John Grisham responds: John Grisham and his wife have donated $5 million to create the Rebuild the Coast Fund. The fund will assist Mississippi residents and businesses. Grisham plans to hire a small staff to evaluate the requests for aid. The couple hopes to initially employ Coast residents who have lost their jobs and are familiar with the area.
