Thank you to the ladies and many gentlemen who showed up this evening to pay tribute to our friend and colleague. We raised almost $1700 tonight for Ms. Manae and I am damn proud of every single one of you who came out to support. There were also donations from people not in our community who simply asked me why I was sitting there and who felt compelled to donate.

I spoke to Manae while enjoying my dinner, compliments of a very special gentleman, and she asked that I extend her heartfelt gratitude to all of you who came out in support of her. She is, I believe, overwhelmed by the support of all of us, as am I. It brings tears to my eyes.

From one parent to all of you, parents or not, thank you for caring and loving your fellow human enough to open your wallets and your hearts for this lady of ours who has been dealt a cruel blow by fate. I am in awe of all of you generous souls. God bless you all.

Most humbly yours,

Megan

to you, and others, for spearheading this event.

I'm so sorry I wasn't able to make it tonight, I'm less than 2 weeks from a relocation to Europe, and simply had to work on cleaning out the apartment.  I am not a parent, but I am a friend of Manae's.  I am deeply touched by the care you and others have shown for her, and know that she is appreciative of any and all assistance,

was really good to see the support for this event.  Met new faces and got re acquainted with some old friends.  Thanks to Megan for all she did and a special thanks to all that donated.

Megan,
I am sorry I could not attend this evening, please email me the address where donations can be sent, and I will do what I can to help.
It is great to see that the community can come together in times of need such as this.
Best Wishes to Manae,
Hugs,
Madison

Thank you for stepping up and putting forth the time and effort in behalf of Manae in this difficult time.

I had some LA guys contact me wishing to send (Via snail mail) money orders made out to the SIRR William account. You can send to my personal box (make sure money order is made out to Sirr william mem. fund)

PO Box 7289

And I will deliver to Manae daily when they come in.

Every little bit helps.

We gave because you cared enough to initiate the event.  Thank you!

Megan and Tina,
Thank you for the info on where to make the deposits, My downstairs flooded last night due to the storms, but as soon as things are cleaned up here I will head over there to help with a deposit.  please send her my best wishes, and if you need help with anything else, please let me know and I will offer my help.  
Best Wishes,
Madison

I'm glad things turned out as well as they did, Megan. Thank you, and all the other supporters, for organizing.

I was glad to hand over my small amount to such a beautiful woman and for such a worthy cause!
