As of Thursday morning, she has already received over $300,000.
'The funds will cover the creation, installation, and long-term maintenance of the star,' Jane Carter Schneck said in a GoFundMe she posted Tuesday.
Carter Schneck said that the fundraiser was a collective effort 'as fans, friends, and supporters to honor Aaron Carter's legacy.'
First Carter's family has to formally nominate the late singer and then get approval from the Hollywood Chamber Of Commerce - which selects about 30 celebrities annually from a large pool of nominees - before he can get his star.
Carter was found dead at 34 in November of 2022 in his bathtub at his home in Lancaster, after consuming Xanax and huffing.

The grieving mother of the late entertainer said that smaller donations or shares of the campaign were meaningful gestures amid the effort 'to celebrate Aaron's life, his music, and the lasting mark he left on so many hearts.'
Carter Schneck on Wednesday told TMZ that she was trying to raise the funds ahead of a May 15 application deadline.
Aaron 'would've loved' having a star on the Southern California landmark, Carter Schneck told the outlet, adding that she and her late son would visit the Walk of Fame during their outings in the area, as well as magic shops.
Carter Schneck told the outlet that she told Aaron when he was 12, 'You're going to be there someday,' a notion he agreed with.
Aaron's brother, 46, and twin sister Angel Carter, 38, are supportive of the effort, their mother said.

He had his biggest commercial success in 2000 with the hit singles Aaron's Party (Come Get It) and I Want Candy.
Carter also had cameos on TV shows such as Lizzie McGuire, Sabrina the Teenage Witch and 7th Heaven.
According to the GoFundMe, other endeavors included 'a top-five finish on Dancing with the Stars' in 2009, and forays into 'stage acting and independent music.'
The statement on the fundraiser declared, 'Aaron Carter's impact on a generation of young fans and his contributions to pop music continue to resonate, securing his legacy as an influential figure in early 2000s entertainment.'
