Tragedy Strikes: GoFundMe Page Set Up for Fallen US Marine's Family

Yesterday morning was a devastating day for many as news spread about the loss of 20-year-old US Marine Rylee McCollum in a terror attack outside the Kabul airport. The young marine, who was just three weeks away from becoming a father, lost his life while helping evacuate American citizens and Afghan allies from Afghanistan.

The news has sent shockwaves across the country, with many rushing to support McCollum's widow, Jiennah, and their unborn child. Two GoFundMe pages have been set up in an effort to raise funds for the family.

One page, organized by Into the Breach Supply Company, is titled 'Rylee McCollum's Child Education Fund' with a goal of providing education and upbringing expenses for McCollum's child. The fund has already exceeded its initial goal of $5,000, raising over $760,000 to date.

Another page, organized by Jill Crayton, McCollum's mother-in-law, is titled 'Love for Gigi' and focuses on supporting Jiennah during this difficult time. This page has also seen an overwhelming response, exceeding its goal of $5,000 with a total of $548,208 raised so far.

President Biden was moved to tears when speaking about McCollum's sacrifice, checking his watch repeatedly as he paid tribute to the young marine. McCollum's family is still reeling from the loss, and these GoFundMe pages are providing a vital lifeline in this time of need.

The funds raised will help support Jiennah and their unborn child, ensuring they have access to the resources needed to build a brighter future. As the nation mourns the loss of this young hero, it is clear that McCollum's sacrifice will not be forgotten.
