Jenncrabbe, Easiest site to spread the word, reliable, and trustworthyMy family wanted to raise money for my sister's husband and children after my brother-in-law was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer.
We researched several sites and decided that Go Fund Me was the best. At first, we were concerned about the small percentage taken from each donation, but we realized that all of the sites do this but just aren't as up front about it (they have the donors add to their donation to cover the credit card fee). Go Fund Me is easy for me and the donors. It's very easy to share with others and is the most trusted to manage the money raised.
My page has been shared over 3.5k times on Facebook with over 500 donors. Just a few days ago, we received a donation from the Go Fund Me team for $1000. They emailed and said it was part of their 'Give Back' program and said our story touched them. Go Fund Me truly cares about raising money for great causes and I believe we couldn't have done it without them. Nezzers, Amazing Platform for kind souls to help one another“Come together right now.” Love GoFundMe. I have donated previously through Go FundMe and it was a smooth process.
Was glad to be able to come to the aid of a complete stranger! I greatly love paying it forward & that’s exactly what this is all about-supporting & caring for your fellow man-“Love Thy Neighbor.” I just recently had to set one up for my sweet little brother who was terribly injured in a recent car wreck.
It’s nice to know that there are so many caring souls out there & my brother is not forgotten & is loved- even by those he has never met! We are a very blessed society to have such a platform. This has been an overall great experience all around & thanks to the kindness & selflessness of others my brother will be able to get better care & hopefully a stellar rehab for a quicker recovery process! Thank you Go FundMe & all of you Earth Angels for making this possible. I love all of you from the bottom of my heart and beyond!!! Gfyformakingmedothis, WowI never was one to believe that the plight of others could be relieved by an app. When my dad asked for the help of family to support my sister who had a pre-term birth with triplets, I saw the need for help.
Unfortunately I couldn’t commit to financial contribution as I had just lost my job. I decided to take action as a substitute and created an account on GoFundMe. The support we have received is unbelievable.I have been reading stories of other people who need help and my heart wants to help but I can’t right now.
This app is not just about money, it is about restoring faith in the “kindness of strangers”. (Thanks, Blanche Dubois) It is more about the stories we share, the light inside all of us, and the comfort in believing it will all be alright.I’ve never written an app review. GoFundMe is a game-changer!
