Hello everyone! Today, we have a heartfelt story of generosity and solidarity in the face of tragedy. Actress Catherine Oxenberg, widely recognized for her role as Amanda Carrington on the iconic 1980s soap opera “Dynasty,” has made a significant donation to support victims of a recent shooting at a Trump rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Catherine Oxenberg donated $50,000 to a GoFundMe campaign authorized by former President Trump. This fund aims to assist the families affected by the tragic event. Along with her donation, Oxenberg shared a touching message: “My heart breaks for the families of the victims and for the tragic loss of life.
May God bless them and hold them close as they grieve.” She also promoted the GoFundMe on her official X account to encourage further contributions.
This GoFundMe campaign was initiated by Meredith O’Rourke, Trump’s national finance director and senior adviser. It has garnered impressive support, raising over $5 million from more than 68,000 donors.
One of the key beneficiaries is the family of Corey Comperatore, a brave firefighter who lost his life shielding his loved ones from bullets during the rally.
Additionally, another GoFundMe was set up by Jason Bubb, owner of the Three Fit Six gym in Cabot. Bubb’s fundraiser specifically supports Comperatore’s daughter, Allyson, who is a well-known and cherished member of the gym community. This campaign has already raised over $1.2 million.
Bubb’s heartfelt message on the fundraiser page reads, “Saturday night, our friend and family, Allyson, lost her father due to a senseless, tragic act at the Trump rally in Butler. Allyson has been an athlete with us since the beginning. She’s a huge part of our community … if you’re able to support her and her family during this time, we will have a spot for donations at the gym. Additionally, please take the time to sign the cards at the desk.”
In an update, Bubb expressed his amazement at the outpouring of support, stating, “Wow. We are over $800k in less than 24 hours. I would say our goal is 1M. Please share with everyone you know. Allyson and family are truly grateful for all your support.”
This story is a powerful reminder of the strength and compassion that can emerge in times of crisis. The community’s response to these fundraisers highlights the importance of coming together to support those in need.
Catherine Oxenberg’s generous donation and the overwhelming contributions from thousands of others exemplify the impact of collective goodwill. As these families navigate their grief, the support they receive will undoubtedly provide some solace and assistance in these challenging times.
