Tragically necessary. Most Gofundme funds I see are for people’s medical expenses. Then come basic needs, such as rent, food, safety from abuse, childcare. Third most common is why I used it recently: pet health expenses. This worked well - while sure I could have used PayPal, Venmo, or other direct payment solutions, this helps coordinate the efforts, show progress, and give context. I even received a few donations from people I don’t know, and it may have been from the social features. I was able to raise enough to fund most of my cat’s cancer radiation treatment without going broke. That’s great! The tragic part is that conditions are that people need to turn to such a tool for simple survival, since the US doesn’t have much of a social safety net nor universal healthcare. UX works pretty well, though it may help if the user only has one fund, they can default to that. Otherwise, pretty good as an app overall.

Amazing way to be of help. I’m currently raising money for my cancer sick grandma, and let me just say how thankful to God I am for this app. It’s truly a humbling experience, especially when you want to help but can’t do it alone! *Update* I fully raised enough money to send to my grandma and they have closed my account because I’m trying to help someone in a different country…I’m sorry but America was built on immigrants, some were not as fortunate to make it here. That is my grandma, alone with no one to help I thought I could do something but I guess the goodness of it all was an illusion. A hope crushing illusion. I just don’t understand why it’s not supported by the app to help others out of country. My friends and family donated and wanted to support my grandmother, all you had to do was provide a platform. How do you fail to do that? I thought this was an application that would help me and my grandmother but all it did was disappoint. Literally you aren’t doing anything to help the people outside the country, and you’re preventing others who want to do so. That my friends is a false supremacy, caused by a delusion of the little power you gain from a platform. P.S. your “non-supported” countries are the ones that need the most support.

Herman Felisha george. I first thank God. I’m a First timer with using the go fund me.I don’t know all of the inns and outs but I know just the basics that has gotten us by. It has truly been extremely helpful for me and my family. I was really afraid of being let down in my time of need. Was hesitant that it was a scam or they want to charge A large percentage or take most of what you receive. Unfortunately I just don’t have any who was fortunate to be able to help us so my last option was to reach out to this page and it has been very helpful. I’m one who is not use to getting help. I’m use to it and I’m ok with it. I’m the one that always help others and not expecting anything in return. If it wasn’t for this go fund me I would be lost. I would not have had this much help at all guaranteed.

Go Find Me is a God send.. Recently I had a friend that was battling a life ending disease call Renal Amyladosis. Not being able to work, bills piling up and hospital visits made life even worse than just having the disease itself. Go fund me has allowed me to reach many more people to help my friend than I would have been able to by myself. Unfortunately my friend passed away, but the fundraiser has helped his family pay for expenses that goes along with death. It’s really nice to see that people still care for others. Some people say that they don’t want to donate money to a company that takes a percentage of the money, but I understand that the amount is very minimal for the service provided by Go Fund Me. Honestly, a lot of people use that as an excuse to not donate. I’m very thankful to have a platform that helps people. Thank you!

Beyond My Expectations. My son had a horrible accident - a chainsaw to his face. He was facing insurmountable medical bills, loss of income, special dietary needs, etc. I received a suggestion to set up a GoFundMe for him, and after reading all the information provided on how to set it up, service fees, and tax liability, I decided this was what I absolutely needed to do. Everything, from starting, to sharing, to thanking donors, to updating my son's condition, to withdrawing the donation funds, is incredibly easy. That has been nice - I've been able to concentrate on my son and his recuperation. I sincerely hope you are never placed in a situation like ours, but if it happens, GoFundMe is the very best option for getting the word out and receiving help.

Giving/Receiving Heals. This is the first time today that I’ve had to cry for help. So on behalf of myself I’d like to say the following to the creators of GoFundMe. Dear, Go Fund Me Creators I want to take this moment to express my heartfelt gratitude for your generous contribution to help me with my financial situation and everyone else’s hardships and crisis. The kindness and support mean the world to me, and I cannot thank you enough. I want you to know that your platform to allow these donations has not gone unnoticed, and I am truly humbled by the outpouring of support from people, friends, and complete strangers you’ve opened to help me in this difficult situation. In the past, I have been hesitant to ask for help due to my pride and ego, but my journey of recovery has taught me the importance of being honest about my circumstances. I am already overwhelmed by the support I have received, and it is a great comfort to know that there are people out there like you (GoFundMe) in this world who are willing to help those in need. Your kindness has made a significant impact on my life, and I am deeply grateful for it. Once again, thank you from the bottom of my heart for your generosity and support as an application that truly helps those in need of financial assistance. I hope that someday I can repay your kindness in some way, but until then, please know that I will always be grateful for what you have done for me. Sincerely, Chris Driscoll

Worst experience- Death of my Sons Father. Gofundme is a horrible resource to use . They made the death of my husband and sons father even more painful. I asked for their help to raise $5k to lay my son’s father to rest and purchase his headstone. ( Long story short, his family tried to embezzle me out of thousands of dollars plus the gofundme donations for their personal gain- when I refused, they reported the account). I have provided every single document to show I am the one paying for everything and I am the one who is responsible for e expenses but they are making this process more h*ll. They have not tried to wrk with me at all....only threatening me. It only raise less than $3k and they are freezing the funds and threatened to take them back. In addition they charge 2.9% in fees plus .30cent per dollar raised. I do not recommend using them to raise money. Try creating your own fundraising with direct pay so you’ll avoid the fees and headaches. You can’t call no one and they only work thru email so their is no compassion or empathy. Be careful using this place.

Make It Easier To Fund Creative Talented People. Hi. I rated 5 stars because I love the app and I’m so happy for the ones whose lives are terrible because they are getting millions now even if it is pics from the internet or trending politics or photoshopped. Google pixel phones definitely help the fake. Anyways, can you please make it easier for the fun and talented people to be funded and not just the sad stuff? We are people to and we also struggle. Maybe not as bad but a little help would be nice as much attention as we give God praying. I don’t mean to sound mean or rude. It’s just, I see a lot of politics and fake sad things. People using kids to get rich. We need fun and creativity to be funded. Maybe you could make an app just for the creative side to be funded and have this app for the sad tragedies.

Gofundme saving my dogs life. Gofundme has actually helped me 2 tragic incident. The first time was in July 2021 my daughter was tragically murdered in San Diego. I’m a disabled lady on SSI . I needed to take care of her final expenses and they helped me You the public helped me Know my dog Japanese chin was being watched by a friend while I was in the hospital. Somehow she escaped and was hit by a car who left her to die! She was taken to emergency vet where I told she needs orthopedic surgeon on her broken femur!! Because of Gofundme and you the public I was able to afford her pain medication, her X rays and a brace & we are very close to being able to schedule the surgery we still have to raise a little more but we are closer and closer and it will happen!! Thank you god bless there are kind caring people in the world still!!

I JUST CANT LEAVE HER. This program is making life right now possible! My 2 children and I are so grateful! Life gave us a 180 from normal consistent life to a what’s next life. My mom had a stroke and was put on hospice in another state 11 hours away from home. We dropped everything and came. We are homeless but We are staying in a motel, eating fast food, and driving back and forth to the nursing home everyday that is 2 towns away, therefore, we are running out of money. I have no sitter for my kids so I cannot get a job. I offered to help clean rooms at night and wash and fold laundry but it is not allowed. Like I said, this GoFundMe program is making life possible for us right now. Thank you!

