#GoFundMe page for Jacob Blake surpasses $900,000 in one day

A GoFundMe page for Wisconsin police shooting victim Jacob Blake has raked more than $900,000 in just one day.

The fundraising page, posted on Monday morning — one day after the 29-year-old black man was shot and critically wounded by a white cop in the city of Kenosha — initially had a goal of $250,000 but the target was upped to $1 million on Tuesday as money poured in.

“We are looking to raise funds to supplement the moral support and prayers we have been receiving,” organizer Julia Jackson wrote on the page. “These funds will go toward Jacob’s medical bills, family expenses, legal representation, support for his children, and therapy costs.”

“This is the only official go fund me created by the family of Jacob Blake.”

It is not known what Jackson’s relationship is to Blake and his family.

By midday Tuesday, the page had raised more than $890,000 from more than 31,000 donors.

Blake was shot multiple times by a white cop shortly after 5 p.m. Sunday. His family said he is paralyzed from the waist down, and it is unknown if the injuries are permanent.

The shooting has sparked two nights of violent protests in the city of about 100,000 people, with demonstrators torching buildings and vehicles, and hurling bricks and other objects at police.

Wisconsin Gov. Tony Evers called in 125 National Guard troops after the widespread unrest began on Sunday night.
