In 22 hours, people have donated $1,384,715 to the Orlando shooting victime....wow

Funds raised on this page will be going directly to the victims and families affected by the horrific shooting at Orlando's Pulse Nightclub. Equality Florida is working with local organizations - who are also helping to raise funds - to ensure the money is distributed properly.

Every penny raised will be distributed directly to the victims and their families.

Thank you for the support!

The LGBTQ community is very protective of itself because so many them, especially older members, have dealt with a hostile, unaccepting society. I wouldn't be surprised if someone like Ellen DeGeneres or Chris Hughes covered most/all of the funeral costs for those who were killed or the hospital bills for the survivors. Even someone like Peter Thiel may assist, albeit anonymously.
