A GoFundMe set up for Lisa Lopez-Galvan, a mother of two and co-host of a radio show on KKFI-FM who died from her injuries from last week’s shooting, has raised more than $356,000.

On Friday, Kansas City was introduced to the Reyes sisters, ages 8 and 10, who were both shot following the rally.
The pair, who received a visit from Kansas City Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes and his wife Brittany at the hospital, have since been discharged to continue their recovery at home.
A GoFundMe for the sisters has raised nearly $200,00 in the last four days.
Additionally, a fundraiser was established for Samuel Arellano, a 10-year-old boy who didn't find out he was shot until he got back home from the rally.

Over the weekend, family members of 15-year-old Mireya Nelson established a fundraiser.
Mireya was also hospitalized — she received a visit from the Mahomes', too— from last week's shooting. She has since been discharged to continue recovering at home.