I wish I could give 0 stars. I held a fund raiser and raised $320 for an Animal shelter that saved my dogs life. This fund raiser took me months and months just to earn that much money. It was all for nothing. I tried to take out the money and the app kept glitching. It was trying to tell me I already made an account of go fund me when I tried to withdraw the money to donate it. It told me I already had an account under that email that’s impossible. I’ve never used GoFundMe before this and made the email a few months ago. Then I tried doing a different email to withdraw the money and it told me it emailed the sign in thing to the email. I checked and it never did no matter how many times I retried. So not only after working so hard to raise the money and trying to get the app to work. They refunded everything and all the money is gone. I lost everything and now I can’t help the animal shelter after telling them I was gonna donate. I could have saved lives. This made me want to cry my heart sank when I saw. This is so unfair there app wouldn’t work I shouldn’t have to have this happen to me. I would never ever use this app again this is the worst app. I think I have ever used. This just makes me so sad. :(

Accessibility for Laurie. Our campaign was very successful. We have not received our withdrawals yet but we are ready to start our project. (I completed my thank-you notes regularly but worried that they were not received, how would I know?) It was relatively easy to set up and we had an awesome response. I did not know that our donors would be asked to tip but I may have missed that. My skills were a little shaky and I needed help a number of times. That said, we were just thrilled with the results. I hope I did everything right, the funds will be mailed, and we will have my sister all set soon. I have a framed list of all of our donors to hang during the project so we can remember why we were able to do this! It was awesome 💕

Pete’s ascension. I’m beyond satisfied with this platform I send blessing to the creators of go fund me . I couldn’t have done this without this platform no way😊! it’s the best thing I’ve every experienced in getting support with funds in my entire life!! I loved the professional way it allows you to share your dilemma It offers the full support needed in collecting the funds . I love how it helped me in acknowledging all the donors personally or the option to use self created templates that’s excellent ! I love that they had thank you notes that was such a nice feature. I appreciated how they calculated all the funds and gave me up to date alerts with full explanation . I love that I had space to share images ,updates and photos Go find thought of every way to share gratitude Go fund me is simply the Best !!!!! thank you for all of your help to send my husband off properly . I could NOT have done this without Go fund me at all ☺️ Giving thanks to my administrator Lb for suggesting and setting it up for me . I knew I wanted to try Go fund me my emotions were overwhelming me once I asked Lb to assist me she set it all up for me . I was nervous at first to navigate it on my own but this easy clear platform made it so easy . So thank you Go Fund Me for helping me give my family a sweet beautiful memory of love , support,community and trust . You take so little and give so much your service truly is priceless .

Great concept, terrible platform. The app and platform are complete trash despite my love for the concept of crowdfunding. First encountered issues even just trying to set up the fundraiser. Ended up having to use a completely different email address, which is fine, but I learned that through trial and error, not by actually getting an error message. The app constantly displays a total different than the total seen through the shareable link even before the beneficiary withdrew anything. When the beneficiary tried to set up withdrawals she too had to use a different email address, but again she didn’t get an error message telling her to do so—I had to do my own research online, across websites other than GoFundMe. I keep getting emails telling me to set up withdrawals even though I already have, yet when I try to access the withdrawal page of my fundraiser to check into it the app redirects me to a general or starting page where it asks me to start a fundraiser. This is my first and last time using GoFundMe for this purpose.

Great idea. I love the idea of go fund me. The idea that people who are in need can have someplace to ask those in a better position to help out is genius. For people who are looking to donate to something not someone and doesn’t know what or where to do it this is so amazing. My only wish is that there was some way to help get your “message” or “wish” or “fund” more out there and seen than just sharing. For people who don’t have easy access to people or many contacts on social media or real life it can be really difficult to get donations. For example mines been up for a few weeks and I only have two donations. I’m running out of time and thinking I’m going to have to sell literally everything I own. Otherwise this app has really helped so many people. I only wish it was easier to help those that haven’t made much money yet. All the main screens show the “highest donated” pages where they have met or surpassed their goal. What of those that still need money? That’s all I’m saying. Based on my experience.

Ridiculous!!!. I didn’t even get my money for my kids Christmas. They had the wrong routing number and sent it to the wrong bank, it was almost impossible to get a message to them to tell them then they wanted proof I didn’t get it. I gave them that then they said unless I get paperwork from the bank that it was sent to that they can’t help me. Now tell me how I get paperwork from a bank that I can’t even get to?? I call the bank and they say they need a paper from GoFundMe before they can help me. I can’t even figure out how to even tell go fund me that because their customer service is crap you have limited things you can say to a robot then you gotta email a request to talk to the hem and then you get no where at all they don’t help you at all and didn’t care if I got my kid’s Christmas money or not! So I never even got my money that was donated to me by my friends. Don’t use them use cash app atleast they have a customer service phone number geez! And you can easily request money.

Great app, just minor problems. The GoFundMe app is super convenient to have a or use with a fundraiser and or campaign that your hosting or providing funds for. The only issues that I have come across is that sometimes the supporters have left comments with their donations and it doesn’t allow you to read them. Other than that I haven’t had any problems at all. I’m very thankful for the Go Fund Me company as it has helped my family to be able to raise enough money to help cover a portion of the costs for a pancreatic transplant surgery I have to get done in order to help save my life. If it wasn’t for this company I have no idea how I would have been able to get an organized fundraiser like this together and to be able to share it with hundreds of people. I’m more than happy to have them take a portion of my donations to help support their business for helping me and my family.

Terrible Service/ 0 support. I created a fundraiser to help raise money for a family coming to the United states. They are in a really bad situation and legally have the green light to seek refugee status, but need money to do so. GoFundMe did the proper review to ensure the funds I was raising were going to the appropriate place I stated they were for. They questioned some of the costs and had me sign an attestation form. All good and totally understand the need for this. This all took about 2 weeks of going back and forth and ensuring they had all the information they required. I signed an attestation form and they blessed off on the fundraiser. This was 2 weeks ago, and they still will not release the money. I cannot get any response from their “support” link. The gofundme employee I was dealing with just does not respond. I hate to complain, but honestly do not really know what next steps to take. I WOULD NOT recommend using this platform to anyone who was raising money for any cause. Extremely frustrating

Need help line!. I am very happy with my experience with GoFundMe. Honestly, the only reason I didn’t give you 5 stars is because of 1 single problem. That being the fact that there isn’t a way to call and speak to someone if you run into an issue. I had an issue with my password and got locked out for a little while. Of course there is the regular “forgot password”, but for some reason it just wouldn’t work for me causing me to become very frustrated to the point of just giving up for a week or so. Thankfully, when I went back to try again, it worked just fine. HOWEVER, at that point, we had a difficult time setting up withdrawals and never really figured out why except the specifics bank was not one to choose from. Thankfully there was a way to do it manually by just putting in the bank account info. Then at that point, we were told it would take 2-5 business days to transfer the money, which I understand. However, if we had known that a little earlier, we could have done it before the bill we needed to pay came due. Honestly, some of these problems may have been “user error”, but, if I had been able to speak to a person, they could have walked me through it and alleviate my anxiety. Other than these issues, we have been very pleased with the app and the responses received.

