GoFundMe campaign for Trump's border wall may need to issue refunds after raising more than $12 million
The federal government might not be able to utilize the funds raised by Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage even if the GoFundMe page hits its $1 billion target.
With President Donald Trump having a difficult time getting $5 billion for his border wall with Mexico, a US veteran stepped in to give the US president a helping hand.
Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage started a GoFundMe page to crowdfund a part of the expense for the wall, and as of Saturday morning, 234,560 people had donated $14,298,482 toward the campaign, titled "We the People Will Fund the Wall", just a little over five days after the launch of the page.
The campaign aims to raise $1 billion to “uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT!”.
