On Tuesday, the site showed a collection amount of $7,765 by 127 donors. Their listed goal is to raise $100,000.

“I want to thank everyone so far on supporting our beloved Kari,” Lindsay and Larry Rowland said in a statement on the Go Fund Me page. “She is still in ICU but holding on strong. She is a strong woman and we will continue to stand beside her on this time of need and be a support system for her family and friends.”
