A GoFundMe page started by the sister of George Floyd has raised more than $10 million.
On May 25, 2020, my life shattered as I learned of the tragic passing of my dear brother, George, Floyds sibling, Philonise Floyd, wrote on the page, which was created five days ago.
My family and I watched in absolute horror as the now infamous and horrifying video began to spread quickly throughout social media. What we saw on that tape left us shell shocked; a white Minneapolis police officer kneeling directly on my brothers neck, obstructing his ability to breathe.
As some officers knelt on his neck, other officers participated and watched; no one took any action to save my brothers life. Those officers would continue to brutalize my brother until he died, she wrote.
This fund is established to cover funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lodging and travel for all court proceedings, and to assist our family in the days to come as we continue to seek justice for George, the sister said. A portion of these funds will also go to the Estate of George Floyd for the benefit and care of his children and their educational fund.

it’ll be gone within five years.
You got that right!
but he’s Dead
I sincerely hope after paying for funeral expenses that they donate it all to the re-elect President Trump effort.
Who’s the couple in the background doing The Box Step?
Not very cool or ‘with it’!
They lost a loved one, and they aren’t looting any stores to get the money. More power to them.
And when has that ever stopped a Demon-rat from voting or fund raising???
Doesn't matter. The $10 mil will be "gravy" compared to the settlement with the city. That may last a few more years, but rest assured; relatives that Floyd's family didn't even know they had will be coming out of the woodwork for their cut.
Wonder what percentage of that will go to drugs?
When Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer heard about Antifa setting a house on fire with a child trapped inside they jerked off - they were that turned on.
Her hubby and his mother
As embarrassed as I am to know this; it looks like a 'wife swap' with George Jefferson dancing with Helen Willis in the foreground, while Tom Willis is kickin' it with "Weezy" Jefferson in the background.
“...itll be gone within five years.....”
Yep. And there are a bunch of statistics are out there to prove it too. For example: Most big-time lottery winners end up worse off in 5 years than they were before they ever won it.
Just general household financial management can be a challenge for many normal folks. Waking up one morning to find one’s self as the “Chief Financial Officer” of a $10M enterprise is physically, emotionally and financially devastating.
what do you want me to say?
More free money for the usual suspects.
Makes no difference to me.
Yes! I had forgotten about that mixed couple they had as neighbors. A lot of George’s jokes would go over the husband’s head, them being of different cultures, but his black wife got the jokes and was usually not happy about it.
Shirley, you jest.
Five weeks is more like it.
Yeah, now the family can fire Ben Crump because they won’t need to sue. /s
Seriously, though, wouldn’t it be interesting if the GoFundMe was set up by a fraudster who then absconds with the money?
Donors could be unwittingly funding Antifa.
I personally know of a woman who collected over $5K on GFM, ostensibly for vet bills for a sick cat.
She had the cat put down and spent the money on a tummy tuck.
