More than $60,000 has been raised for a woman who left her young children in the car during a job interview.

Shanesha Taylor, 24, a homeless single mother living in Arizona, is facing charges of child abuse for the act. 

From YouCaring:

Taylor said she left the children, who are 2 and 6 months because she was desperate and did not have a baby sitter.

The fundraiser was started by Amanda Bishop, who saw her story and felt compelled to help.

Thoughts on the fundraiser?

Do you think the charges should be dropped/changed?