Accessibility. I am blind and using voice over mode on my phone to try and donate to a cause. So far I’ve spent about 20 minutes and I’ve gotten nowhere. It appears to be due to an accessibility issue. I went on the website and filled out my name and card information and as soon as I got to the end where it asked for my donation amount I click on the text box and nothing happens. I am unable to include an amount. I clicked on the text box for the amount multiple times, but nothing ever happens. I even downloaded the app and it takes me to the website again to try and donate. I’m not gonna fill out my information multiple times when the website still doesn’t work so unfortunately I am unable to donate. Also, many buttons are unlabeled on the app. So while scrolling through I hear lots of information on the screen that just says the word button. If these accessibility issues could be corrected, that would be great. Thanks

Thankful. Im so thankful for “GoFundMe” I have donated on this site an was happy I could help someone in time of need . I felt it was safe an easy to sign up .But never did I need to do a fundraiser myself my Son moved to New York New York from California. he’s apartment building caught fire an he was devastated so I remembered GoFundMe yes I can help raise money for him to rebuild.I did have to link my bank account because I needed to deposit the funds to an account. It was great it took a few days before before I received the funds so I can transfer to my Son. It was easy to thank people who where kind to donate an show my son how much they cared . The only thing I didn’t like is there’s no person to talk to live . Yes you can chat with people but I prefer old school a real live person to talk to. Im so thankful to GoFundMe

Horrible customer service. We opened an account for fellow employees who were let go due to Covid. We reached our goal in just 5 days and we were ready to get them some $ in time for the holidays. But NO. GoFundMe held our funds. They said update your “story”. Include more about the distribution. We did. No change to our account. They emailed and asked for a form to be filled out. It was (immediately) and sent back same day..... no release. So we tried to call. NO phone number. Anywhere! We tried to live chat. But the link is only available when you can see it..... we’ve never seen it. Just the email option. Which they say they will answer in 1-4 business days. No weekends for you customers. And 4 business days? That’s a week. So here we sit. Waiting. No response. I now email them every day. Nothing. So I’m not sorry I took on this project for others less fortunate but I’m sorry we chose GFM. Maybe they’ll allow us to get the money out in time for Valentine’s Day. They’ve ruined our original plan.

This has given us the opportunity like no other!. Thank you for being available for us! You have given us an easy to use platform to connect with folks all over the country to help make this project happen and make repairs to an old historical cemetery. We had no real way to connect and discover who is out there and interested in the restoration. It is because of this platform folks are joining our project! Friendship are being made and discovering old friends have become possible! In these trying times our project supporters are becoming united over our common project to rebuild a restore a piece of our history and our family’s history. Generations are uniting, love and doing good deeds to help others a reality because of you!

Every week you’re gonna have to fight with them to get the money. This is a great idea, and I desperately needed it… A month ago I was nearly killed, and I am recuperating now in terrible daily pain, I can’t really move, I can’t do anything for myself due to my arm and leg being broken and nine broken ribs, plus a punctured lung, I am hugely stressed out about what my future holds because now I can’t work, and even though the accident was not my fault, there is no one for me to go after financially, because the person who caused the accident died while driving a stolen car. so I am very reliant on the kindness of the donations, given to me through go fund me, and every seven days like clockwork I get a notification that there’s a problem with the bank and all of the donations are being refunded, I spent an hour trying to get through to go fund me a finally get the thing, resolved, and then seven days later it’s the same thing all over again they are supposed to be helping us to get through a trauma, in my case At least this is adding in masa Madera stressed in my life that I don’t need stress! so be advised, while this is a great idea, be prepared to have it backfire on you horrendously all of my donations are frozen, because of some banking error on their end, on their app that they don’t seem motivated to fix..

Shameful Embarrassment. Who are you to decide if a charity or a movement people believe in is acceptable or not? Thieves who claim they will give other people’s money to “approved” charity of their choosing? What an absolute narcissistic control move. Firstly, it is not your money, it is the money of the donors and the supporters who are wishing for good things, offering support, hope, charity and unity, all for something they believe in. Secondly, you don’t get to decide for other people what they should believe in. Not your money! And you are not the arbiters of other people’s beliefs! Shame on you for masquerading as means of connecting people and providing support access to charities and peaceful movements. A sham! You ought to be ashamed of yourselves, crooks, and cronies! What kind of degenerate steals money from the donation box only to turn around and suggest giving it to someone or something else? Those donations should only be given to the intended parties, end of discussion. Just outright dishonest, and false at your very core. I think this would also count as a clear violation of the section of the consumer protection act that highlights what can be considered fraud, based on the contractual expectations between the consumer, and the service provider. If you donated money that was then redirected to a different organization without your clear consent, then there are plenty of grounds here for FRAUD CLAIMS!

It’s never easy to ask for help, thank God for GoFundMe. Due to the pandemic, I lost my job in April 2020. At 61 years old, I’m struggling to find a similar job, since I was the major breadwinner for our family. I took up bike riding to keep in shape. When my 32 year old daughter, Heather, asked to go with me, it broke my heart that I couldn’t grant that request. You see, Heather has Down Syndrome and struggled with riding independently. I started to research tagalong bikes, but when we tried one out, Heather wasn’t able to balance. Next I found a Special Needs Bike Trailer that accommodates an adult. But it was close to a thousand dollars. I looked for funding, and not finding any, someone suggested GoFundMe. It took me over a week to finally set it up, because I’m not used to asking for help. I am brought to tears with every donation. Thank you Go Fund Me and all donors for making a difference in people’s lives.

Appreciate You. I have completed 2 GoFundMe and I’m in the middle of a third. This gives me the opportunity to help someone across the ocean! I’m an American and poor by our government standards. Do I struggle for the bare necessities; like electricity, shelter, indoor bathroom, transportation, food and medical? Not in comparison to my overseas brothers and sisters. I have all that and maybe not fully satisfied with rising prices but to consider being aged and not having Social Security like so many other countries, I’m okay. I’m very grateful to the GoFundMe people for their easy to work App and reasonable prices and I had a little problem recently and was able to call them and talk to a real live professional person that made it work for me.

Easy but. My daughter and I use this for operation food search fundraiser that she does every year. I have use the fundraising tool through operation food search before howeverI can’t see who makes donations real time since they don’t give me access. So I like the control of being able to see how quickly donations are coming in and thank people right away. Plus they make an automatic deposit to operation food search so I don’t have to withdraw any money later and take it to them. Which is also a win for me :-) however I do not like how go fund me asks for money from the people that are donating. Older people don’t understand that you can skip that part and therefore they just want to give me a check. Which is a huge hassle. Go fund me is already taking a portion of my donations so I’m not sure why they need to ask for additional pay. That is why I’m taking off the one star.

