Fundraiser for Artur Kasprzak – a Sandy victim

Hurricane Sandy has taken the life of police officer Artur Kasprzak. From what I've read, this guy was a hero. Lets spread the word and help alleviate at least the financial difficulties that his family may face due to his passing.

Here are excerpts from some news reports:

"'Hero' New York cop drowns in his basement saving SEVEN family members from surge"

"Around 7 p.m., with flood waters surging in his home, Kasprzak was able to get six members of his family, including two men, ages 69 and 31, along with three women, ages 31, 56 and 68 and a 15-month-old boy into his attic so they could safely escape rapidly rising water. Kasprzak then told one of the women he rescued that he was going to check the basement, but would be right back, the NYPD said in a release. However, some time later — around 7:23 p.m., one of the women called 911 to report the officer missing."

This is one of the stories that touched my heart. I welcome others to use the power of crowdfunding to help others affected by this disaster.

I am going to be sharing this link everywhere and hopefully we'll see what can happen when kind-hearted people come together. I am getting in touch with the family so they can add PayPal details to this fundraiser - alternatively, if you are from the NYPD contact me to have the funds sent straight to you.

Please donate whatever you can to help the family of Artur. I've set a target of $5,000 but I've allowed 'overfunding'. It's really important that even if you can't donate, you help spread the message.
