WICHITA, Kan. (AP) — Donations have been pouring in for a Wichita baby who was kidnapped after her mother was shot to death.

The Wichita Eagle reports that a GoFundMe account set up to collect money to bury the mother of the kidnapped Wichita infant is close to meeting its $15,000 goal.

Laura Abarca-Nogueda was shot to death in her home last week. Her 6-day-old baby, Sophia, was reported missing and was recovered a couple days later at a home in Dallas. The baby has been reunited with family.

Her family says any money collected through the crowdfunding effort that’s left over after paying for burial expenses will go to help raise the baby.
