A Florida Air Force veteran has raised over half a million dollars to build President Donald Trump's promised border wall.
Triple amputee Brian Kolfage, 37, created the GoFundMe account on Sunday titled We The People Will Fund The Wall, and in two days has already raised over $600,000 of its $1billion goal.
'It's up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling,' the page reads. 'If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.'
Trump is demanding $5billion to build the southern border wall with Mexico, and is threatening to shut down the government if he can't get the funding.

Purple Heart recipient Brian Kolfage, 37, created the page and said: 'It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling'
The fundraising page claims to have contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all the funds will go, but adds it has 'many very high level contacts already helping'.
'As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today,' the page says, elaborating on Kolfage's history as a Purple Heart Medal recipient.

'Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society,' it continues.
Kolfage says his grandparents immigrated to the US legally, adding, 'they did it the correct way and it's time we uphold our laws and get this wall BUILT!'
'It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling,' the page says.
Meanwhile, President Trump on Wednesday claimed the military would build his border wall and Mexico would pay for it - indirectly under the new trade agreement.

Trump said Wednesday the new trade deal means Mexico will pay for his wall
'Mexico is paying (indirectly) for the Wall through the new USMCA, the replacement for NAFTA! Far more money coming to the U.S. Because of the tremendous dangers at the Border, including large scale criminal and drug inflow, the United States Military will build the Wall!,' he tweeted.
His declaration comes after the White House ditched its demand for $5 billion in funding for the border wall amid negotiations to keep the government open.
Trump also vowed on Wednesday he 'will win on the wall' after the White House signaled it was ditching its demand for $5 billion in funding for his signature issue.
'One way or the other, we will win on the Wall!,' Trump tweeted on Wednesday morning as the clock ticked toward Friday's partial government shutdown.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders said Tuesday the administration's legal team was looking into whether the White House could redirect funds to build the border wall.
'Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of the United States taxpayers,' Kolfage said on the GoFundMe page

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
