Karen Klein - Bullied Bus Monitor - To Donate and Invest $650,000
Nearly $650,000 was donated in the name of Karen Klein, after a video of her getting bullied by middle-school children went viral last week. Congratulations Karen!
She told PEOPLE that she will invest and donate the money.
She said that she wanted to contact all the people who told them that they were bullied like her -- and she wanted to tell them how sorry she was.
Yeah, sorry that they are scarred for life -- and she's scarred but rich! :)
From PEOPLE:
It was just a week ago that Karen Klein was sitting on a bus enduring the teasing and taunts of a group of kids with a grace that wouldn't be recognized until days later, when a video of the incident went viral.Now, thanks to an online fundraising effort, the upstate New York bus monitor, 68, has more than $645,275 (and counting) to her name from people – total strangers, mostly – who saw the video, heard the hurtful words and wanted to help.
"I keep thinking, 'What have I done?' " the Greece Central School District employee said during an in-studio interview on Monday's Today show. "It's like I almost don't feel like I deserve it."