It changed my life.. I have been a quadriplegic ever since I broke my neck when I was 17. That was 33 years ago. It has always been my dream that one day I would walk again and I knew that I would, I just didn't know when. Finally my dreams were answered when I found a fitness facility that is solely devoted for people with spinal cord injuries. It's called CORE. It stands for Center of Recovery and Exercise. It is an incredible Center that has done some incredible things for people such as myself. However, it's not exactly cheap. Thankfully, there's a wonderful thing out there called GoFundMe!!! It is such a blessing that it's possible for dreams to be able to come true because of them. I see so many people being blessed and lives being changed because they exist. Thank you GoFundMe.❤️

Charging on each donation. I find it very horrible that a company that’s suppose to fund people take a way such a large amount of money when it comes to transferring. I made a go fund me for my general mangers sick dog who’s his best friend of 9 years with a very expensive disorder. My old dog had the same thing many years ago. Our goal is $9000 and my sister ruined the surprise when she told him she thought it was great we already made over a thousand dollars on go fund me (we work together, that’s how she told him) but I told it was a surprise. I was frustrated already. We had gone past $1000, we actually raised $2033 so I was excited at least since we made a thousand and more on top. I knew go fund me had some fees but it took away $68 leaving us below $2000. I was devastated because pretty much the entire restaurant donated to him and even though we weren’t expecting to hit our goal it was still so nice thinking we’d have $2000 for him. I figured maybe they'd charge $30 but I’m really upset an app like this could charge so much when people are already struggling as it is and you just want to make profit off of it. It’s sick and I wouldn’t recommend using this app:(

Amazing app. I am a veteran of the US Air Force looking to open my own archery shop. Currently I work for Gander Mountain as a firearms supervisor and archery tech. Unfortunately my store will be closing soon and we will all be out of jobs. The local area does not have much in the way of Archery techs or shops. I have decided to take a big leap and open a shop to fill that need with the full support of my wife and 3 kids. With the liquidation of our store I was able to secure much need archery equipment at a good price. Now I need to secure a location for this business. I have a few buildings picked out, but need to come up with the funding to acquire one of them. I am looking to provide a full service shop with a indoor archery range. This app is helping me do that.

Thank you GoFundMe. I am so grateful for this app, it has brought awareness to my fiancé’s fight against stage four colon cancer. My fiancé should not have to worry about all the costs associated with fighting cancer and he shouldn’t have to worry about the details of what insurance does and doesn’t cover. I don’t know what I would do without a platform like this to help us raise awareness and to help us fund the fight. It’s heartbreaking to have a loved one be diagnosed with cancer and it’s horrible not be able to afford paying for all the life saving treatments to fight cancer. Thank God for GoFundMe! I do not know what I would do without it. I know we desperately need it to help us pay for cancer treatments and other cost living with cancer creates. -thank you GoFundMe for everything!

Life saver for Baby Fay’s heart surgery. If it wasn’t for GoFund me , I’m not sure what our family would be going thru right now. Medical Bills were just piling up in spite of medical insurance we were all at a loss of options. Feeling hopeless. It’s hard enough seeing my baby granddaughter just deteriorating in front of our eyes and her parents struggling. All doors quickly closing until a friend said I should do a GoFundMe account for them. I remember thinking, I don’t know anything about that or how to even go about it. She offered to help and said it was not hard to set up. I then started looking into it and it was a God send. Since that day the skies opened up now the family can focus on getting the help they need. We’re still a long way from the goal but working our way through it. It helps emotionally to have some sort of lifeline Within this difficult situation. Setting it up wasn’t hard and you are guided with step by step instructions. Thank you GoFundMe.

Thankful for GoFundMe. We appreciate the help GoFundMe has provided in getting the funds for cremation services for my family member who passed away from her long battle with Cancer. I wish the fees weren’t so high. I feel like there’s a better way they could handle those. People are asking for help because they need the money they are asking for. It’s too bad they couldn’t base those fees off of income levels. My niece provided for her mother and was her caretaker until the very end. Every penny in donations would have helped tremendously. Her mom’s disability check was helping her with rent and she’ll no longer have that help on top of having to pay for a service for her mom and provide for her daughter as a single mother. Hopefully after all of this she’ll be able to get back to working full time again. I’d give 5 stars if it wasn’t for the fees. GoFundMe — maybe there’s a way to base those in the future off of income levels for those who truly have nothing. Also, thank you for being a support at this trying time for our family. It’s appreciated.

Can’t believe they supplied a family with parachutes in a plane crash. That’s how I feel about this organization. My family and I were flailing and they helped us land in a soft safe place and get some relief. I won’t even go into why I’m on the site in detail. I will say that I have had professional treatment from this group - and that includes a lot of patience with me being very emotional some days and not being very professional myself. They are kind, and explain why policies are what they are, and answer any questions you have, big or small. When they say they have expert help and will help you with your page they mean it. I encourage you to read the daily tips, and take advantage of all the written resources that are available. It will truly help you with your fundraising, and you won’t feel as though you are David against Goliath. You’ll feel as though you have a champion. Carol

I’m so grateful.. I’ve never used this platform before but life has been crazy. My litters of kittens all passed around an eye infection and currently half of them have colds. Back to the vet. My vet is really helping, so with Go Fund Me I am optimistic that I can raise enough to get my fur babies healthy. My brother who had everything, recently committed suicide so I’m not working as I go through recovery from my grief. Your gifts have really helped. My brother, Scott was my best friend who incidentally loved my cat family. I had offered him a kitten to help with his depression but was not given the opportunity to put one in his hands. Animals are so therapeutic! Thanks again Go Fund Me Family. BTW, I only to raise about $1,000 not $5,000. I’m trying to change the amount on the app. Blessings to all of you!!

GoFundMe Saved Me!. I’m not one who’s ever been comfortable asking for help….however, when I became homeless I gave an interview which to my surprise went viral, several of my viewers recommended that I start up a GoFundMe account so that they might be able to reach out and assist if anyone so chose to do so. To my great astonishment and with humblest appreciation I not only reached my financial goal but surpassed it nearly doubling my initial specified goal amount. While I am not yet completely out of the proverbial woods, the funding and support I have received from those I know combined with total strangers from all points around the globe, I have found myself affording basic necessities food and even temporary dwellings, thus giving me a new lease on life and the ability to begin to start again. It is my hope that one day I as well as so many others may find a way to finally at long last end this cycle of homelessness. My heartfelt thanks and warmest of wishes to those supporters who donated and most specifically to GoFundMe and its affiliates for providing me with this gift.

A Platform That Matters Greatly. After having supported a number of campaigns friends family and just others that I’ve come across I was always impressed with gofundme as a tool for those who had a cause and wanted to bring that cause to their community whether near or far. Two weeks ago I was shocked to discover that there is a cancer and a battle that lies ahead of me. As a serial entrepreneur and a professor and mentor who is also used crowdfunding to kickstart ventures I stepped back and looked at my situation with cancer and realized there could be no better way to create a community of support and gain support for the battle that lives ahead. I cannot say enough positive things about this platform other than to say thank God it’s here and to thank from the bottom of my heart those who create sustain and grow it.

Posting limitations. Communities page is a joke, you can’t post there but you never see any pages until you search them directly. Should be better organized and show how you can help someone close to you in your city, state, even country. Personally see that other pages are displayed on the community page and not based on relativity or demographics. I get links to pages that aren’t even in this country. I see post for dogs from TikTok at the top of those lists more than I do people. Sad to see that people are directed to pages that have less impact than others may have helping someone in need. Seems like your contending with social existence and popularity than asking to be seen by people who may have seen or heard the story behind your post. Just poorly thought through, I seen a dog raise more money than a death of a loved one or even someone in need of support for medical or housing. Sad to see that people can’t find you unless you post the posts yourself, as well as verified donation pages, so many think it’s a scam and you can’t show truth in your post like media pertaining to your page.

