Winehouse Family Plans Charity


The family of Amy Winehouse has plans to set up a charity in her name to assist children, drug addicts and horses (her favorite animal). The charity may also aid in entering addicts into rehabilitation centers, which are said to have two year waiting lists.

Amy Winehouse's home

The headquarters will be located in Winehouse's old home. Her family thought it would be best not to put the house on the market, fearing the type of buyers it might attract.

Nonprofit Sues Casey Anthony

Texas Equusearch states they spent over $100,000 in the futile search for Caylee Anthony, the daughter of Casey Anthony, and now they want their money back. The agency was unaware that Anthony had knowledge of her daughter's death prior to the search commencing. Only after the criminal trial began did they learn the true story.

Over 4,200 volunteers gave of themselves to aid in locating Caylee. A lot of time was put into the search and the organization used 40% of their yearly resources to assist in the case. They feel they could have searched for other children during that time frame, which spanned from July to December of 2008.
