Heather Tessman, the half-sister of the Waterbury man held captive at Blake Street home, spent years looking for him after meeting him when he was born.

Donations have poured in from around the globe to help the man, according to a nonprofit which organized a GoFundMe campaign.

A crowdfunding effort has gathered over $100,000 for a Connecticut man who was held captive for over 20 years in his home.
