Supporters have raised more than $4 million in under two days to support Charlie Kirk’s widow and young children after his tragic death.
Millions Raised for Charlie Kirk’s Family in Less Than Two Days
A crowdfunding campaign launched for the family of Charlie Kirk has raised an astonishing $4 million in under 48 hours.
The right-wing political commentator and activist was fatally shot on September 10 during a college debate at Utah Valley University. Over 3,000 people were in attendance when Kirk was struck in the neck by a bullet. Despite being rushed to hospital, he was pronounced dead shortly after.
Authorities later confirmed that 22-year-old Tyler Robinson was arrested following a two-day manhunt.
Crowdfunding Goal Nearly Reached
The fundraiser was set up by ALP Pouches, a nicotine pouch company, through the Christian crowdfunding platform GiveSendGo.
The initial goal was $5 million.
Within two days, donations exceeded $4 million.
ALP Pouches themselves pledged $1 million to kickstart the campaign.
“Charlie leaves behind his wife, Erika, and their two young children. As they navigate this unimaginable loss, we want to rally together to provide security and stability for Charlie’s loved ones,” the campaign statement reads.
Tributes and Support
Former President Donald Trump called Kirk a “patriot who devoted his life to God, family, and country”.
Kirk’s widow, Erika, also shared a powerful message, vowing to continue her husband’s mission:
“Charlie was killed because he preached patriotism, faith, and God’s merciful love. I refuse to let his movement die. No one will ever forget my husband’s name, and I will make sure of it.”
Family Legacy
Charlie Kirk leaves behind his wife Erika, a three-year-old daughter and one-year-old son.
The fundraiser organizers have urged supporters to continue donating to ensure the family’s future is secure, describing the campaign as a way to honor Kirk’s legacy and keep his mission alive.
