The GoFundMe campaign to support Renee Nicole Good's wife, Rebecca, as well as Good's children amassed more than 38,500 donations in the four days since it was started. The crowdfunder sought $50,000 to support the Good family as they 'grapple with the devastating loss of their wife and mother'. But the campaign raised more than 28 times the requested amount, with one anonymous donor...
