A fundraiser set up in honor of slain ICU nurse Alex Pretti, who was shot dead by federal immigration officers last week, has reached more than $1 million in donations.
Sources from local media outlets shared more on the donation, including how one of the richest men also made a massive donation of $10,000, which helped in reaching the target with ease.
