Brandon “Bug” Hall Seeks Financial Help Ahead of Welcoming Sixth Child.
In times of need, Bug Hall is pleading for assistance. In anticipation of the birth of his and wife Jill's sixth child, The Little Rascals actor started a GoFundMe page nine months after declaring that he had made a "vow of poverty" while living off the grid with his family.
“It's now six years since I self-cancelled, and I have avoided doing one of these in all that time,” on November 5, Hall posted on the fundraiser's page. “I always said this was my choice, and so I didn't want to offload the glorious burden of it unless there was no other choice. Well, here we are.”
The soon-to-be family of eight, who reside in a camper van in Mountain View, Arkansas, "made it onto the new land in record time," but they are "a few materials short of having things working right," the former child star continued.

As acknowledged by Hall (actual name Brandon Hall), “I've fallen a little behind on the few bills we have (phone, propane for the camper, and an unexpected electric hookup service fee).”
Time is not on their side right now, despite the 41-year-old—best known for his role as Alfalfa in the 1994 movie The Little Rascals—emphasizing that his family is "all overjoyed to be where they are" and they're "even enjoying roughing it."
“Baby [No. 6] is less than a month away,” he penned, “and I really need some help getting the last few things buttoned up beforehand.”
“My hope is to finalize everything here over the next two weeks,” the Get a Clue star continued, “so I can take some work until the baby arrives.
However, Hall, who earlier said in a YouTube video from April 2025 that he and his spouse were raising their five children in a "radical Catholic extremist life," stated that he is open to any kind of assistance, not just monetary.
“Times are hard for everyone, and I'm no more deserving than anyone else,” he added, “but I ask in your charity that you help where you can, whether monetarily, by sharing this, or by prayer and sacrifice for the Hall-Barnetts of the Holy Cross.”
Hall's request for help came about a year after he told the Daily Mail that he had made a "vow of poverty," giving up the money he made from his acting profession, which he had gave up in 2020 after being arrested for huffing air duster cans. (He told the Daily Mail he faced no charges.)
“My goal is to maintain a life as free of any need for an income as possible,” in an interview that was published on January 28, he informed the site. “If there's a financial need that comes up, I'll go take some work or do an odd job, for cash to fulfill that need.”
