this is heartwarming
The estate of the late, great Bea Arthur — aka Maude, aka Dorothy Petrillo Sbornak — has donated $300,000 to the Ali Forney Center. The nation’s largest organization dedicated to homeless GLBT youth, the center announced at Arthur’s memorial service last month that they planned to purchase a building to house 12 youths and name it her honor.
The Ali Forney Center offers emergency shelter and transitional housing in numerous residential sites in New York City, and operates drop-in centers offering food, clothing, medical and mental health treatment, HIV testing, treatment and prevention services, and vocational and educational assistance — providing services to over 1,000 young people each year.
