I've been following Caine's cardboard arcade adventures for some time now and it just keeps getting more interesting. At first it was just a lark, getting a big group of people to come out and visit this funny kid and his arcade. Over time it's grown into much more and now he's got one heck of a college fund built up just because of his imagination and how he's touched people. Kudos to all involved.
- earbitscom 15y agoI think on the site is was in excess of $60,000 raised so far. That is just unreal. +1 for the internetz.
- jaredsohn 15y agoAlmost 90K right now and it increased by around $300 from when I started and finished the video. Edit: 3:50 PM Pacific (roughly 1 hour since my previous post) it is at 95K.
- j45 15y agoWow, it was at 80 a few hours ago.
- heyrhett 15y agoI hope that someone helps make sure that this goes into a 529 fund where it can pay for education without being taxed or taken by one of his relatives.
- MattGrommes 15y agoThe team behind the website asked for some help setting up a trust fund to make sure it goes where it's supposed to.
- kellishaver 15y agoAs a parent, I can't imagine how I would feel if a bunch of random internet people had basically taken care of my kid's college education within a few days. I assume a used auto-parts dealer in LA isn't rolling in money. In families like that, things like paying for your kid's college education can be difficult, impossible, or at the very least, stressful and a bit frightening. The outpouring of support for this little boy and his creativity is heart-warming. As a parent, seeing the college fund money pile up it's just completely mind-blowing.
