This is good - for his daughter - and possibly starting an organization.

I know these are two different organization but get into this....

Change.org doesn't donate the money raised through its record-breaking George Floyd petition %u2014 and some donors say they feel misled

A petition hosted on Change.org calling for "Justice for George Floyd" is now the site's most-signed petition ever, the company confirmed on Monday, with over 14 million signatures so far.

But Change.org is now facing backlash for prompting users to donate after they sign the petition %u2014 and funneling those donations back to Change.org itself.

This is part of the site's fundraising model: Change.org does not pass along donated funds to petition organizers or to affected parties like Floyd's family, but rather keeps the money and uses it to "circulate" petitions more widely on its own site.

The site says this in the form in smaller print, but none of the donors Business Insider spoke to said they knew that was how the donations were being used, and said they felt duped by vague wording that led them to believe the donations were going to support organizers or Floyd's family %u2014 and that they haven't been able to get refunds.

Yes.  Funeral and burial expenses, mental and grief counseling, lawyer fees, lodging and travel for court proceedings., etc. I'm sure the brother and others quit their jobs and will be dedicating every minute to this.
