Bug Hall Raises Over $20,000 for Sixth Child

More than $20,000 in donations have poured into a crowdfunding campaign for Brandon “Bug” Hall, shattering the initial $2,000 goal by Sunday. Hall, 41, is best known to audiences for his role as Alfalfa in the 1994 film “The Little Rascals.” The funds are intended to cover final expenses before the birth of his sixth child, which is due in less than a month.

Hall has not worked in the entertainment industry for several years. In a 2025 YouTube video, he explained that he left the career because it no longer aligned with his faith. He described himself as a “radical Catholic extremist” and called the decision a “hard realization,” noting that he still loved the work. In January, he told The Daily Mail that he had taken a “vow of poverty” and moved his family to an 80-acre property in Arkansas.

The family’s plan, as outlined by Hall, involves living off the grid and building their own home. Reports indicated that Hall gave away most of his possessions and all of his savings when he adopted this lifestyle. He previously starred in “The Big Green,” “Honey, We Shrunk Ourselves,” “Hercules,” “Charmed,” “Cold Case,” and “CSI: Miami.”

In his GoFundMe post, Hall stated that there was “no other choice” to seek public help. He listed specific bills that were past due, including phone service, propane for the camper, and an unexpected electric hookup service fee. He wrote that the family is “overjoyed” and enjoying their current situation, but he needs assistance to get the last few things “buttoned up” before the baby arrives.

Hall acknowledged that “times are hard for everyone” and said he is “no more deserving than anyone else.” He asked donors for help in three ways: through monetary gifts, by sharing the campaign, or through prayer. He hopes to have everything ready on the Arkansas property and to work until the baby arrives.

Hall has been married to his wife, Jill, since 2017. As of the most recent update on Sunday, the campaign had collected more than $20,000. The goal was originally set at $2,000.

The family is preparing for the birth of the sixth child on the 80-acre property in Arkansas. Hall plans to use the time before the due date to complete final preparations and work on the land.
