Letter To The Editor: Alton Armed Robbery Victim Thankful For Arrests, But Seeks Help After Financial Loss

Letter To The Editor:

I was a victim of an armed robbery on July 22nd in the town of Alton Illinois, and they've caught the robber and his accomplice that robbed me of $1,500 but they weren't able to get my money back. I worked for a moving company and was delivering home goods when the robbery happened. I had $1,500 in cash with me when I was robbed.

The loss in the robbery and has been very difficult on me financially and affected my life quite a bit. It was taken in cash, so I won't be able to get it back.

Anyone who is kind enough to donate anything, I am leaving my e-mail and Paypal account information. Thank you so much for your consideration.
