A total of $17,313,633 had been donated by 284,843 individuals in just 9 days as of late afternoon December 26, to fund part of the border wall. The campaign is a GoFundMe appeal started by U.S. Air Force veteran and triple-amputee Brian Kolfage. His campaign has more information at www.WeFundTheWall.com. A parallel appeal by the American Border Foundation has raised another $191,755 at www.FundTheWall.com.
Attempting to discourage this effort, Democrats and the mainstream news media are arguing that the government is not allowed to accept donations for a specific purpose, Congress would have to vote on it, and β to subtly sow doubts β βit isnβt clearβ how this would work. The surge of popular support undercuts the narrative of open borders activists that the border wall is not popular or that support for Trump is eroding.

I think it's not so much how much money is donated but how many people donate if you could say a million people donated even if they only donated $5 it would still be better than saying we've got 17 million dollars from 250,000 people the statement would be huge so if you have $5 donate

Exactly -- with the 99% certainty that it will be refunded when it doesn't reach the 1 billion dollar threshold, by ... huh! It doesn't have a "completion date" listed anywhere, is this normal for gofundme?
Additionally, the gofundme page shows "999k shares" and I wonder if this, also, is a maximum...
