A once-secret fund that allowed an anonymous donor to give $17 million since 2005 to help poor people in the Detroit area is ending April 30.

The fund paid for necessities such as rent, medicine and overdue utility bills for people in Detroit, Hamtramck and Highland Park. Details of the fund were made public earlier this year after a Roman Catholic priest and an acquaintance were charged with stealing money from the fund.

Bugarin says the donor's decision had nothing to do with the criminal case.
