Less than a day after the devastating crash, more than 29,000 individual donors had pushed the total to nearly $2 million, a rapid outpouring that reflected the tragedy’s widespread impact. Donations ranged from as little as $18 to one donation, from a Simon Yakubowitz, of $1,000, but most were less than $100. But the volume of donations made clear the breadth of the tragedy’s impact. Donations and condolences poured in from British Columbia, Quebec, Nova Scotia, the Yukon, North Dakota, Texas and Colombia, to name a few. One famous name checked in from New Jersey: NHL Devils’ coach Ken Daneyko.