Would not use again. I lost my Mother unexpectedly and I set up a GoFundMe account to cover the expenses. I received a confirmation email stating that my information was correct and deposits would be made only for the day of deposit to happen to receive another email stating the the withdrawal is unsuccessful. I emailed Customer Service and was told that it was only the first withdrawal was unsuccessful but the other withdrawals are fine. I received another email stating that the second withdrawal was unsuccessful as well. I also received another email stating that I would receive another withdrawal amount that totals the amount of the first 2 unsuccessful withdrawals. Meanwhile, the funeral home is on my back about money that I have to wait 2 to 5 business days to receive only to receive an email the day before the deposit stating that the withdrawal is unsuccessful. This has been a terrible experience. GoFundMe charges fees to the donor and to the receiver. However, I’m sure that they have collected their fees while I continue to wait the standard “2-5 business days “ that gets reset every 2-5 business days when it’s time to receive the money

Easy and hard. I’m not going to lie about what’s going on in my life to get people to help me out. I put my story in there as truthful as possible. I did updates. I don’t know what else to do. I did not get a lot of traffic no matter how many times I shared, but I guess it’s just the circle of people around me or people that I’ve actually seen it I wish that gofundme had an automatic share button where they know where to share and automatically share for us in these platforms because right now we’re going through a lot and begging is not my thing I’m socially awkward and in need of help but I don’t know how to ask for it gofundme should make it easier to share stories because I’m not gonna lie. There should be a good amount of people that are willing to help somebody who doesn’t do drugs, who is not dead who legitimately lost their job I can’t make it. But I wish the gofundme had that opportunity that not only do you use their platform but also that they will help you share they get a fee. I wish they had a better way of sharing because right now I put my go fund me to help me save my apartment and the papers are going to be on the door very soon. And it’s so sad.

An easy platform for fundraising. This app is user-friendly with details that enhance the experience. For instance, updates with photos help to communicate to your audience. It is a little challenging at first to figure out the differences between sharing tools and it doesn’t manage to whom you have or haven’t sent the link. I received messages that I hadn’t shared on Facebook for days, when updates actually go to Facebook. Also, videos are challenging because you can’t link a previously shot one. The fee is reasonable at 3% with a 30 cent charge per transaction. The withdrawal process is very simple and once established, continues without updating. And there is a thank you template that once written can be used and adapted again and again. So while there are a few kinks, the overall system is brilliant and helpful toward the intended purpose.

Hope when everything seems hopeless. I started a GoFundme campaign to help with the huge financial burden of my dog’s cancer surgery and possibly upcoming chemotherapy. I had a freak accident last year, so am still paying off medical bills, so when my boy was diagnosed with cancer 2 weeks ago, my world crumbled. The emotional toll was extreme, but when I started getting quotes for the surgery and chemo, I melted down. I didn’t know how to manage it all financially. Until I remembered this site. It took the financial burden off the table. So easy to set up, manage, deposits started coming within days and I was able to pay for the surgery. We have a long road ahead, but that God for GoFundme, that provided help and hope when everything seemed hopeless! 🙏🙏

Charles Steff Powell. This is out standing site when I saw it over a year ago it looked appealing however I thought I would never have to use it actually I was going to use it for my tenant Association and then my emergency disaster team but to see how outstanding this site really is I highly recommend it to anyone weather is for medical personal assistance with their own finances of losing a job that this site is a asset when properly used I hope no one never takes a vantage of it that the site would have to be shut down I believe that this site will assist many people from around the world who are in need of assistance Thank you go fund me for your assistance in helping with the funeral arrangements for Charles Steff Powell On the behalf of the family Maria Forbes thank you as well

Best Service Ever!. I found myself in a very difficult situation with a housefire! Go fund me enabled me to reach people to get the help that I desperately need! Not only the financial aspect of it. But the kind outpouring of good wishes and support from my neighbors and strangers that I’ve never met. Without a service like GoFundMe. I would’ve never been able to reach anyone for this kind of help! Most of my friends and relatives have passed. My circle of friends and family have shrank, to the point where almost no one is left to help me, in a time of crisis like this. So I am forever grateful, for the service and the good that can come out of it, not only for me, but for the many others that have come before me, and will come after me! So many thanks to the builders and the staff behind go fund me! I am forever, grateful that this service exists!

My Saving Grace. Honestly, it was hard for me to start a campaign on GoFundMe because I felt inadequate having to ask friends and family for money. But once I committed and started my campaign my circle of friends and family thanked me for giving them a way to help. Everyone also supported me emotionally and several people gave effective pep talks. GoFundMe has a place where friends can write a note to me after they contribute which is nice. Several friends wrote supportive messages there. I had a major neck surgery and the next day major spine surgery. The recovery time is 3 months. I met about 70% of my GoFundMe goal and the donations were invaluable. They paid for petsitter’s, IV antibiotic infusion programs and caregivers that came to my home to make meals, help with light housework, do laundry snd double-check my medication schedule. I was able to concentrate on healing. The GoFundMe app is easy to use. I highly recommend GoFundMe!

Life Changing Experience. This was my first experience using GoFundMe as an organizer. I’ll speak first to the process of fundraising. GoFundMe has made it very easy to fundraise by providing great informational tools to help you along the way. Though I found it to be quite overwhelming, GoFundMe had a resource available to answer all my questions; so I simply followed their instructions which made the process seamless. Now onto the experience. GoFundMe created a very humbling environment for our family during this very difficult time in our lives. The amount of support, encouragement, and love from those we didn’t even know was such a blessing to have. The GoFundMe community was pleasant to have. I would recommend using GoFundMe for your fundraising needs.

Helpful support staff. I kept receiving an error message during the publishing process and had to contact customer support. The chat bot tried, but they do better with common issues and mine was a one-off. Eventually, I was connected with Dylan who not only solved my publishing problems, but who also made an honest, compassionate and very human connection. His caring comments during my time of crisis actually brought me to tears. I was feeling unworthy, afraid and incompetent for needing help and somewhere deep within I was expecting to be judged. What Dylan’s act of kindness meant to me in that instant, he can never know. I want to thank him and to thank the GoFundMe management team for staffing with people like him.

Wow. I 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!

My GoFundMe Campaign. My campaign was set up For me, by my sister. At first I was ambivalent and did not want to do it. But as the days pass by and the bills keep coming in, I knew it had to be a good option. Actually, my only option. I will say that it has humbled me so much to see my family, my friends and my clients help me out through this difficult time. I have been disabled and unable to work for 104 days. I am self-employed. If I don’t work I don’t get paid. I just found out I need to have a second surgery. This will put me out for another 6 to 8 weeks. Without this GoFundMe account, I would not have been able to pay my rent, my credit card bills, and all of the incoming medical bills. I am so grateful. Sincerely, Gina Hanusa

App glitches. I thought going with the biggest fundraising site would mean everything was easier. But my app is constantly glitching, I can't scroll all the way up sometimes, I can't find the back arrow sometimes, but most importantly I CAN'T ENTER BANK DETAILS. It just keeps asking to verify my email and won't go any further. And the same thing happens on desktop. Not a fan.

Amazing platform. This amazing platform has allowed me to make my fundraiser and link my bank account to get payouts. They only take a small percentage off of donations for running costs which I’m happy for them to do. Thanks GoFundMe!

Go fund me page to save little Alejandros leg. It’s overwhelming to see how much everyone has been willing to help us get medical help for our son. Go fund me has has been key as was easy to set up and maintain and helped us get much closer to what seemed an unreachable goal. Thank you go fund me!

