Inspired by Robin Williams, Margaret Cho is Raising Money for the Homeless





Through social media, she has notified fans, who brought coats, pants, shirts, shoes, blankets and lots of socks as well as cash, which she gave away at each event. Her ninth and final performance was on Tuesday.

The inspiration, Ms. Cho said, was her friend Robin Williams, who committed suicide in August at age 63. When she could not shake her sadness, another comedian friend said, “Don’t mourn Robin — be Robin.”

So many sad stories, so nice to see something positive every now and then.

I am sure this is exactly what Robin Williams would want us to do.
