According to his Go Fund Me, Rega's family is asking for support to cover his medical costs and to move the family out of what they call an "unsafe area."

Rega was standing at a school bus stop with his family when he was shot three times last Wednesday.

The family's Go Fund Me has a goal of $50,000. So far, it has raised just over $6,000.
