In almost no time, Megan had jumped onto the family's GoFundMe page with a donation of $8,155, helping them immediately achieve their $16,000 goal. With their goal met, the family has since disabled the page's ability to accept further donations.
The fan who initially reached out to Megan on behalf of Shaniah's family responded to Megan's donation with tremendous gratitude. "I am crying so hard," she wrote. "I will ride for you ntil the day I die."
"I know our friend is up in heaven smiling so hard right now," she continued, thanking Megan for helping the family.
