A while back I posted a thread about my friend Mark, a 21 year old gay man who was attacked outside of a bar.
He's doing much better, according to his mom his biggest concern is wanting to get out of the hospital so he can go to the 5 & Diner and get some chicken strips.
Due to all the hits he took to his head the doctors were concered that his personlity wouldn't be the same, but according to his mom he starts to act more like himself every day.
This past Sunday the local drag queens came to the resuce and had a benefit show and several local compamies donated items to auction. The grand total of the amount that was raised in 1 evening was more than $2,500! A local radio staion even donated 2 tickets to a Brittney Spears concert. It was quite a sight to see a bunch of men trying to win that auction! That money was added to the $1,000 that had been collected from people at the vigil the week before.
Mark's mom was so happy to see all the support that she and her son have recived. I talked to her for a little while and she was just in awe at how many people were willing to help in any way they could, by attendting the fundraiser, vigil, sending cards or saying a prayer for him.
I want to thank everyone here who said a prayer for Mark.

I am glad to hear he is recouperating and overjoyed to hear about the amount of support that was given. Prayers to Mark and his family.
Keep us posted, and let him know there’s a group of crazy animal lovers thinking of him!
