THE LEIBY KLETZKY MEMORIAL FUND
Relatives of little Leiby Kletzky have set up a memorial website in his honor with the hope of raising $1 million for needy kids.
"Leiby will never do all the acts of charity and kindness he would have done had he been granted more years to live," the site stated. "But Leiby's memory can and will live on through the Leiby Kletzky Memorial Fund established by his grieving parents and sisters."
The fund, which will be overseen by Leiby's parents Nachman and Esty, will help children who have lost their parents, critically ill kids and impoverished families struggling to feed and clothe their children.
Leiby went missing in Borough Park on July 11 as he walked home alone from day camp for the first time and got lost.
Cops say the boy ran into Aron on the street and asked him for help but the man abducted him instead.
The suspect, a hardware store clerk, went to work the next day, leaving the good-natured Hasidic boy inside his small apartment in the suspect's parents' home. He left work just before 5 p.m. and returned to his attic lair.
The suspect told police he killed Leiby after freaking out when he learned of the massive search for the boy, authorities said.
Aron dismembered the lifeless boy, cutting his legs from his torso and his feet from his legs, Hynes said. Shortly after midnight on Wednesday, July 13, Aron ditched most of Leiby's remains in a Dumpster in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, sources said.
Less than three hours later, about 2:40 a.m., cops knocked on his door. Aron pointed to the freezer, where cops found Leiby's feet - chilling evidence in a crime that has shocked the entire city
The fund is a 501(c)3 organization, so not only are donations tax deductible, but they also qualify for matching gifts from many companies.
This tragedy is very close to me as I spend many hours searching for Leiby.So let this pledge leave a happy note to a tragic end..
Thank You
