---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Patty Bulack <[email protected]> Date: Thu, May 1, 2014 at 1:24 PM Subject: Please donate to our fund for shooting victim, Philippe Holland To: "[email protected]" < [email protected]>, Gerry Davis <[email protected]>, "[email protected]" <[email protected]> Hello All, I want to invite you to give impactful expression to our shared dismay at this happening in our neighborhood. If you are like me, you were alarmed by the sound of 3 helicopters persistently flying overhead that night. Turns out they were news helicopters, which are very quick on the draw when it comes to police shootings. There is more to be done in response, but to begin with we are asking for you all to express support to Philippe and his family by donating to the fund we have set up. Kate Krauss has been hugely instrumental in helping me to get this going, and we are very grateful to Mariposa for lending their very cool set-up for receiving donations directly into their registers. We will be posting this on facebook, and please feel free to spread the word through your own social networks. The text below is what we are planing to put out. We will accept donations for the next 2 months, and I will try to keep you all updated as to how the amounts are going regularly. We know that his family would very much appreciate your prayers as well! Yours, Patty THE FUND FOR PHIL Philippe Holland, a 20 year-old community college student, was shot three times by police--apparently by mistake--at 51st and Willows Street in West Philly on 4/22. He is recovering at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. His family asks for prayers and wants to spread the word that he has "never, ever, EVER, been in any trouble." If you would like to chip in to help his family cope with his expenses, you can drop off money with the cashiers of the Mariposa Food Coop. 4824 Baltimore Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19143 (215) 729-2121 Philippe's family is also accepting donations through PAYPAL: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/send-money-online(Send to [email protected]) Below is a photo of the flowers and card we gave his family on April 24th.
