Unfortunately Marlan’s sister was facing some serious health issues which he was helping to fund. However Marlans’ contributions were overshadowed by the massive hospital fees.
Marlan was a guest on the Vlog in which he outreached to Casey’s audience with a GoFundMe campaign. What happened next was recording breaking. Within minutes of uploading , the campaign had reached $10,000. By the end of the day the campaign reached it goal of $125,000.
