Wow, George Floyd's GoFundMe is over $6,000,000. We are good people.

It gives me faith that there are enough of us that will not allow those vile elements seeking to tear us apart to win.

I had to edit my heading because it's now surpassed $6M.

The mentoring group Floyd worked with will likely get a nice endowment.
They lost George but should continue easily.
Same with the survivors.

It may be a stupid question...I just don't know what the money buys?

This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.

RIP George Floyd!
