Michael Corbin Memorial Account
UPDATE APRIL 19, 2008 and MAY 2, 2008:
THIS IS STILL A SERIOUS NEED - MIKE’S FANS WERE NOT WEALTHY PEOPLE - AND ONE IN PARTICULAR LOANED THE FAMILY THE AMOUNT NECESSARY TO AT LEAST GIVE MIKE A DECENT FUNERAL. THESE FOLKS HAVE NOT BEEN RE-PAID TODATE.
THANK YOU.
Update Friday March 28, 2008: This is still an urgent need as burial arrangements must still be met.
Michael Corbin’s family is in need of immediate funds to pay for Michael’s funeral expenses.
Anyone wishing to donate may do so by asking for ‘The Michael Corbin Memorial Account’ at any of First Bank’s numerous Colorado locations.
If you wish, you may call the main bank directly at 303-274-5000; then dial zero for a customer service representative. You may use a major credit card to donate.
You can mail checks directly to the account. Send checks here:
First Bank of Arapahoe County
P.O. Box 4667
Centennial, CO 80155-9937
Make checks out to ‘The Michael Corbin Memorial Account’.
Thanks to all who offer even the smallest amount. Since Michael left no life insurance, the family is in desperate need right now.
For those who wish to send a check or cash, or even offer a short-term loan — you may contact Michael’s sister, Terry Avari at 720-427-5798. God bless you all for your prayers and generosity at this difficult time.

This might be helpful:
If any of those who knew Michael and valued his work had a website where they can post a prominent link to this page, it would be of great help in streamlining getting the word out and assisting with very urgently needed donations.

Great idea, Indira. Anyone who wants to link to the site is most welcome to add a graphic for the link. The graphic location is http://www.pidradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/03/corbinbutton.jpg The image is 175 pixels wide.
Thanks in advance to all who help ‘get the word out’ — also, please note the family’s immediate need for an infusion of funds to pay for the funeral expenses.

Thank you to everyone that donated to help Michael and his family. Everybody that sent in checks, I will send a thank you card and everyone else that donated with cash, here is a big THANK YOU TO YOU!! If the bank has kept a record of all who has donated I will send you a card. So, again THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH.
Thank you for loving and caring for Michael. It is so very much appreciated. Really when you think about it, there are no words for me to express how much it means to me, that so many people gave. I will always remember what kind people there is in this world and I will always remember to pay it forward.
