GoFundMe for border wall raises more than $2M in just 3 days

A supporter of President Trump’s border wall proposal has started a GoFundMe to help pay for the project — and the fund skyrocketed to more than $2 million on Wednesday night after being live for just three days.
Brian Kolfage, a Trump voter and disabled Iraq War veteran with no connection to the administration, wrote that he set up the page because “President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.”
Trump campaigned on building a “great wall” on the southern border during the 2016 presidential election.
As the end of Trump’s second year in office comes to a close, his administration has not built the wall or secured funds for it — and a budget proposal passed Wednesday by the Senate did not fulfill Trump’s call to provide funds for it.
Kolfage wrote on his fundraising page that if every Trump voter donates $80 to his wall-building campaign, they will raise $5 billion needed to build the border wall.
“Even if we get half, that’s half the wall. We can do this,” Kolfage wrote on the GoFundMe page.

Currently the fund is increasing approximately a qtr. of a mil and hour.
Somebody correct me If I’m wrong in my math but if that rate continues unabated for 15/hrs a day the billion will be met in ~9 months.
Is that right?
That’s my plan. I gave 10% of my intention to see where this goes. I would be happy to increase the amount I contribute as F-U to politicians and globalist.
I’m somewhat shocked that GFM hasn’t determined that this is “hateful” and pulled the campaign down.
By the way, the picture of Brian Kolfage’s family at the bottom of the page is absolutely stunning.
Wow! It will be over 4 million by end of the day easily. Even though it’s far from what is needed, I think it proves that Americans are serious about the wall. I say that is good.
No way. If the $1bil is met and they get 8%....that’s $80 mil gross profit. They would pull Nazi T shirts for that kinda money.
would = wouldn’t
It will find by August 10 as of last night...it is picking up speed.... don’t listen to the mental midgets... there are paid Debbie fowners on this board.
could be over 5mil by end of day at pace its going.
God be with us!
3.8 million in 3 days. With virtually no MSM coverage. Not a national disaster. Basically word of mouth.
I'll bet it will be over 4 million by noon central time.
There was a name in Japanese
Almost 3.9 now...
And three people do it, three, can you imagine, three people walking in
singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and walking out. They may think it’s an
organization. And can you, can you imagine fifty people a day, I said
fifty people a day walking in singin a bar of Alice’s Restaurant and
walking out. And friends they may thinks it’s a movement.

this is such encouragement to see this fundraising effort. I only donated $50. I figure at worst I gave it to a Vet who lost limbs. At best I can donate more, if we get more word that money is going toward actual wall building. Off to work now, but what a great way to start the day!
$3,910,509
After my donation
