The Muslim-American community has raised more than $50,000 for the victims of the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting that left at least 11 people dead and six injured.

The ‘Muslims Unite for Pittsburgh Synagogue’ campaign, hosted by the Muslim crowdfunding site LaunchGood, aimed to raise funds to support the shooting victims with funeral expenses and medical bills.

The original goal was to raise $25,000 for the victims and their families, but was increased to $50,000 after just six hours of overwhelming support. That goal was surpassed on Sunday, just one day after it began.

In a campaign organized by @CelebrateMercy & @MPower_Change, the Muslim-American community extends its hands to help the #synagogueshooting victims.

The campaign was launched by Tarek El-Messidi, a Muslim-American speaker and founder of a non-profit organization called CelebrateMercy, which “teaches about the Prophet Muhammad’s life and character to Muslims and the general public.”

This is quite possibly one of the most beautiful gestures of humanity I have known. Thank you. https://t.co/npurdhHRgH — Michael A. Demone (@michaelademone) October 28, 2018
