Wayson Lu served in the Marines since 2015, his sister, Lucy, said on a GoFundMe. Wayson was involved in the gaming world, where he was known as Katsui, she said.
More than $8,900 had been raised on the GoFundMe as of Sunday, Sept. 25.
"My brother deserves a military burial but due to a new law, he may or may not be eligible for one," Lucy writes. "In which case, we, his family, will have to pay for everything out of pocket."
