This fund was set up by the lawyers for the family of Michael Brown:
More than $95,000 raised to help Michael Brown family
A crowdfunding site set up for the family of Michael Brown had helped raise more than $95,000 by Tuesday night for a memorial fund to help his family. The goal was $80,000.
"Their pursuit for justice will be lengthy and hard but with the support of the community they will get justice," the site says. "If you are willing to support Michael’s family please donate to Michael Brown’s Memorial Fund. These funds will assist his family with costs that they will acquire as they seek justice on Michael’s behalf. All funds will be given to the Michael Brown family. We appreciate your support."
The site was set up by the family's lawyers, Benjamin L. Crump and Anthony D. Gray.

Mary Engelbreit, an artist who lives in St. Louis County, has made a picture she will sell with all proceeds going to the Michael Brown Memorial Fund. It's a beautiful picture. Some people may know her work. She did "Life is a Chair of Bowlies" and "Wherever You Go, There You Are." Here are her words:
When situations turn horrible and I find it hard to move on, I usually draw my way through it. These drawing hardly ever see the light of day, since they're really just a form of therapy for me. But these events unfolding now in my hometown and across the country , shining a light on the ugly racism that still runs rampant in our country, made me think that maybe this drawing could help in some small way. While it's not a cheerful little picture you'd want to hang over the sofa, you might know of a school or an office or a police station that could use it.
All proceeds from the sale of this print will go to the Michael Brown Jr. Memorial Fund. It will be available in 2 days, only from my website, maryengelbreit.com/shop. As soon as it's ready, I'll put the official link on this page.

If you look closely, the newspaper headline is "Hands Up, Don't Shoot," and the baby has his hands up as the mother is teaching him. The words are "No One Should Have to teach their Children this in the USA."
Please leave some nice comments to combat the outpouring of racist hate because she dared to care.
And for those who wish to, you can donate on this page:Michael Brown Memorial Fund