Raising funds for Fiji. Thanks go fund me for making it possible. Really happy with the ease of it all. And was very encouraging and personal When your PR team reached out showing interest In the current situation for our beautiful South Pacific neighbours. 😷🙏👏👍

Unbelievable - such a valuable tool. I was totally wiped out in a cycling accident that required extensive surgery and rehab. I’m amazed at the financial support I received towards my medical costs. Even from people who I don’t know but who wanted to be a part of and invest in my recovery. Very grateful for this platform that allows people to invest into a cause they are passionate about.

GoFundMe. Great app, works efficiently. Wish the money they took from each donation wasn’t as large. A $1 surcharge I could understand but $2.50 every time takes a lot of money away from the total. For example if you’ve made $145, but then go to bank transfer the money, it’s only $140. To GoFundMe $5 wouldn’t matter that much, but to the individual creating the fundraiser, every cent counts.

ANONYMOUS, means ANONYMOUS, not permission to share personal data!!!. I asked to remain anonymous, but you sent my personal details to the fund raiser, do you have any concept of privacy? do you share/sell everyone’s contact details without a care for the people you hurt! Privacy it privacy; anonymous means nobody knows who you are! Bunch of tossers!!! I will never, ever, ever donate again because you are more interested in making money instead of protecting the privacy of people. I hope apple deletes your app until such time as you look up the dictionary for ANONYMOUS and implement it correctly!

Don’t know what I’d do without you. My dog needs help and without GoFundMe I wouldn’t be able to raise the funds needed to get his surgery. The site has a few issues where it could be navigated from the back end easier but that’s a minor issue that can be overlooked considering the greater good the site provides. Thank you Go Fund Me.

It won’t load photos and work. I’ve tried to load photos and click save and the app won’t work. It won’t allow me to set up the campaign! Can you help me please I can’t wait to use it and help create

Excellent way to reach many. This platform has been a literal lifesaver for my brothers family and nephew. I am so grateful for the ability to use this to reach many.

So easy to use. This is the easiest app to use!!!! It has editing abilities, notifications and much much more! When someone donates it pops up so you can thank that person straight away which makes you feel amazing! Go fund me is just an overall amazing app to use and get charity funding!

Thank you. After the bushfires we were left with so many animals needing a home and care. Without this platform we wouldn’t have been able to keep going and help them. Today we are a registered charity and still just surviving on donations. Thank you for this option to get the help we need.💚

Review. It is great way to many people but most people complain of being charge high fees. Which is hard to understand why they are being charged to help someone in need and the person they are will is also being charged to withdraw the money. Seem like a rip off to charge the donors and also charge the receiver of the fund. They shouldn’t be charged and the receiver get charge one off fees regardless of the amount donated is say a percentage of the whole amount.

Untrustworthy Platform. Given that GoFundMe has shown itself to be completely biased against the interests of everyday people, and steals the money collected from causes that have very widespread support from those people, while being happy to support violent groups which they agree with, I am deleting their app from my phone and will no longer support any cause that uses their platform.

Life Saving For Baby Geslyns Heart. Such a fantastic tool for family, friends & friends of friends to help save lives. If we can raise enough money for this little girl and the surgery is successful then everyone involved has saved this little girls life.

Great platform. Go fund me has been a very effective fundraising platform for me. I set it up to raise funds on behalf of two sisters who are very close to my family to help them repatriate their brother’s body. With the right network you can achieve your target very quickly 5. We raised 90% of our funds within 3 days of setting up the go fund me page. Definitely recommended for a good course

Wonderful. To use this platform to support a memorial donation has made a massive impact on the family. We hit our goal in three days, and knowing all the funds go to the cause is amazing. Thank you for your great service

Thankful. GoFundMe is amazing! The process to set up your fundraiser is simple and effective and having the fees taken out before it hits your account is good too. Having the app is great too where it’s easy to check on your progress and edit the fundraiser at any time also.

A light in the darkest space. Thank you so much for this wonderful platform. During hard times we all pull together & our family is so appreciative of every kind soul that has donated.

Positive feedback Gofundme. Gofundme is amazing, so much help and many tips on how to better your fundraising efforts. Without a platform like this so many people would never be able to get the extra help or support they need!

My one complaint so far:. I find a little... unfair that only big campaigns are promoted on the site and app, it doesn’t give any exposure to new or smaller “less important” campaigns. You should promote new and popular ones, not just popular, because it isn’t helpful, especially when people don’t know a lot of people to help.

Thank you!. As very grateful recipients of a fundraiser organised by a friend to help our family through a tragic and very difficult time, we’d like to thank everyone involved in providing access to such valuable support. It is making a huge difference

A few hugs, but overall a great user experience.. We have experienced a few bugs with providing updates to donors and the dashboard updating totals donated but all in all, the app has been easy to use and efficient. Initial challenges linking bank accounts but once bugs were resolved, it was no issue.

Mearing Muster. GoFund Me has been an extraordinary experience... the ease of setting it up and updating to everyone who has donated and the ability to thank each and every person ... GoFundMe make it easy the best choice I have ever made!

Great platform to get help , very straightforward. I never thought that I will receive so much support on this platform. This is amazing and definitely recommend this for anyone who is in need of financial support. From yesterday, I have been logged out of this app and I have to sign in again by deleting the app and reinstalling it again as the app turns white.

Can’t even get in. I created a fundraiser for my sister who is dying in ICU right now and I can’t even get in to check the page or thank anyone for donating( won’t take long as me and 1 other person have donated) says I have the wrong email when i literally used the same email I created the fundraiser with. Even trying to get to speak to customer service is not happening as all these platforms use bots now that are completely useless. I want to talk to REAL PEOPLE

Marasco family fund. I would like to commend the go fund me page organisers. This has been very easy to set up and manage and it gets instant results. It has been a lifesaver for my particular fund allowing a devastated family to bury their beautiful wife and mother at such a horrible time. Regards Helena

Thanks GoFundMe. I used this platform to raise money for a friend who really needed and can’t afford a wheelchair and harness for the chair. GoFundMe made raising this money so so easy! What a blessing. No fuss and easy to use including facilitating sending thank you’s to each donor.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!. I love this fundraising platform. I’ve used others but found GoFundMe to be easy, efficient, affordable and I love the app. It makes thanking donors, doing updates and sharing to socials a breeze. The money pops into my account every week to distribute. I’ve raised over $5,000 for cancer treatment for a boy in India and it truely has made a huge difference to his life. GoFundMe made this happen. Thank you!

Saving my eyesight. I set up my GoFundMe late last night yes last night and I am totally amazed by the generosity and support of my friends and family. Now by the way it’s going I shouldn’t lose my drivers license and independent’s. Thank you Thank you GoFundMe

Easy set up. Never done this before. So it was great and grateful for the easy start. I have limited internet so am not sure whether it is me or the website but updates and some pages never update or complete.

Love it but wish it had more payment options. So easy to use in every way so far but I do think it is a shame that there is only 1 payment option and that is by debit or credit card. I think we would actually lose a number of donations due to this. Needs paypal or a recurring direct debit function even, for people who want to donate but can't donate a lump sum. Thank you though this app is great

Amazing platform.. Thank you Go Fund Me for providing platform for concerted acts of kindness and generosity. Ultimately, the work we do is to help those who are suffering and are less fortunate than we are. Go Fund Me will inspire thousands across the world to reach out to those in desperate need. Well done.

Abe effective tool in times of challenge and heartache. GoFundMe is an effective tool in times of challenge and heartache. It was easy for a third party to set up on my behalf when I was ill and the funds were transferred quickly into my account. It was easy to communicate to friends and family and anonymous diners to say thank you for being part of the journey.

