The campaign was initially launched on April 4 but faced a brief removal before being reinstated. In an update posted on April 7, Caldwell clarified his role in the financial process. He mentioned, “I am overseeing the transfer of the funds to our family’s account,” detailing that the funds will address moving expenses and temporary housing costs.
Background Context
The urgency of their fundraising comes after Kendra and her husband, Joseph Duggar, encountered legal troubles. Joseph, aged 31, was arrested on March 18, facing serious charges, including lewd and lascivious behavior involving a minor. Kendra, aged 27, was arrested two days later, facing charges of child endangerment and false imprisonment.
Arrests and Legal Issues
- Joseph Duggar: Arrested on March 18; charged with lewd conduct involving a minor.
- Kendra Duggar: Arrested on March 20; charged with child endangerment and false imprisonment.
