The original goal was 20. Go fund me allows you to up the goal when the OG was reached. It reached so fast and so many were willing to give, my guess is they just upped it. Money can give his life back but it can help with anything they need to overcome the grief. I lost my father and when we got the insurance money it was just things like knowing "instead of $20 of gas I'll fill the tank" can put your mind in a better place.

Agreed, also if you don't want to talk politics, why mention you're a socialist?

Friends of friends say the owners possibly want to start a family and the business is just a lot.
