GoFundMe campaign for Wall hits $15 million

American Thinker: A GoFundMe fundraising campaign to fund the president’s border wall has raised nearly $16 million in just 6 days. More than 250,000 Americans have donated to the cause. The goal is to raise a billion dollars toward construction of the wall.

Meanwhile, a liberal transgender activist from Texas has started her own GoFundMe page, attempting to raise $100 million in order to purchase “Ladders to get over Trump’s wall.” That campaign is off to a slow start. Since Wednesday, the page has raised about $127,000.

The page is the brainchild of triple amputee Brian Kolfage.

Daily Mail:

The campaign description says in part: ‘It’s time we uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT! It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.’

On Wednesday Charlotte Clymer, a transgender woman and human rights activist from Texas, launched her own fundraising page in response, titled Ladders to Get Over Trump’s Wall.

It’s description says: ‘We saw some folks are raising money for a border wall to keep out our migrant siblings and fellow human beings, who are fleeing violence and persecution and whose tragically-underpaid labor is essential to the US economy.

‘Seems like a bad idea on countless levels for everyone involved. Maybe we should focus on human rights and creating a community that reflects our supposed values.

‘And even though at a rate of $1.7million daily, it would take their fund about 35 years to raise the $21.7billion that Trump’s own Department of Homeland Security says would be needed to build said wall, we wanna make sure ladders are ready to send over to our undocumented friends and help them.’

In just three days that page has raised more than $127,000 toward its $100million goal as of Saturday, with donations made by more than 5,000 people.

Unfortunately, it appears that there will be no way for the money from the GoFundMe page to be used to fund a wall.

CBSNews:

Citizens can mail money as “gifts to the United States,” according to the U.S. Treasury Department. But it’s not clear whether the Department of Homeland Security can accept gifts.  MORE

  1. We The People Will Build The Wall is not a futile gesture. The site is raising an average of $80K an HOUR. In addition to the money — which has gone up about $2MM since yesterday morning — it’s the number of contributions that is raising awareness (and a few eyebrows) on the Leftist mugs who think all the money in the world comes from K Street and big money donors. Well, think again.

    If you can’t or won’t donate, at least sign the petition. It’s free.

  2. The tranny will probably pocket some of the funds. His deviant mentality takes priority over everything.
    As the donations to buy ladders for the wall (an absolutely asinine endeavor, even the sponsors know it’s stupid) slow to a crawl, the weirdo’s thoughts will be about it’s personal “alterations”.

  3. One way that the money can be used is to give it to private property owners (take the feds out of the loop) and have them build their X miles of “The Wall” built to the exact same gov specs;when the feds come to them and say we need your land to build the wall all they have to do is take them on a stroll down to the “The Wall” and say Why?.
    If the feds want an easement for border patrol make them pay a yearly fee.
    Make the land owners sign a contract before they get any money that states that it can only be used for wall construction,there has to be a way that it can work. Just thinking.
