Brandon “Bug” Hall lends a helping hand as he and his wife prepare to welcome their sixth baby.
The 41-year-old former child star started a GoFundMe campaign on Thursday, Nov. 5, to raise funds to cover expenses related to their expanding brood and help finish setting up their new home.
Through the GoFundMe campaign, Hall shared that she was initially hesitant to host a fundraiser, but has now gotten to the point where she feels it is necessary.
“It’s been six years since I self-cancelled, and all that time I’ve avoided doing one of these things. I always said it was my choice, and so I didn’t want to take this amazing burden off my shoulders unless there was no other option. Here we are,” said Hall, best known for her role as Alfalfa.

Hall shared that he and his family worked hard to adjust to their new property in rural Arkansas, but challenges arose.
“We got to the new property in record time, but I’m short on a few supplies to get things going smoothly and I’m a little behind on a few bills we have (phone, propane for the camper, and an unexpected utility service fee),” he explained.
Hall continued: “We’re all very happy with where we are and even enjoy challenging it, but baby number six is less than a month away and I really need help getting the last few things sorted out ahead of time.
The father of five said he wanted to get everything in order before his wife gave birth and wanted to acknowledge that he wasn’t the only one having it tough right now.
“My hope is to finalize everything here within the next two weeks so I can do some work until the baby is born,” she wrote. “Times are difficult for everyone, and I don’t deserve it any more than anyone else, but I ask for your help, to help in any way you can, whether it be monetarily, by sharing this, or by praying and making sacrifices for the Hall-Barnetts of Holy Cross.”
The GoFundMe’s stated goal is set at $2,000. At the time of publication, Hall had received more than $9,000 from 102 donations.
Hall’s campaign follows his arrest in Ohio in April for failure to appear in court, according to multiple reports.
The actor missed a December 31, 2024 court date for a traffic ticket dated October 29, 2024, for driving without liability insurance. He was charged with failure to appear.
In 2020, Hall left Hollywood behind and took a “vow of poverty” to embrace what he calls a “radical Catholic extremist” lifestyle. Daily Mail.
