*Fighting for justice has become a full time job for the mother of slain Florida teen, Trayvon Martin.
Sybrina Fulton has been on the road raising awareness about her son’s death and campaigning for justice, but her job is in jeopardy.
So a few of her co-workers stepped in and pooled over $40,000 of vacation time to donate to their grieving and fighting peer.

Now Fulton can work full time for eight months demanding her son’s death be avenged through the court.
The outpouring of support came after the Miami-Dade County Commission passed a resolution last month to allow county employees to donate vacation time to Fulton or Trayvon’s aunt, Yolanda Knight Evans, who works for the county as a water and sewer customer-service representative.

After just two-weeks of passing the resolution, the $50,000 cap the commission set on the gifts was reached, The Miami Herald reports.
Further, Martin’s parents have joined forces to raise awareness about the controversial ‘Stand Your Ground’ law via a non-profit organization they launched only a week after their son’s death.
According to the attorney who helped set up the foundation, the pair will begin to receive an income from the work they are doing in the community, but it will be at the same level of their current salary.

Looks like both side are making money from this tragic.

YOU would CONSIDER the above as ‘making money from this tragic’.
What’s tragic is your slithering around like the snake you are trying to cast aspersions on this family and their son with these sneaky underhanded comments. What’s also tragic is some Black person probably had a hand in creating the monstrosity you have developed into.
Melody you are batting a 100 today!!!!!!!
music, how can someone even like Gayle attempt to turn kind gestures into something so mercenary?? Bet she didn’t say shyt about the hundreds of thousands the murderer raised since she probably donated herself. Notice she hasn’t chimed in on those racists selling hoodies as if they’re targetting Trayvon once again.
Very generous of her co-workers. Nice!
The article says they’ll be receiving money that is the same amount that their salary normally is. They’re not making anything above and beyond that from the foundation. And you better believe they’ll be working a lot harder than they do in their normal job. Not to mention the mental strain and stress of it all.
EXACTLY. She’s trying to imply the family is grubbing for money for frivolous reasons.
MelodyCool, thank you!!! It’s always a negative “so-and-so” (I’ve been trying to stop cussin’…lol) in the bunch to try to bring the group down…millions of ‘em. This story makes my day…[some] justice – Divine Justice – has been served. Unfortunately, I don’t know how to make a web site but it would be great to start one for Trayvon’s parents to assist in their legal fund and in so many other ways that we can only begin to imagine is needed since their lives have changed. If Zimmerman was able to raise $200,000 and more in a matter of weeks, there is no reason why Trayvon’s family should want for anything, nothin’…look at how much has been lost.
Gayle is a typical racist non-Black snake trying to twist this act of kindness into the scams they are notorious for. Notice she can never be found when her equally racist brethen pop up with their usual drivel. I feel sorry for those who eat out of her filthy hands.
True. If they hate us so much…why not stay off a site created by (one of) Us and for Us? We’ve got to realize self-hate affects all so-called ‘races’ of people. Deep down…they know the deal.
