A North Carolina woman has created an online fundraising campaign to help former Alabama Death Row inmate Anthony Ray Hinton get a new start on his life after being freed last week after nearly 30 years of being a condemned man.

Lisa Simonsen, who lives in Huntersville, N.C., (near Charlotte) created the GoFundMe account for Hinton on Sunday.

"Please consider donating to help him start on the next phase of his life," Simonsen writes on the GoFundMe page.

"After reading the news stories about this case I wanted to see if there was anything I could do to help Mr. Hinton," Simonsen writes on the page.
