A diehard Prince fan set up a Gofundme page to beg for donations so she can attend his funeral in Minneapolis.
Prince was found dead in an elevator inside his sprawling Paisley Park compound in Minnesota Thursday.
A cause of death has not yet been established. But hardcore Prince fans don’t care how he died. They only care about his music — and making the pilgrimage to his final resting place.
Finding herself a little short on cash, superfan Meeka Late set up a Gofundme account to beg strangers for $3,000 cash to pay for her trip and other expenses.
“Y’all know I love me some Prince… I just need y’all to help get me to his funeral,” she wrote. “Lord I broke down in Sam’s Club… y’all I was on the floor SangN “Purple Rain”… This man was supposed to sAng “Darling Nikki ” at my wedding….. Lord help me make it through this!”
So far, she has raised $933. But not everyone has been sympathetic toward her.
