DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF)- A GoFundMe page supporting a Dallas salon owner reaches at half a million dollars.

The fundraising page supporting Salon A La Mode owner Shelley Luther is at over $500,000. Luther was sentenced to 7 days in jail and ordered to pay a $7,000 fine for opening up her salon amid state Coronavirus restrictions. Luther said she just wanted to feed her kids and help her stylists get back to work.

Texas conservative leaders are rallying behind Luther.

Governor Greg Abbott and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton are among others calling for her release, dalling the sentence an abuse or power and stating jailing a mother trying to support her family wasn’t necessary.

Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick offered to pay her fine or even serve out her sentence under house arrest.

The organizer has currently disabled new donations to the fundraiser. 100% of the money raised will go to Luther.
