A GoFundMe campaign titled "We The People Will Fund The Wall" has raised more than $400,000 and counting to build President Donald Trump's border wall.
"It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling," according to the campaign page, which is attributed to Air Force veteran Brian Kolfage Jr.
The campaign was created Sunday by a "fundraising team" in Miramar, Florida, according to the campaign page.
It's beginning to gain traction. On Tuesday, White House press secretary Sarah Sanders told Fox News the administration is exploring "different" sources to pay for his proposed wall along the U.S.-Mexican border, according to reports.
The GoFundMe campaign's goal is set at $1 billion.
Trump has demanded $5 billion to pay for the border wall he promised to build during his campaign, according to reports. Lawmakers have until midnight Friday to pass a spending measure or shut down some federal agencies.
“If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall,” Kolfage states on the GoFundMe page. "That equates to roughly $5 billion, even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this."
Belgian Prime Minister Charles Michel has offered his resignation just days after one of his main coalition partners quit in a row over migration.
Mr Michel lost the backing of the nationalist New Flemish Alliance (N-VA) over his support for a UN migration deal signed in Marrakesh last week.
He announced his intention to resign after opposition parties refused to support his minority government.
Mr Michel told King Philippe of his decision late on Tuesday.
The king has yet to announce whether he will accept the resignation.
Belgians were due to go to the polls in May and the king will meet party leaders on Wednesday to decide whether there is any support for early elections.

Mr Michel, 42, took office in October 2014 after forming a right-wing coalition, becoming at 38 the country's youngest prime minister since 1841.
He may stay on as caretaker prime minister until parliament is dissolved in April. He rejected the idea of early elections in a speech to parliament on Tuesday.
Mr Michel had previously defended the Marrakesh migration pact, saying it presented an "opportunity for better European and international co-operation".
