But by Wednesday morning, the fund had reached $8.6 million from more than 67,000 donations from around the world.  

That’s including $50,000 from the Oakland Raiders and $50,000 from the NFL Foundation. 

The funds will be used for funerals, medical care, transportation and lodging for families, along with help with health care issues.
