For Brian Kolfage, a triple amputee severely wounded serving in the Iraq War and founder of a crowdfunding campaign to build a border wall, it’s not a matter of if Trump’s much-touted and controversial border wall will be built – it’s when. While not achieving the desired $1 billion, the GoFundMe campaign did amass roughly $20.3 million from some 340,000 donors in just a couple weeks. The GoFundMe campaign instantly became a viral sensation, courting both cash and controversy. “Whatever happens, the emergency funding is not going to fund the entire border wall. We think once we start breaking ground it is going to start fundraising itself when people start seeing progress,” Kolfage observed.
