Gooden Raises Awareness for Family in Need

on

The other day, Doc Gooden posted a Tweet that caught my attention. See it below:

Screen Shot 2015-01-20 at 9.57.06 PMI was definitely interested in finding out more about what the former Mets and Yankees pitcher was supporting, so I clicked the link and heard about a story regarding a family in need:

From the Go Fund Me Page:

Funds are needed so the family can allow My Dad, Mr.Alfred Dukes to have a decent funeral. He was taken away from us unexpectedly in a tragic accident as a pedestrian! Any donations to the family is greatly appreciated so that we can lay him to rest in heaven! Thanks in advance!

Thus far, $1,290 of the intended $6,000 has been raised from 24 donors, and Gooden wants to spread the word to help this family put on the proper funeral for Alfred Dukes.
