Clayborn, a victim in the San Bernardino shooting.

DETROIT — Launch-good, a Detroit based Muslim funding platform, has raised almost $200,000 this week to cover expenses of the California shooting victims’ families.

In just four days, the Muslims United for San Bernardino campaign has raised close to $200,000 from more than 1,000 donors across the country, including in Florida, Michigan, Ohio and Tennessee.

The money will be disbursed through San Bernardino County and the United Way to assist victims’ families with funeral expenses and travel needs.

LaunchGood was started two years ago by Chris Blauvelt, a Detroit resident who converted to Islam three months before the 9/11 terrorist attacks. 

So far, LaunchGood has raised $5 million for 473 projects in 39 countries, with Muslim Americans accounting for 80 percent of the donations.

The campaigns include raising money to help rebuild African American churches burned in Charleston this year and to support students interested in science and technology after the arrest of a Muslim teen in Texas for bringing a clock to school. 

Some of the expenses Muslim Americans raised will go to the stepfather of 27-year-old Sierra Clayborn, one of the victims in San Bernardino.

Her stepfather, Detroit resident Cary Winston Eatmon, didn’t have the expenses to fly to California to attend her funeral.

Clayborn worked as a restaurant inspector in the same department as Syed Farook who, along with his wife Tashfeen Malik, committed the mass shooting last week.

Eatmon raised Clayborn from age 2 to when she entered college. He is still married to her mother, Wendy, and they have an 18-year-old son Winston together. 

Eatmon moved back to Detroit seven years ago when his brother and then his father passed away. He runs his own small business, a video production company.
