## Summary

Brandon “Bug” Hall says he will keep more than $26,000 raised above his GoFundMe target, arguing that he sees the donations as a blessing and did not promise to return any excess. The former child actor says he originally sought $2,000 to help his family through winter after setbacks forced them to move in Arkansas.

Hall says he disabled the fundraiser’s automatic goal increase and planned to close it at $2,000, but a fraud-reporting backlash led GoFundMe to lock the campaign. The platform later cleared it after a Trust and Safety investigation and told him the funds would be transferred within two to five days. He says the extra money could help his family move towards self-sufficiency, including buying farm animals and equipment; he also says his vow of poverty allows him to earn income when needed.
