Former NFL star Antonio Brown has launched a GoFundMe for the Georgia father who was arrested for leaving his children unattended during his job interview.
On Monday, Brown created the fundraising campaign for 24-year-old Chris Louis, whose story went viral after Augusta authorities arrested him for leaving his three children, ages 1, 6, and 10, in the indoor play area of a McDonald’s while he interviewed for a position. The arrest sparked widespread support for Louis, with many calling for the charges to be dropped.
The story caught Brown’s attention, and he quickly set a goal of raising $50,000 for Louis and his family.
“A dad just trying to find a way to make money for his family. I know he shouldn’t just leave his kids, but some people don’t have the means for babysitting, etc. This GoFundMe is set in place to help this man,” he wrote on the fundraising page.
In a Wednesday tweet, Brown further expressed his support, revealing that Louis and his family had been struggling for months.
“Sometimes people just need some help. Happy to help Chris & his family get a stable life. Spoke to the family… they have been homeless since November trying to make it. Next step will be helping Chris land a job,” he wrote.
