   In regards to your amazing tatto of Bea Arthur, she lives on…

   “Golden Girls” star Bea Arthur’s generosity lives on.

   The actress, who died in April, included a $300,000 donation to New York’s Ali Forney Center, an organization supporting homeless LGBT youth, in her will, leaving center Executive Director Carl Siciliano overwhelmed by her kindness.

   Siciliano said he knew of Arthur’s plan to include the center in her will, but never knew the amount.

   He had been struggling to keep the doors of the shelter open. The organization assists more than 1,000 people each year, providing shelter for those who had to leave home “for being who they are,” Siciliano said.

   “The last year and a half, since the economic crisis started, it’s been really hard to keep this program going,” Siciliano said. “A lot of the foundation and corporate money that we used to get has dried up, and we’ve been growing. Every day, we have about 125 kids a night waiting to get into our housing.”

   But on Tuesday morning, a FedEx carrier delivered a $300,000 check.

   Siciliano said he immediately started to cry. Arthur’s donation couldn’t have come at a better time.
