Not sure if mentioned earlier
The BRAF donation will allow for Corporate Matching dollars to be used. That can't be done if donated to a specific individual. My company will match dollar for dollar up to $5,000.
I encourage everyone to look into this if you work for a larger employer. Most Chemcial /Petroleum plants have matching dollars.

Does it have to be here or do the GoFundMe's count?

The state pays $250,000 to the spouse and $25,000 to any dependent child. The feds pay almost $340,000. This doesn't include any workers comp, life insurance policies, etc. There are other smaller benefits out there.
Like i said before, this is only for line of duty deaths. The system fails severely injured officers that cannot ever return to work.
Donations are really good for everyone, but in my personal opinion donations for a gravely injured officer are more worthy.

That seems like a lot, but it really isn't.
The officers would've easily made that in salary in the next ten years, if not much sooner.
I hope people continue to donate.
