The fundraiser gained traction when it was shared by journalist Chris Cillizza on Monday, who described Graham as a friend from college.

‘But if you are, please give what you can to my friend, who has had his entire life change in the space of the last two days.’
As of Monday evening, the fundraiser earned nearly $122,000 for the family.
