() A Minnesota woman who admitted to using a racial slur against a Black child has received almost $700,000 in donations after starting an online fundraiser.

Shiloh Hendrix identified herself as the woman in a viral video that showed her being confronted by a man, asking if she had called a child the N-word.

Hendrix not only conceded that she had used the term, she repeated the slur to the man filming. Hendrix alleges the child took items from her son’s bag.

According to NBC News, police are investigating the incident that occurred at a playground in Rochester, Minnesota.

Sharmarke Omar, 30, recorded the video and told NBC News that he saw Hendrix call the child of Somali heritage the N-word. Omar said the child has autism and that he knows the boy’s parents, who were supervising their other three children at the time.

On Hendrix’s GiveSendGo fundraising page, she said the child stole from her 18-month-old son’s diaper bag, and has experienced “great turmoil,” along with her family.

Hendrix also said on the site that she needs to relocate, and that her Social Security number, address and phone number had been leaked, along with other personal information.

Thus far, she has raised $680,856.
