Erika realized she needed help paying for the burial, so she started a GoFundMe campaign with the intention of raising $5,000. She is shocked to learn that over 26,000 people nationwide have contributed over $750,000 to the campaign. In order to guarantee her children’s financial support after her death, Erika intends to utilize the extra money to establish a trust for them.
