GoFundMe for Trump’s Wall Raises $16 Million, Becomes No. 2 All-Time

Counter campaign for ladders gets $135,000

A GoFundMe page titled, “We The People Will Fund The Wall,” has raised $16 million out of the $1 billion required for construction as of Dec. 20, 2018 GoFundMe

The GoFundMe seeking to build the U.S.-Mexico border wall reached $16 million on Dec. 23 as a competing campaign raised just $135,000 to buy ladders to climb the wall.

After six days, the pro-wall campaign, “We The People Will Fund The Wall,” exceeded $16 million with more than 264,000 donors. The page, created by triple-amputee Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage, has a goal of $1 billion.
