As the cost of college and other expenses are beginning to pile up, Joe Smalls has found that he has little room left in his budget for the one thing he loves most, Chipotle burritos. So a hopeful and hungry Smalls decided to throw caution to the wind and launch a GoFundMe campaign for his burrito fund in the hopes that he could raise enough money for just a couple of those delicious Mexican entrees.

However, the results of his campaign stunned him. In just five days, he was able to raise $745.78.

“I earned a substantial amount right of the bat, which was outstanding,” Smalls said. “I never knew it could be so easy to get money, I guess that’s the beauty of GoFundMe.”

While some donors insisted on remaining anonymous, one donor, Charles Whitenberg, a 52 year old accountant from Peoria, Ill., was extremely vocal in his support for Smalls’ cause.

“With the price of college education and music festivals sky-rocketing, kids these days have a lot they have to pay for,” Whitenberg said. “I just wanted Smalls to know that someone cares.”

In response to the tremendous outpour of support he received, Smalls’ faith in humanity has been completely restored, he said.

“At first I thought people would be too lazy to scroll all the way down the online page, you know, past all the GoFundMe campaigns for the homeless, starving and ill,” Smalls said. “But, the generosity of people can really surprise you sometimes and I think that’s what life is all about.”

Despite the success of his burrito campaign, Smalls’ newest GoFundMe campaign, aimed at raising money to go toward funding his E.coli treatments, has only received minor success.
