Support fund for Zakiya

The unexpected and sudden death of Russ has been a shock to us all. No one is more heartbroken than his girlfriend of over 15 years, Zakiya. We, her friends, are starting this fundraising campaign to help with her expenses in this time of great sorrow. We feel that it is important for her to have the time she needs to process this whole awful experience. A little extra cash will ensure that she can meet her immediate financial commitments and have a little nest egg for her future security. I know that everyone will do what they can to help and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your outpouring of love and support. You all meant the world to Russ and are still very much loved and needed by Zakiya.
