Roughly $2 million in donations have been raised for a two-year-old boy whose parents were killed in Monday\u2019s mass shooting at a July 4 parade in Highland Park, Illinois.<\/span><\/p>\n

The toddler, Aiden McCarthy, whose photo was shared on social media in the aftermath of the shooting, had been found at the scene alone.<\/span><\/p>\n

Parade attendees Dana and Greg Ring told\u00a0<\/span>CBS News<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that they found Aiden with a stranger after the shooting and took him in.<\/span><\/p>\n

The boy was picked up by a detective and reunited with his grandparents on Monday evening. And on Tuesday, authorities confirmed that his parents\u2014Kevin McCarthy, 37, and Irina McCarthy, 35\u2014were\u00a0<\/span>among the seven people killed in the shooting<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Since then, the community launched a GoFundMe<\/a> for the child, and as of Wednesday morning, that campaign has raised nearly $2 million for the newly orphaned child.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Remember this little boy found wandering alone after #HighlandPark<\/a> parade? We\u2019ve just found out why\u2026 both his parents were killed<\/p>\n

A fundraiser has been started for Irina and Kevin McCarthy\u2019s 2-yo son Aiden as he grows up without them<\/p>\n

The fundraiser\u2019s organizer, Irina Colon, wrote on the page, saying, \u201cAiden will be cared for by his loving family and he will have a long road ahead to heal, find stability, and ultimately navigate life as an orphan. He is surrounded by a community of friends and extended family that will embrace him with love, and any means available to ensure he has everything he needs as he grows.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Colon set up the fundraiser with the permission of Aiden\u2019s family and placed the essential details on the page regarding the death of his parents.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

More than 35,000 donations came through the page in less than 24 hours. And as of early Wednesday, the total raised was more than $1.95 million.<\/span><\/p>\n

Jennifer Cooper-Dudovitz, one of the many donors, wrote, \u201cAiden\u2026.There are no words to express how sorry and heartbroken I am. Your life changed in an instant and you don\u2019t even know what\u2019s going on. You will be surrounded by love and I wish you the best life \u2026you did not deserve this.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Four other victims have been identified: Katherine Goldstein, 64; Jacquelyn Sundheim, 63; Stephen Straus, 88; and Nicolas Toledo-Zaragoza, 78.<\/span><\/p>\n

The seventh victim has not yet been identified.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
