Justice for Marcus

Donation protected
Marcus was diagnosed with a severe mental illnesses. The mental health resources are very limited especially for younger males. Marcus was arrested for a non violent crime but was deemed incompetent to stand trial. He was instead referred to a state hospital. After Marcus completed treatment from the hospital, he was transferred back to Alachua county jail to be released. Marcus died in Alachua county jail the same day of his arrival and the same day he was supposed to be released. Marcus had just turned 32. He loved drawing and once drew a picture of Jesus for the Rock church in New York and the University of Florida Gators basketball team tickets. Marcus never believed in using drugs, but mental illness has the same debilitating effects. Marcus Goodman's case can be seen on the city of Gainesville, FL top news. His case is still under investigation as to why he died in police custody. Please help my family cover the cost of his funeral and other burial cost. My family needs your help as we grieve and your prayers.