Loses a star for accessibility. GoFundMe helped raise money I needed while disabled - which is great! - but the lack of a landscape mode for iPad makes disabled accessibility for the app much more difficult! To type I have to rest the iPad on its stand (which is landscape) and use my few working fingers. Given how many fundraisers must be for medical needs, accessibility features like this seem like a necessity.

Great for people who have lost asset!. Life throws things as us! But sometimes it’s a chapter change. Sometimes it a huge Change. It can be a huge loss! Some will lose everything! And this app makes the human community show you.. that we are all caring! That we are all someone’s children! And we all want to be loved, and supported! This app has a huge support towards that when it comes to financial problems it will be the love return! Thank you for this! Thank you for connecting the people!

GO FUND ME. This is the fist time I’ve been involved with a Go Fund Me page. My sister wanted to do it for me & we set it up together. It was pretty straight forward and I’m impressed with how easy it is to use it & navigate the different aspects of it. Easy to check donors & say thank you. It has been fantastic that friends in NZ are able to donate directly. I have a lot over there!! That was fantastic! It is a very humbling experience experiencing personally people’s generous hearts. With so much sadness & stress people are experiencing around the world, I am extremely thankful.

Ongoing problems with the ap. The ap worked fine for ages but now for the past few months if I try to view my list of donors, or write an update I just get a spinning circle or a "we've run into a problem" error message. I've deleted and reinstalled the ap, and ensured any updates are run asap. It's a pain as I can see my total has changed so I have donors that I can't view and thank. It makes me feel rude to my donors.

Best Platform. This is my first time doing anything like this. I have to say it was easy to get started and I found the process swift and straight forward. Thank you for creating this platform to really make a difference!

Amazing response and support. The whole family is amazed with the response and support, not only from family and friends, but from total strangers giving from their heart. Our heartfelt thanks to all!!!

It’s so easy to set up and manage.. Easy set up, easy to manage, share and thank people. I’ve not tried to withdraw any funds as yet though. It’s a fantastic platform to raise cash, however the fees are a bit excessive.

Chris. Thank you for allowing me to express my concern on the law’s immigration are imposing on returning residents and Australian family’s. I feel I have a voice and help me gather the funds in our next stage of courts. Thank you

My Book Go Live. A wonderful platform and simple to work with. Very straightforward. Grateful to all their team and people who work hard to make so many projects come true.

Speechless. Something i never expected was to need to ask help in such a way. But our friends are desperate and withinthe first day lone we have donations..i'm just speechless at such kindness from strangers to us 😭nor is it like me to leave reviews but i really commend this tool. And all the kind souls going through the campaigns and donating; not just to ours. Ya'll amazing!

Great way to raise money.. Koalas of Raymond Island is a ‘Not for Profit’, volunteer run organisation dependant on donations and fundraising to cover all the costs of vets, medical, equipment as well as building enclosures, pens and a treatment room. Gofundme is a safe, secure way for people to support us and our work to rescue,care and rehabilitation sick, injured and orphaned koalas.

Amazing app. Fantastic app for fundraising. Love all the features, easy to use and set up. Only thing I would ask to improve is the fundraiser photo option. It’s only landscape and quite narrow. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Absolutely amazing!!. I can’t thank go fund me enough for just being there to help me raise money for my nan who’s house burnt down and she was left with nothing at 82 years old. I don’t know what we would’ve done without this platform. Thank you so much, such an amazing organisation. Thanks to go fund me during this horrific time we can see a little light at the end of the tunnel!! 5 stars all the way!

Love for Ingrid fundraiser. We have fortunately never had to ask for help before and we are so humbled by the incredible kindness and generosity shown to this small family with a very sad problem. Too often we are inundated with the news of the worst side of humanity, but it is small forums like this that we are reminded of both the enduring strength of the human spirit, but also the depth of kindness, selflessness and love that can be showered on you by strangers when you most need a hand to hold. We open our arms and embrace everyone who has been so incredibly kind to us and envelop you all in the biggest hug, pets included, full of gratitude, and warmth for the amazing people you are. X💕❤️

It’s so wonderful to know that people care and what a great idea to make my life easier. Putting my hand up for help it’s not something I would usually do However without the kindness of friends family & Angles both known & unknown to me I honestly could not get the medication & treatment I need to survive #I want to live this would be great to be pain free

Frustrated. I’ve tried for more than three weeks to contact GFM to get details sorted to be able to withdraw money from our GFM account. I still haven’t got this problem sorted, I still CANNOT access any money. GFM doesn’t have ANY phone contact!! Only email which they have not replied to me in over a week even though I am emailing them every day asking for help. I am EXTREMELY frustrated as we are desperately needing some financial help.

Terrible service. Stole 9.0 million from the freedom convoy. If you want your $ stolen use these crooks!

Worst app. Scam company donation don’t go where it’s supposed to go

SCAM. Supports racism and riots!

Funds don’t end up where they are supposed to. Horrible company, steals from truckers and redirects funds to organizations not intended by the original donators. Hopefully, you will pay the full price in both your reputation and your bottom line for what you have done. Immoral weasels, scummy hypocrites, never ever use this service to send any money, even if the cause seems worthy. Find a workaround.

Theft. They got caught stealing and we’re facing lawsuits so they refunded the money. Apple should remove this app.

They are against freedom. Freedom of speech and freedom to protest should not be hindered, period. And above all, the funding to such protests against tyrannical governments should not be hindered. GoFundMe giving into political pressure instead of growing a spine and standing for what’s right, decided to be on the wrong side of history and cancel the most important fundraiser of recent times. Shame on all of you.

Thank you.. Thank you for exposing yourselves. Crypto and blockchain will put scoundrels who run this company will be obsolete soon.

Worst experience ever. Don’t recommend to anyone.. I have only tried to be fair with people I deal with and go fund me is the opposite of fair.

Political Censorship. You shouldn’t block a campaign like the one from Canadian truckers due to political bias. They have legitimate support from people wishing to fund a cause like this one. It’s not on you to decide which causes should get support

Not working properly. This app is not allowing me to complete my campaign. It's telling me I'm in an invalid Canadian province. How?

Do not trust GoFundMe. Did you really think you would just take 9 million dollars and give it away to charities of your choice. Did you not pass that brilliant idea passed your head of marketing and a lawyer ? I hope the AG’s of the states investigating you continue to do so to see if charges are warranted. I will never donate money to anyone who uses your service.

Political censorship. Very disappointed to learn that Go Fund Me is a puppet of Canadian politics.

Garbage.. Go fund me is a thieving organization . Stay out of politics.

Stealing money from Canadians. Boycott this company. They reap thousands in interest while holding back money that isn’t theirs. Not to be trusted. Run by globalists and elitists. Zero stars.

Would be a big fat Zero “0” stars.. Bunch of criminals you are!!!

Support their political beliefs only. Censored

Horrible app. GoFundMe should be disappointed in themselves for the quality of this app. Considering the amount of money they require donors to pay and the percentage they take from people who are fundraising they really should have a better quality app. It’s completely unreliable, if I personalize a thank you note it will sometimes send it to a different donor and I have to reach out and apologize for addressing the wrong person. They don’t have spell check on the thank you notes, it doesn’t always show whether a thank you was sent or not and I can’t clear the notifications even if I’ve opened them all. Overall it’s a difficult app to use and is not user friendly by any means. I’m very disappointed they haven’t invested more into making their platform more user friendly.

