Neighbor Kate Krauss, one of the organizers of “Fund for Phil” set up to help Philippe Holland, the pizza delivery driver shot by police near 51st and Willows on April 22, has sent us an update on Philippe’s condition, the fund and a couple of other important messages:
“Philippe has been transferred to a rehab hospital in Newark, New Jersey. He read the original card we sent for the first time three days ago and was very touched. His mother says that she can’t even find the words to express how grateful she is. So let’s keep this going–we will continue to collect money at Mariposa through June.
We have $969 in the PayPal account, so today is a great time to try to reach $1,000… Here is the link: https://www.paypal.com/
[Bindlestiff Books owner] Alexis Buss has already collected about $400 at Bindlestiff Books…”
We also hear that a Channel 3 news reporter is coming to Bindlestiff Books (4530 Baltimore Ave) tomorrow (Thursday) at 11:00 a.m. to do a little spot on the neighborhood’s response to the shooting of Phillipe Holland and those who donated money are welcome to stop by.

The reporter is coming at 11 am tomorrow to Bindlestiff Books. Throw some money into the PayPal account and come down and sign a giant card that Alexis will have. More is more when it comes to solidarity 🙂 – Kate K (PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/webapps/mpp/send-money-online)

Shouldn’t the police pay for his medical treatment?!

They will, indirectly. This will be a major lawsuit against the city.

has he received any sort of apology from the cops?
