church or public/private place in Clark County that would be willing to donate 3-4 hours? We expect about 50-80 people, and only need something where we can keep potluck food warm and tables to eat at afterward, and obviously an appropriate place for a small wedding ceremony. We would leave it cleaner than we found it, and not take the kindness for granted. They just want to be like everyone else they see and have a special day to cherish. If there is a kind person that would like to donate the time to officiate we'd be very grateful for that as well. We are hoping for an early spring wedding, providing we can get supplies together by then. I donated my $600. wedding dress and am having it altered to fit her.Thank you for reading. Don't they look like they're in love??
