A GoFundMe created for a Wisconsin man who was shot by police on Sunday afternoon raised more than $1 million in about 24 hours.
The campaign was launched by Julia Jackson late Monday morning.
"Jacob Blake is a loving father of 6 that deserves proper medical attention and legal representation," Jackson wrote. "We are looking to raise funds to supplement the moral support and prayers we have been receiving. These funds will go toward Jacob’s medical bills, legal representation, support for his children and therapy costs."
By Monday afternoon, the campaign had broken the $50,000 mark.
Jackson has continually raised the fundraising goal as donations poured in. By Tuesday afternoon, the goal was set at $2 million.
More than 37,000 people have provided donations to the campaign since it was launched.
