Thousands of dollars of donations have poured in for two young locals who died in two separate vehicle-related incidents last week.
One of the GoFundMe fundraisers is still slightly shy of its goal, while the other has surpassed its goal.
As of around 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the GoFundMe page for 24-year-old Leon Garcia, who died when he exited a moving vehicle, has raised a total of $5,270 from 66 donors. It is shy of the $7,000 goal.
It was created Saturday, not long after Garciaâs death on April 14, to help the family with funeral expenses.
He hit his head on the pavement when he exited his motherâs moving car on Stefek Drive, a residential street near South Fort Hood Street.
