I wanted to let you know that the funeral of  Kevin Reiss, the 22-year-old son of Kevin and Mary Weiss, was held today in Albany, N.Y. Milan died more than a week ago from complications from  Muscular Dystrophy.

You made this possible, you brought piece to a shattered family. A new Sony Play Station 4 is on the way to Kevin’s older son.

The family needed $8,000 to pay for Milan’s funeral. As of today, the gofundme project the family launched to raise the money has raised $7,489, thanks in great part to the Army Of Good.

Last week, I gave Kevin another $1,000 from small donations sent to me from all over the country. That was enough to pay for the funeral.

I’m hoping the fund can go all the way, we just need $519 dollars. I have a plan to help.

Kevin is a teacher at Bishop Maginn High School, responsible for teaching history and also counseling students with disciplinary or academic problems. He also started a basketball league called the Upstate Wolfpack, a program to get street kids in Albany into a program that teaches leadership, teamwork, and discipline and gets them off of the streets. There are not eight teams in the league.

He was a successful chef who decided he’d rather devote his life to helping needy children.

I’d like to see the gofundme project meet its goal of $8,000. The family had enough to pay for the funeral, and thanks, their issue now is the rent, which is $1,800 a month.  They could use two months payment.

They had enormous medical expenses for Milan and neither Kevin nor Mary, who is an elementary school teacher,  could work this summer because he needed continuous care.

So I’m mentioning the gofundme here for the last time here, and tomorrow, I’ll count up any new small donations (you can send them via Paypal, [email protected]) and try to reach the gofundme goal myself. If we go over for any reason, we’ll send the money right over to the family.

Then, it’s time to move on. There are some young children desperate for some tuition support to get into Bishop Maginn.

I want to thank those many people who send donations for Milan – so many of them small – so the family could bury their son. Don’t ever think $5 or $10 is not a lot of money.

Kevin is a good man, he does a lot of good. It’s an honor to help him through this very hard time.

I thank you all again for joining our Compassion Revolution.

We just might change the world a bit. Perhaps we already have.
