The power of having a viral video (over 500,000 views in the last week if you count the re-posts) is giving Karen Klein the upper hand.
Before this week, she was only making $15,000 a year and bullied by school bus students. Now, she’s received $500,000 in donations and is concerned that the kids in the video are getting death threats.
What’s even more unbelievable to this 68 year-old, is that she is seen as an activist in the eyes of some. Her mailbox is flooded with e-mails, and yesterday she even went on the Today show.
Some are saying it’s unfair to other people who’ve been publicized and not given any money. I, on the other hand, think that this support is well-deserved. To donate please visit: http://www.indiegogo.com/loveforkarenhklein
