Knight, Berry, and DeJesus released a video statement on July 9, 2013 thanking the public for their support. An attorney for Berry and DeJesus said that the women "still have a strong desire for privacy" and did not wish to speak to the media about their ordeal.[119][120] The Cleveland Courage Fund is a bank account set up to help the women in their transition to independent life which had collected approximately $1.05 million at the time of the video's release.[119] Before Berry's disappearance, her grandfather had promised to give her a classic Chevrolet Monte Carlo from the year when she was born.
