On Thursday, a Georgia mom who had watched both Baker’s graduation and Burger King heroics, set up a surprise GoFundMe to raise some money for his eventual journey to college, and the $20,000 that was reported to have been raised this week has grown to $187,000, virtually guaranteeing him a doctorate level education at any school he cares to attend.
Additionally, Burger King Foundation presented Baker with a $10,000 scholarship to aid in that pursuit.
