“I went to Atlanta for all star weekend with $400 only booked a one way because I was waiting on my unemployment to pay my way back but they baited I need help surviving and making back home to New York please anything will help!!!”

So far, the fundraiser, titled “I Need Help Getting Back Home I’m Stuck In ATL,” has raised $569 of the $1,300 goal with 48 contributors, but it has been shared more than 50,000 times.

The fundraiser was later deleted, and she wrote that she was “headed to the bank.” But the campaign continued trending as people wondered why strangers would fund her trip.
