A press release went out this morning announcing a new charity auction being spearheaded by dub actress, ADR writer/director Tiffany Grant. On July 21st, seven year old Ian Hoy was hit by a car and left with many life threatening injuries. In a coma for several weeks, Hoy had a titanium plate inserted in his skull and is currently in rehabilitation. As you can imagine, this has put a huge emotional and financial strain on his family. Staying by his side the entire time, Hoy’s mother has been unable to work leaving the family in a terribly rough patch. A charity auction has been organized on Ebay and begins tomorrow night at 7pm Central (8pm Eastern, 5pm Pacific).
