UPDATE: Donations won't stop for New York bus monitor

Remember my blog last week about the 68-year-old bus monitor from Rochester, New York, who was bullied on the school bus by some punk kids?

Well, her life has taken a 180 degree turn within seven short days.

After numerous television and newspaper interviews, people from across the United States initially came together to raise $5,000 for the woman to take a dream vacation, but now, the grandmother of eight is sitting pretty well with donations that have passed $650,000 and continue to keep growing.

Karen said that she will invest some, but donate the rest to charity.

I hope this woman takes one heck of a vacation when everything is said and done.
