Today I took the money raised to Angie Barlow's family
I wrote two pieces about a friends daughter Angie who disappeared last year after going to a house party. Last month her remains were discovered in a shallow grave, she was murdered. What I wrote can be found at the following links. If you don't know about her story please take the time to go read it, who knows maybe you might know something and can help solve her murder.

As promised all the money raised from the post was given to her family to help pay off her funeral. Any post about Angie's case I do will be donated to her family. I was hoping they would do better than what they did but was happy they did raise a little bit and every little bit counts.
Sadly the market crashed the day before the first one paid out, but I was not going to allow that to effect the fund raiser, so the highest amount it go to before the market crashed was $28 and the other was $6 for a total of $32 but then I rounded up the next $10 and then matched the donated amount and gave the family a total of $80 I had the extra money in my exchange wallet so why not.
(the flash drive is the photos and slide show video I took of the funeral.)
He is a picture of Angie's dad accepting our donation, he asked me to thank everyone who helped my posts to raise money for them. He is touched that strangers would help his family. This is Angie's Dad Stephen
In the next week or so I am going to be sitting down with Christina and Stephen to talk about Angie's case. I will be posting the interview I do with them here, and once again all money raised on this post or any other post about Angie will be going to her family to help pay for her funeral expenses, once those are finished being paid off, any money raised will be going to boost the reward for any information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the person or persons responsible for the death of Angie Barlow.
I'm so sorry to hear about this, and it's great what you are doing!

I've just re-steemed this and will share on Facebook and Twitter as well. Hopefully, more funds will be raised for this bittersweet cause...
Parents and cops have no leads? I am interested.
There are a few leads but the cops at this time are tight lipped. They haven't given any updates to the family yet on how the case is progressing. They are suppose to get an update this coming up week, hence why I am going to be interviewing them, so hopefully we get some additional information to put out there.
wow this is really amazing :)
you are a very humble person i really like your thoughts
If you can do something when someone is in need, you do it, nothing special about that at all. And if it is, I just call it my parents raising me to do the right thing.
yes you are right and you know islam teaches us to help poor if you have enough money :)
Many people don't realize this but all religions teach helping the poor if you can. History is one of my interests and you can't study history without studying religions. People are so busy arguing who has the best one, that they don't even see how similar they actually all are.
Yes you are right
I really love what you are doing for this family. You have a great heart and God bless you for doing this. Its really disheartening when you hear news like this. I question i ask myselfbis why cant we all live in peace and love one another as a big family. Why kill an innocent person and what course at all could be better than her life? I am a huge fan of karma and i know she will hit bacj just as hard on the one who did this . life is precious so lets protect it. Thank you once again for doing this and may God once again richly bless your efforts.
Thank you for your kind words and support
