Aid for Alex & Blake after Break-in

My niece and her roommate (Alex Williams and Blake Doyle)  were victims of a home invasion early in the morning Monday Sept. 10 in Pittsburgh, PA. They are both seniors at Point Park University. Four men broke into their apartment at 3:45 AM and held guns to their heads while they robbed them. They are -- physically -- OK. They love their college and they love Pittsburgh but they want to move...obviously, they no longer feel safe in their current space.   

We all cringe at asking for help in this way, but this is not frivolous...these are two 20 year old creative and wonderful young women just loving life, loving college, loving their city. They've been robbed, not only of money and property, but of an innocence and feeling of security that they can not get back. The thought of my niece with a gun to her head makes me cry--I feel so helpless! Can we help alleviate some of their stress by setting up a fund to help them with the expenses related to getting into their new apartment? Anything you can do to help is appreciated.
