Donations are pouring in to support the victims of the assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump at a recent rally. Tragically, retired firefighter Corey Comperatore lost his life while shielding his family from gunfire, and several others were wounded, with two in critical condition.
A GoFundMe campaign was quickly organized for the victims of this tragic event in Butler, Pennsylvania. Initially set with a goal of $1,000,000, the campaign exceeded expectations by receiving an astounding $1,800,000 in donations within hours of going live. Many generous contributions have come from celebrities and notable political figures, including Kid Rock, Vivek Ramaswamy, Ben Shapiro, and others.
The campaign has been authorized by President Donald Trump himself, with a description stating, “This account has been authorized by President Donald Trump as a place for donations to support the families and supporters wounded or killed in today’s brutal and horrific assassination attempt. Your donations will directly benefit these proud Americans as they grieve and recover. May God bless and unite our nation.”
A separate GoFundMe link has been created specifically for the Comperatore family. Corey Comperatore, a retired firefighter from Buffalo Township, Pennsylvania, died while heroically protecting his wife and daughter. In a touching tribute on Facebook, Comperatore’s daughter, Allyson, shared, “He was the best dad a girl could ever ask for. My sister and I were always taken care of. If you needed him, he would answer your call and do whatever was needed. And if he didn’t know you, he would figure out how.”
Allyson continued with a heartfelt message, revealing how her father acted as a real-life superhero by shielding her and her mother from the bullets. Despite her deep grief, she expressed a strong desire to thank her father for his selfless actions, saying, “I want nothing more than to cry on him and tell him thank you.”
The GoFundMe campaign was initiated to provide support to Allyson Comperatore and her family during this challenging time. A description for the campaign urges people to contribute, stating, “On Saturday night, our dear friend and family member, Allyson, tragically lost her father due to a senseless act at the Trump Rally in Butler. Allyson has been a part of our community since the beginning and is an important member. If you are able to support her and her family during this time, you can make donations at the gym. We also kindly ask you to sign the cards at the front desk.”
