FORT MYERS, Fla. - The wife of fallen Fort Myers Police Officer Andrew Widman was presented with well more than $50,000 in donations, money raised by various fundraisers throughout Southwest Florida.

Susanna Widman, along with her six-month-old daughter Sylvia, accepted the donations during Tuesday night's Fort Myers City Council meeting.

The checks came from multiple organizations, including the law firm of Goldstein, Buckley Cechman, Rice and Purtz which donated $21,000 through its memorial fund in Widman's name.

The firm says the Memorial Fund will continue to collect money for the Widman family because so many people have requested the account with Preferred Community Bank to stay open.

Herocare also presented the Widman family with a check that totaled nearly $27,000. A majority of the money was raised locally, but Herocare Executive Director Lane Houk, said 400 donations came from at least 16 states across the country.

The Lee County Hundred Club also donated about $15,000 to the Widman family.

Officer Andrew Widman's sacrifice will also be memorialized.

Councilman Michael Flanders presented Susanna with a street sign that read, Widman Way.

Flanders announced while the council still has to go through the public process, he promised the three blocks of Peck Street in front of the Fort Myers Police Department, will soon be renamed Widman Way.

Susanna Widman thanked the community and the organizations that have generously supported, and continue to support her family.

She says the donations and support will fulfill her husband's wish of providing for his three young children, Samuel, Sasha and Sylvia.

She also told the council to the kind of violence that killed her husband cannot happen again in Fort Myers.

One councilman will meet with Governor Charlie Crist in person to present him with a resolution urging him to appoint a special prosecutor or investigator to look into the release of the man who killed Officer Widman.

According to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, Arango was ordered to be deported after serving a five year prison sentence. Due to strained relations between Cuba and the United States, he was never deported.

Federal law forced ICE to release Arango.
