A total of 12 GoFundMe campaigns generated $1M+ in 2017-18. I'm not trying to celebrate this too much, because this is still very much an awful tragedy, but it is nice to see the community, country and world rally around this awful situation.
Nearing $1 million, the online fundraiser for the 5-year-old boy who was attacked at Mall of America earlier this month is now one of the most successful GoFundMe campaigns ever.
As of Monday afternoon,the fundraiser for Landen, who continues to receive treatment at Children's Hospital in Minneapolis, has generated $952,000, just $48,000 shy of becoming one of the few fundraisers to reach at least $1 million.
