Dylann Roof's sister tried to raise money for canceled wedding

Remember Dylann Roof? The 21 year old racist who allegedly killed 9 people at the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina? Well, his older sister Amber Roof, 27, who was due to wed on June 21st called off her wedding after her brother allegedly murdered those 9 church goers.

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.

She was very upset that she had to cancel her wedding so she went on GoFundMe asking for donations to help her pay some of the wedding costs and send her on a dream honeymoon.

The page attributed to the couple called 'A Fresh Start for Michael and Amber' went live 5 days ago in which she asked for $5,000 to help recoup 'lost wedding costs, to pay bills, and to send us on our dream honeymoon'. She Said she would give 10 per cent of donations to the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church.

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.

One angry woman, Melissa Williams-Stewart, wrote on the page before it was taken down: 'I'm sorry but it is insane to me that you have the nerve to ask people to donate for a honeymoon.

Another person said: 'Look I'm sorry your brother screwed up your wedding plans, however I'm way more concerned about the people who lost there (six) loved ones.' 

Another person sent in a donation with the message: 'Here's $9 for the Nine Victims.'
