Over $120,000 raised for Christina Grimmie's family!
Quote:
Following the fatal shooting of The Voice singer and YouTube star Christina Grimmie, those closest to her in the music industry have come to her family's aid. Over the weekend, Grimmie's manager Brian Teefey, who is also Selena Gomez's stepfather, started a GoFundMe page to raise money, calling Grimmie "like a second daughter to me." The goal was $4,000; it has since exceeded $120,000 in just two days.
Grimmie and Gomez were close friends, according to People. Grimmie also sang backup for Gomez on her We Own the Night Tour. “Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling,” Teefey said in a statement. “I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me. All I wanted to do was assist her in achieving her musical dreams while protecting her from the pitfalls associated with the business. I never could have imagined this horrific event being one of the pitfalls needing to be avoided.” “In Christina’s honor I have created a Go Fund Me page to assist her family in their time of need. As family Mother, Father, and Brother made the ultimate family sacrifice to support Christina on her musical journey. They did nothing but love her and support her as family the best they knew how, the only worry I want them to have at this point is that of recovery.”
It was going towards her funeral, but now Adam Levine has paid for it, it's going towards helping the family move out of their current home. I don't think they can afford it anymore.

They moved from NJ to Los Angeles some time ago to support Christina's career and now they probably will need move back.
I'm pretty sure Selena will make sure Christina's family is doing well after what happened. It won't cost her much & she was one of her close friends.
Just my opinion.
