8. Recovery proceeding apace--GoFundMe account closed with thanks to donors
Wed Apr 8, 2015, 01:27 PM
Apr 2015

Thanks to everyone who took the time to write to Eric Martin, send donations both through this venue & by mail to him personally. We brought more awareness to the bullying epidemic that impacts so many across this country daily. I will be closing this campaign and stepping down from this case as the advocate. I wish the entire Martin family, especially Eric, all the best!

Sincerely,
Tammy G. Motola
