The instruments stolen from his classroom in September were worth $2,700. In less than 24 hours, a GoFundMe page King set up to buy new instruments and purchase storage lockers to secure them went well beyond the original $5,000 goal. As of Tuesday afternoon the page had raised $6,835 for the music classroom and a separate page had raised an additional $2,700. The second GoFundMe was set up by Katie Sieracki, a Chicago woman who wanted to help after seeing the original story, and promoted by Raise Your Hand for Illinois Public Education, a statewide advocacy group.
