I wrote him back, the letter titled, “The Cavalry is on the way.”
This photo is the moment Justin received that letter.
I told him to hang on. I told him there was something he should see, something amazing that only theCHIVE is capable of. The next day, we launched a flash campaign that nearly melted the GoFundMe servers.
Justin had dreamed of one cabin, but the Chive Community had other plans. The top comment on Justin’s Chive campaign reads, “If we only make 78k I’ll be disappointed. Go big or go home. Let’s double that shit and give them two cabins.”
The Chivers raised $327,000 in 24 hours, shattering all previous GoFundMe records. Justin would have not one, but two cabins.
Justin had lived to see his mission find wings. He was rushed to the hospital the day the campaign was launched, but would continue his fight for another five months.
