According to Mike Krumboltz in his article, "Donations Continue to Pour in For Cleveland Victims," featured in The Upbeat, readers learn about the generosity people have shown for the Cleveland kidnapping victims.

Recently discovered in the home of Ariel Castro, "Berry, Kngiht, and DeJesus were... held captive for roughly a decade." In the home, the three women were raped and beaten. Apparantly, all of them experienced miscarriages, although one did have a birth and her daughter is currently six years old.

It is reported that there has been "over 5,100 donations from all 50 states and several foreign countries." All donations have been given to the three women for financial support, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer. Key Bank has also provided financial guidance to all three women.

A restaurant in Cleveland named Hodges has "raised thousands of dollars by selling t-shirts." The t-shirts feature a picture of Charles Ramsey, one of the men who helped to rescue the three women. Charles Ramsey works at the resturant but is currently on paid leave.

It is terrifying to imagine living captive in a home of a complete stranger for ten long years with two other women. Not only were they isolated from the world, but starved, beaten, and raped as well. All the women were of young age when they were kidnapped, one of them being only 17 years old, my own age, a scary thought.

Ariel Castro, the suspected kidnapper, is pleading not guilty in his upcoming trial according to his lawyers.  Fortunately for all three women and the young daughter, they are currently in good health and receiving great financial support from all over the world, thanks to people's kind generosity.
