Here’s Where You Can Donate To The Victims Of The Charlottesville Terror Attack
Go Fund Me accounts have been made in the victims’ honor.
A rally of white supremacists and Nazis resulted in a terror attack by a 20-year-old man, James Alex Fields Jr., when he intentionally sped into a crowd of people who were protesting against the Nazis and white supremacist groups. The attack killed 32-year-old Heather Heyer, and injured 19 other people. Another man, Deandre Harris, was beaten by a group of men in a parking garage.
Both incidents have Go Fund Me Pages to help cover the costs of medical bills and recovery. You can donate to the victims of the car attack here, and to the 20-year-old man beaten by racists here.
