Following YouTuber-led fundraising campaigns to aid victims of a famine in Somalia and an earthquake that ravaged Mexico, the creator Casey Neistat is now raising money for those impacted by the deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history, in which 59 people were killed and 525 were injured in Las Vegas on Sunday.
Neistat is a member of the so-called ‘Love Army’, a creator collective that also comprises Jerome Jarre and Juanpa Zurita -- who helped spearhead the #LoveArmyForSomalia and #LoveArmyMexico campaigns, respectively. At just 20 hours old, #LoveArmyLasVegas has already raised $196,000 of a $1 million goal from more than 7,000 donors. GoFundMe itself contributed $50,000 to the campaign, while Neistat donated $10,000 of his own money.

The 'Love Army' squad -- a faction of digital creators formed by Jerome Jarre last spring that ultimately raised a staggering $2.7 million to help fight a famine in Somalia -- is back in action following an earthquake that rocked Central Mexico last week.
Jarre and Juanpa Zurita, German Garmendia, the actor Ben Stiller, and others are looking to kickstart recovery efforts following the harrowing event, which has killed hundreds of people and left untold infrastructural damage in its wake. “This earthquake tried to push Mexico down, but instead, Mexico is rising,” Zurita writes on a just-launched GoFundMe campaign page dubbed #LoveArmyMexico. The campaign, which he created, has already raised roughly $190,000 of a $500,000 goal in just one day.
