A website has been set up where visitors can donate money to help with the immediate expenses needed to raise the twins.

She was Dan Green's wife...poor guy.

she also shared some roles with Dan Green,like in Utena(he voiced Souji Mikage,and she was Mrs. Mikage)and in Dai Mahou Touge(she voiced Cute Paya,Dan Green voiced Badass Paya.). I feel bad for Dan Green,he even opened this site http://dangreen.info/ he needs donations for the imediate expenses with the twins.Being a single father won't be easy for him.I think he should move to California to expand his career and getting a better payment.It worked to some other voice-actors from New York,like Crispin Freeman,Sam Riegal and Liam O'Brien

If you want to send your condolences and maybe a token donation, this is the place to go.

And on the risk of sounding tasteless, we fans of his may not be the light orbs but we'll certainly do whatever we can to help inspire him!
