As of Wednesday afternoon, more than 2,300 people have donated to the fundraiser, which has raised more than $111,000. The fundraiser has since gone viral, garnering national and international coverage. The friend who purportedly organized the fundraiser claimed Barajas had lost her limbs because she was infected by the "flesh-eating" bacteria vibrio after eating tilapia purchased from a San Jose supermarket in July. Last week, a GoFundMe campaign was launched to support 40-year-old Laura Barajas. SAN JOSE – Health officials in Santa Clara County have cast doubts on reports that a bacterial infection blamed on fish eaten by a San Jose woman caused her to undergo a quadruple amputation.
