The funds will cover the creation, installation, and long-term maintenance of the star. We are coming together as fans, friends, and supporters to honor Aaron Carter’s legacy.”
“Every donation, no matter the size, brings us one step closer,” the GoFundMe’s description continued. “If you’re unable to give, sharing this campaign means just as much. Let’s come together to celebrate Aaron’s life, his music, and the lasting mark he left on so many hearts. Thank you for your love and support.”
