Anthony Borges is a 15-year-old high school student at Stoneman Douglas High School.

During the recent deadly Florida school shooting, Borges helped save 20 students.

He was shot five times as he tried to close and lock a classroom door.

Borges survived, but is still in the hospital with a long recovery ahead of him.

Supporters have raised $750,000 (and counting) for Borges on a GoFundMe page.

The money will help the Borges family support the teen hero through his recovery.

The deadly Florida school shooting claimed the lives of 17 young students and teachers on February 14, but one teen hero helped save the lives of his fellow classmates. Fifteen-year-old Anthony Borges saved 20 lives by barricading a classroom door with his body as the assailant opened fire.

He was shot five times as he tried to lock the classroom door, but survived. Now people have flocked to GoFundMe to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for the young hero.

"Both legs were shot, left upper thigh bone shattered and one bullet went through his back," Borges's father, Royer, wrote on GoFundMe. "He has a long road of recovery ahead of him but he is alive and stable."

As of February 26, donations had reached $589,784 — of the original $500,000 goal.

But by March 24, the day the Parkland students had organized protests and marches around the world, over $755,000 had been raised. The Borges family changed the goal to one million dollars.

One of Borges's teachers, Marilyn Rule, visited him in the hospital on and posted an update to Twitter.

"Please pray for my amazing student Anthony Borges! He is a hero who was shot 5 times last week & has a long recovering ahead," she wrote on Friday.

Rule later tweeted a second time saying she had visited Borges again.

"He is still in need of the worlds prayers," Rule said. "Please keep them coming."

The Broward County Sheriff also visited Borges in the days following the Parkland school massacre, and shared an image from the hospital. The Sheriff's tweet indicated that Borges had a "long road ahead with more surgeries needed."

According to the GoFundMe page, the hundreds of thousands of dollars for Borges has been raised in 22 days by 22,000 different people.

The Stoneman Douglas high schoolers have led the charge for gun reform and other activism initiatives like boycotting the National Rifle Association.
