Family tragedy brings WWE superstars and fans together to help

By Scott Fishman

Superstars, divas and fans have recently shown how powerful the WWE Universe and social media can be in times of tragedy.

Dana Ghazzawi and Caleb Dreyer, of AJ Lee fan website April-Jeanette.org, woke up to shocking news a few days ago. On Tuesday, June 18 (United Kingdom time) their friend and fellow staffer for the site Shirleigh Kaur (affectionately called Shirlz) lost her home in a fire. She and other family escaped, but her mother Caroline and sister Hayleigh did not make it out.

Shirlz and the rest of her family were taken to the hospital and treated. Dreyer says the team scrambled together for hours trying to get something put together to help her and her family.

"We we're also hurting, because we also knew Hayleigh, but we had to be strong for Shirlz," he said.

"So we got the fund started and it started off to a good start. Now, we're still promoting it and trying to earn as much money as possible. Our ultimate goal is...$9,000/$10,000 in US dollars. The idea was just pretty random. We felt useless, and we wanted to do something to help our friend, so we asked via Twitter if people would be willing to donate. They said yes, and it was a done deal."

A fundraising page was set up on Go Fund Me (The Kaur Fund by April-Jeanette .Org - GoFundMe) to those who want to contribute to helping the family. WWE superstars, divas and many from the WWE Universe who are familiar with the girls, or not, have used the #RIPHayleigh on Twitter over the last few days to send out their condolences, photos with the sisters, memories with the two and raise awareness for the fundraising effort.

Tweets could be seen from the likes of AJ Lee, Natalya, Wade Barrett, Layla and other WWE personalities, some which donated to the fund anonymously.

Gabe Tuft and Michael Hutter (Tyler Reks/Derrick Bateman) are auctioning off signed 8x10s with all proceeds going to the fund. Random donors have been offered the opportunity to receive items such as 8x10s of AJ. Ghazzawi has even offered up a WrestleMania shirt signed by Big E Langston, Dolph Ziggler and AJ as a way to generate money.

"I also should note that AJ has been extremely helpful in all this," Dreyer said.

"She's been going along with us each step of the way. We're seriously so grateful!"

Others have also donated one-of-a-kind memorabilia for auction with proceeds benefiting the fund. Visit The Kaur Fund | APRIL-JEANETTE.ORG for full details. While in no way will the money raised replace the family or keepsakes lost, every little bit will help this family as they cope and mourn the loved ones who perished and try to rebuild their lives.

This is a true instance of people helping others selflessly in times of need.
