I received a really touching e-mail from Devan Jackson, thanking me for the articles that I have written about him being the other victim of the El Segundo theater shootings.  Some of it was personal, but here's a bit of what he said:

"A large majority of the comments on the article were of people wanting to assist me financially. I find it to be a true blessing from God that people can find it in their hearts to be so generous.

I gotta tell you Larry, it's hard losing your job and having an injury that temporarily prevents you from finding another job. But time stops for no one and I still have bills.

Remember I told you about the lady that wanted to help pay my rent? She came by my grandma’s house today and gave me $540 to help. That was generous of her and I’m blessed. I'm working on getting the rest of my money for rent and other utilities. I have God on my side so I will be alright."

To the readers: Anyone who has anything for Devan please contact me at 310-543-6655 or Larry.Altman@dailybreeze.com and I will forward the information to him.
