Bug Hall GoFundMe — Bug Hall, the actor who played Alfalfa in the 1994 film The Little Rascals, has started a GoFundMe campaign to raise money as he and his wife, Jill, get ready to welcome their sixth child. The fundraiser marks the first time Hall has asked for financial help since he announced a “vow of poverty” nine months earlier.
A Family in Need
In a message posted on the fundraiser page on November 5, Hall explained that he had avoided such requests for six years. He wrote that he had always considered his lifestyle a choice and did not want to burden others with it unless there was no other option. Now, with a baby due in less than a month, he said he needed assistance to finalize things before the birth.
Hall, 41, and his family live in a camper van in Mountain View, Arkansas. He noted that they recently moved onto new land faster than expected but are short on materials to make everything work properly. He also mentioned falling behind on a few bills, including phone service, propane for the camper, and an unexpected electric hookup fee.
Despite the challenges, Hall emphasized that his family is happy with their situation and is even enjoying the rough conditions. He hopes to complete the necessary work over the next two weeks so he can take on some work before the baby arrives.
Not Only Money
Hall made clear that he welcomes any form of support, not just financial contributions. He asked for help through sharing the fundraiser or through prayer and sacrifice. He acknowledged that times are hard for everyone and said he does not consider himself more deserving than anyone else.
The campaign comes nearly a year after Hall explained his “vow of poverty” in a Daily Mail interview published in January. He said he had given up the money he earned from acting, which he quit in 2020 following an arrest for huffing air duster cans. He told the outlet that he faced no charges. His goal, he said, is to live with as little need for income as possible, taking odd jobs for cash when necessary.
In an April 2025 YouTube video, Hall also shared that he and his wife were raising their five children in what he described as a “radical Catholic extremist life.” The family’s off-grid lifestyle has been a central part of their story as they prepare for their sixth child.
