How a Fund Raiser Aimed at $1,500 for Immigrant Families at the Border Netted Over $5 Million

130,000 people responded within three days...

A two-year-old Honduran child cries as her mother is detained near the U.S.-Mexico border. The photo led a California couple to start a Facebook fund-raising page to help immigrant families in Texas.

It all started with a viral photo of a toddler crying as her mother was detained at the border, Julia Jacobs reports on nytimes.com.

Charlotte and Dave Willner saw it on the Internet, like so many other people, and responded by starting a fund-raising page that would rapidly become the largest single fund-raiser in Facebook history.
