Donations
Do not be discouraged by the goal meter to the right of the mainpage. It will not start counting until 3-5 business days after the first donation. We have already collected $250 on-line in the first day. Thanks to all that have supported. Also, this goal counter does not link to those who may have given directly to the fund at Fifth Third Bank.
Update
We wanted to provide a quick update. At this time, we are still waiting for additional information as to what happened to Anthony the night he was struck by a fleeing driver in Lexington. The family is doing as best as possible, but still need your support and prayer.
Unfortunately, the family also needs your financial support. As many of you know, Anthony was a tireless worker in the fashion industry. While he worked many hours and long days, Anthony's employers did not offer insurance and other benefits that would have greatly assisted his parents with the financial struggle of an unsuspecting tragic homicide.
Please use this site to share your feelings or just read the comments. Its truly a beautiful site, where all that loved Anthony can come to while we all struggle through this loss. This site also gives information for those who may be interested in financially assisting the Gay family. Anything you give will be greatly appreciated. No amount is too small.
Finally, we are looking into having a fundraiser for the Anthony Eugene Gay Fund in the very near future. We are also looking for individuals to assist the foundation in forwarding Anthony's legacy (A Celebration of Life) for many years to come. Let us know if you are interested by emailing justiceforanthony@gmail.com.
Thirty years just wasn't enough of AMP BOOGIE!

One Month Ago
One month ago yesterday, we lost Anthony.
The pain is still very raw for his family and close friends. As much as we can intellectually grasp that he is gone, our hearts can't seem to catch up to this reality. We ache to hear his voice and see his handsome face. We spend sleepless nights thinking about him. We close our eyes and see his incredibly large and ridiculously contagious smile. We see him in our dreams, waking up willing to give anything in the world to touch him and feel him and smell him again.
We remember sitting next to him in the hospital bed, waiting for the moments when the nurses were not in the room adjusting his IVs or administering medications. Because in those moments, alone with him, we could talk to him intimately, stroke his face and kiss his hands. All this, knowing that somewhere, behind all the tubes and cords and tape and machines, that he could hear us. We told him he wasn't alone, we told him how much we loved him, we prayed over his body. We said our goodbyes.
We try hard to focus on the good times . We try to comfort ourselves with the knowledge that he is in a better place; but struggle to feel closure when there are so many unanswered questions. Not only do we mourn the loss of having Amp in our lives; but we we mourn for all the people that he had not yet met. We mourn their loss as well, because he had so many more lives he was going to touch. So many more people that were going to benefit from knowing him and his gentle and caring soul.
The world, not just us, lost something rare and incredible on July 2, 2008.
Please, if you have the means, donate to the Anthony Eugene Gay Fund/Foundation so that Anthony's memory stays alive and he can continue to make a difference in this world.
In addition, if anyone has any information on what happened on July 29, 2008 please contact police at 859-258-3600 or email justiceforanthony@gmail.com.
