Karen Klein, a school bus monitor of Greece, N.Y., depicted being verbally bullied in a video gone viral, may have the last laugh.

By late Wednesday on the fund-raising site indiegogo.com, nearly 1,300 donors had pledged almost $25,000 in a campaign called “Lets Give Karen – The bus monitor – H Klein A Vacation.”

The fund-raising was set up through a reddit.com member, identified as Max Sidorov of Toronto, Canada.

An Indiegogo spokesperson told msnbc.com that the website was working to make sure Klein would get the money raised through its site.
