(Aurora, IN) - Social media influencer Samuel Weidenhofer has put together an online campaign called "For Your Service - 50 Veterans. 50 States. 50 Days." The fundraiser has reached over a million dollars with over twenty-seven thousand donations. 

Keenan Bank in connection with Samuel Weidenhofer met up with local veteran Franklin “Tim” Foster. Foster is a Marine Veteran who lives in Greendale, Indiana. Tim was nominated to be a part of the "50 Veterans. 50 States" campaign. Keenan Bank started off the video by asking Tim if he could help him buy something at Walmart. When Tim handed him the money, Keenan explained how he didn't need the money. He explained how he was nominated to be a part of "50 Veterans. 50 States." Foster responded with tears, "Out of all of Indiana you chose me." Keenan showed Foster the video from Samuel Weidenhofer explaining the GoFundMe campaign. 

In the video Tim Foster explains how he has a "later stage blood cancer." This has caused a bunch of hospital bills to pile up. He recently got his car and house refinanced to help. Keenan asked Foster if he had to give one message to everyone that supported you, what would it be? Keenan responded with "I wish for nothing but peace in everybody's heart." The video ended with Foster asking Keenan for a hug.
