Hudson NY Man-Extorted for $85,000+

You may have heard that recently an elderly Hudson man had been extorted out of his life's savings.  He lived in fear for his life and the lives of his family and the perpetrator played on his fears for a long time. That man-Michael Tice-is my brother-in-law. The article about this crime from the Albany Times Union can be read here: http://www.timesunion.com/local/article/Police-Man-posed-as-undercover-agent-to-extort-7082749.php   Michael has worked very hard his whole life, in a factory-supporting himself, his wife (who was a stay-at-home mom) and their three children, and currently his grandson, also. This has been a traumatic event for everyone in the family and their lives have been turned upside down.  Although the man who did this damage has been arrested and his assets seized, it won't make up for the losses that have been incurred to Michael and his wife.  They will have to leave their home of almost 30 years.  They need help! I am asking you to donate to Michael and his wife, to ease some of their financial burdens, but more importantly to let them know that people do care and that there are good, generous people in the world, especially in their community.  https://www.gofundme.com/helpticefamily All donations will be used to pay for their living expenses and their relocation.  I am also asking that you share Michael's situation with your friends and loved ones.  I cannot express to you how much I appreciate your taking the time to read this and to donate to them.  They are 100% deserving of your generosity.  So many times we read or hear of ugly stories like this one, and we wish there was something we could do.  Well....there is something you can do.   https://www.gofundme.com/helpticefamily

All of us, in Michael's family, thank you.
