“THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH” – Marlene Sweet sends out a “Thank You” Letter to all the “incredible He-Man fans”

Back on February 3rd, we had initially reported that Marlene Sweet had started a GoFundMe fundraising campaign because her husband Roger Sweet (one of the legendary creators behind the vintage “Masters of the Universe” brand) needed to be entered in a very expensive memory care facility.

Yesterday, we were extremely happy to report that Marlene has exceeded her financial goal of $50,000 (partially due to the recent press Marlene’s plea received.) As of press time today, a wonderful $82,742 has been raised.

Marlene Sweet wanted to thank all of the He-Man fans for their support. She sent us this letter to pass on to you:

"To all the incredible He-Man fans out there -
THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your caring and support for Roger Sweet,
He has always loved that his creation lead to a whole world of fantasy and fun for so many kids,
Growing up - he always wanted to BE a powerful he-man, but instead was a rather good athlete in gymnastics and track and field.  He kept up with staying in shape all his life, until this dementia took over. At 88 years old, he could still do "planking".
Most of us do not fully understand that long-term memory care is not covered by Medicare.
So when this is a need, we are left trying to cover the costs, which are astounding.
Hopefully this will change in the future.
For now, we are SO grateful for all the support from caring fans from all over!!
THANK YOU ALL.
Very Sincerely
Marlene Sweet"

Donations are deeply appreciated by the Sweet family… and it is a way that “Masters of the Universe” fans can give back to a creator of a brand… that has already given so much to us.
