A crowdfunding campaign established to help the victims of an attack on a Chabad synagogue near San Diego, California raised more than $25,000 in its first day.

More than 350 people donated some $26,520 toward a goal of $35,000 on GoFundMe, with many donations ranging from $10 to $36.

The donations will “be used to pay for any necessary medical operations for the victims, funeral services, synagogue reparations or anything else the synagogue would need assistance with,” wrote the person who set up the page, Cam N, who identifies himself or herself, writing “I do not worship at the Chabad of Poway, but I belong to another house of worship and seeing a place of prayer attacked horrified me and motivated me to start this campaign.”
