Bullied Bus Monitor: Fundraising Campaign Closes at $700,000
Max Sidorov was so moved by the story of a bullied New York school bus monitor that he started an online campaign to raise money to send Karen Klein on vacation.
His goal was $5,000. But the campaign had far exceeded that amount when it ended Friday night, raising more than $700,000.
A spokeswoman for the fundraising site Indiegogo said more than 30,000 people from all over the world contributed, with donations coming in from at least 84 countries and all 50 states.
