People all over the world took this small<br \/>\nshow into their hearts and passed on the joy it gave<br \/>\nthem through the many charity fan functions and<br \/>\nparties that were organized in the show&#8217;s name. To<br \/>\ndate, approximately $250,000 has been raised by<br \/>\nRoswell fans, most of it going to help children in<br \/>\nneed and the 9\/11 victims. The Roswell &#8220;Healing Hands&#8221;<br \/>\nquilt, designed and created by fans after 9\/11, was on<br \/>\ndisplay in Washington, D.C. through September 2002<br \/>\nafter an extensive display tour to numerous other<br \/>\nFederal Museums around the United States. The quilt<br \/>\nsent to the NYC Police still hangs in their main<br \/>\noffice as a reminder of the Roswellians world wide who<br \/>\nsent their love, prayers and money to the victims and<br \/>\ntheir families.<\/p>\n<p>On May 14, 2002, Roswell aired for the last time. A<br \/>\ngiant emptiness was felt by millions of people around<br \/>\nthe world as we bid farewell to the town and<br \/>\ncharacters that had come to mean so much to us.<\/p>\n<p>But now we have good news!
