NY1 reports that a Manhattan hedge fund manager assured the family of a Brooklyn woman who was torched in her building's elevator that he will help them pay for a Friday memorial service, saying that a "glitch" delayed his donation. Brooklyn Councilwoman Letitia James said that hedge fund manager Darren Weingrow assured her that he would pay for the service for Deloris Gillespie, seen above.
Gillespie's memorial service will be at noon Friday at the First African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church at 54 MacDonough Street in Brooklyn. Harlem's Unity Chapel Funeral is handling the ceremony.
This came hours after Gillespie's family members addressed reporters to say that they feared they could not afford a service.
