Speaking in front of the home of Gina DeJesus Wednesday afternoon, Cleveland City Councilman Matt Zone announced the Cleveland Courage Fund, an initiative that will see 100 percent of proceeds going to the three women.

Zone announced that the page for the fund was already up on Facebook.
   
The Facebook page has been a bit buried beneath other tidbits of news Wednesday, only gaining around 490 “likes” at the time of this writing. It offers several ways to donate to the rescued women, accepting funds through the Cleveland Foundation here, or by mailing Cleveland Courage Fund, c/o the Cleveland Foundation, 1422 Euclid Ave. Suite 1300, Cleveland, Ohio. 44122.
