Most here have probably heard the story about Karen Klein, the NY school bus monitor who was relentlessly taunted and threatened by students on the bus. Well, an internet fundraising campaign that originally set out to get her $5000 dollars for a nice vacation, is quickly approaching $400,000. By the end of the night, it may be up to $500,000. About 19,000 people have donated.

This is wonderful!

3. This money is all being raised to send her on vacation.

What a vacation she is going to have!! Good for her!! She deserves it!!

4. I would imagine it should be a retirement fund now.

One month of interest on that might equal her full yearly salary as a bus monitor of $15,000.

6. Hopefully she gets sound financial advice.
