She was due to wed her fiancée U.S. Army Reserve Recruiter Michael Tyo at The Mitchell House and Gardens in Lexington on June 21, just 4 days after the atrocity in Charleston, South Carolina.
On the page, Roof reiterated the purpose of canceling the wedding in the first place.
“We canceled our wedding to protect our family and mourning the lives of those lost,” she wrote. “Many friends and family members came into town and took time off of work to be there for us. We could not ask you to do that again.”
“Our wedding day was suppose to be the most important and special day of our lives,” she wrote on the website. “It was suppose to start our lives together with our new family. Our day was the exact opposite.”
Over 30 donors contributed to the GoFundMe before it was abruptly taken down, with amounts ranging from $9 to $200.
Some donors left messages expressing sorrow and sympathy for the couple.
“I too have a selfish brother that has ruined a few of my special days” wrote a donor under the name of Megan P. “A situation like this could have easily been me since my brother has threatened to kill my father on several occasions.”
But she removed it yesterday after the page had raised $1,604 after a barrage of criticism which called it insensitive and offensive.
