GoFundMe Authorized by Trump Raises over $1 Million to Support Hurricane Helene Victims
SUMMARY
A GoFundMe campaign authorized by former President Donald Trump has raised over $1.3 million to support victims of Hurricane Helene, surpassing its initial $1 million goal. Launched to allow MAGA supporters to contribute, the fundraiser aims to provide financial assistance to those most affected by the storm across the Southeastern U.S. Prominent figures such as former Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA), Kid Rock, and UFC President Dana White are among the donors. Trump visited Valdosta, Georgia, on Monday, where he witnessed the severe devastation caused by the hurricane. "Valdosta has been ravaged," Trump said during his speech, highlighting the lack of power, food, and fuel. He noted that his team brought relief supplies for distribution across Georgia and other impacted states, including North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia. As of Monday, over 300,000 customers in North Carolina and 77,000 in Virginia remained without power.
