Ariana Grande‘s brother, Frankie Grande, took to Twitter on Sunday, May 28, to send his prayers to the victims and families affected by the Manchester terror attack in England last week.
“My prayers, thoughts, meditations & strength has been focused on those families and victims affected by the horrific tragedy in Manchester,” the Big Brother alum, 34, wrote. “I echo my sisters sentiment & say we can’t allow hate to propagate hate & fear to propagate fear but rather come together & spread a message of love, unity, & empowerment.”
Frankie also shared a link to a crowdfunding page in support of the affected families, adding, “& so I say, as I have before, shine bright, & when evil comes 2drown out your light, throw shade over your beautiful soul, shine brighter! I love you all so very much and thank you for your strength during this incredibly difficult time.”