Overtly biased against working class. Any funding that supports anti-elite programs, will be shut down unfairly.

Horrible service!. Go fund me are hypocritical in terms of not being of service to the convoy 2022! I will never use your services again.

Never again.. Never ever again will I support this organization.

Politically bias and cannot be trusted.. Terrible actions by this organization will be remembered forever. Freedom 2022

Corrupt. Government corruption at its finest, got a refund and will never be using your platform again, also will be letting people know not to use it. Wish I could give you a 0 star rating.

Do not trust them. You can’t trust them to send your funds where they were designated. They leave campaigns up for violent causes but cancel peaceful ones if they have a differing political view. Will not use again

Less than reliable. Be careful, this organization may decide to keep the funds you raise or donate them to a different cause. I’d consider a more trustworthy fundraising platform with sturdier convictions.

Cannot Be Trusted Ever Again!. Deserves 0/5 Stars!

Thieves. Go Fund Me will never receive another dime from me. If one donates to a cause you don’t get to decide wether they get the money or not. Freedom Convoy 2022 is better off without you.

Can’t be trusted. Go fund me can’t be trusted

Liars,thieves, cowards. Give send go HONK

Gofundme stands against Freedom and Liberty. Do you?. This trash company has dipped its hand into Canadian politics to help emperor hide and seek against the majority. Ironically, in so doing, they also betrayed the people that took the time to donate their conscience using this service. Gofundme thinks your conscience can Go$%#^itself. Stop using this company, unless you agree with their politics. Which I’m sure are both fluid and for sale to the highest bidder. The question is, should proud and honourable Canadians use a service that wants to injure Canadian freedom and unity so fatally? I know my answer. SHAME. Help them to go broke, they’re certainly helping themselves. If you choose to stick around, I’m sure they’ll tell you what you can do, and return your money when they decide you cannot. Your call. Freedom, Liberty, Fraternity. Or Whatever gofundme says is okay (this week)

Freedom convoy 2022. This company can decide overnight with political reasons to cancel your fund raising. Shame on you go fund me

Gofundme discrimates!. Go Fund Me discrimates and steals! Do not trust this funding source or affiliates!

R Godbout. Dont use them they dont do ther job, maybe they will still your money, go freedom Covoy Ge

Terrible company. This company will take your money….and run with it. Proceeds raised do not go to the organization/charity/person they were raised for. Corrupt company!!!

Tried to Steal The freedom convoys money. Absolute trash company will try donate your contributions to whoever they want.

Do not trust - steals $$. You should be ashamed for your actions with regards to the truckers convoy and their rightfully earned funds - your business is on the wrong side of history.

Don’t support. Dont waste your time and support them. They are corrupt and government driven. To cancel the donations given by the public without doing there own investigation and looking into the protesting themselves. Rather listen to the local media and police reports that are one sided. Get on the bandwagon and support the protest and listen to the world. Shame on you and will never support.

Go woke go broke. Do not under any circumstances use this app! These spineless cowards are on the wrong side of history!

Monetizing a child’s death. How do you sleep at night when you let a mother who drugged and killed her daughter use your company to beg for money….blood money…on your hands. Absolutely pathetic quality control

Never again. Will never use again. The theft of funds from the Freedom Convoy 2022 was an outlandish attack. Having been in Ottawa for several days with my young children I can assure it’s not dangerous, illegal, nor is it an occupation. GoFundMe has acted illegally and I suspect will be found so in the courts. No one should ever use this platform, as they stand along tyranny and misinformation.

Horrible. Why cancel Truck convey… EXTREMELY DISSAPOINTED

Stolen. People give money and it doesn’t go to the people they gave it too

Garbage. Removing donations while allowing scams.

Untrustworthy. It would seem that they are manipulated by other sources such as their boss PayPal which also doesn’t allow people to support anything that is outside the government policies. They are not to be trusted and I would send my money using another system.

Users beware. What GoFundMe has done to the Canadian Truckers is deplorable. Won’t ever be part of a cause supported by GoGundMe.

Keep the politics to yourself.. Although the functionality of the program is fine for doing what it does... I’m disappointed that the money that was directed at our fundraiser was skimmed off the top and redirected to radical left wing causes and you openly block conservative fundraising campaigns. Your platform should 100% neutral and not be politicized. Not using you again until this policy is changed.

Smh. We are your people shame on you😭😡😭👺

Ethical Issues. It is clear that this company has severe ethical issues. How can you trust a company where when you donate you aren’t even sure it will get to the people it was intended for?

if u like fascist garbage, this is the app 4 u. puke

Thieves !. Thieves !

This company cannot be trusted. This company gets politically motivated and steals money from people who donate to causes. Do NOT use this app. Find another way to send money to causes. This company cannot be trusted.

GoFundMe is good, WePay is horrible. GoFundMe worked excellently with fundraising for my campaign. However, their ACH bank transfer company is absolutely not excellent. I give WePay one star for two big reasons: 1) no banks seem to have heard of them. As a result, a donation from a family friend was marked as potentially fraudulent by her bank. She had to get an entire new card and this disrupted her use of her account as a result. It was easier simply to allow the chargeback and have her donate again with her new card. Challenging it would have taken up to 2 months. 2) my bank (Wells Fargo) refused me access to my funds, because they had never heard of WePay, and didn't trust its legitimacy. I had to wait an extra few days to access them, forcing me to use other credit card to cover expenses related to the campaign. This makes GoFundMe a great platform to raise money, but a dubious platform to receive the money you raise. I did ultimately receive all my funds. How does the biggest online fundraising platform in the world use a company the biggest banks in the USA have never heard of??

Amazing. The simple fact that this is here, an app when something is impossible for you to accomplish due to finances or recourses is wonderful. The idea of so many coming together to help with one cause knowing that every single person that sacrificed either time or funds even though they have their own stresses and hardships in their own life , is just absolutely astonishing and heartwarming. It makes a world so dark seem a little bit brighter. I don’t know who started this idea but whatever they have gotten out of it, it’s well deserved. Thank you.

Awesome. GoFundMe is an awesome app but has room for improvement. For example, I’d love to have a feedback submission box where I can regularly submit new ideas for improvement, like this, on the app or website. I’d also like to make it more of a social network thing. Not the kind where you share your own pictures or statuses about random, insignificant things, but I’d like to be able to follow people better. For example, if there were a campaign I liked, I’d like to be able to “follow” that person so I could possible donate to any future campaigns they may create. Brandon Stanton of Humans of New York is always creating campaigns that I love, but I’d like to be able to follow him to make them easier to find.

AppIs crazy hard to use!. I didn't have an opinion one way or the other about GoFundMe prior to using it. After setting up my account to raise funds for a pending liver transplant i could no longer access the account. It worked for about a month then I could not access it again for months. It was incredibly disappointing and frustrating to see people make donations but not be able to access the account. I tried deleting the app and reinstalling it. I tried accessing it from a laptop, a desktop, an iPad, I kept getting the same error. Account not accessible at this time- or something to that effect. The while thing was/is a disappointment and major source of frustration. So, if you’re planning to start a fundraiser for any purpose, especially medical, LOOK ELSEWHERE.

Technical difficulties build unnecessary frustrations.. Update: developer sends me the same exact link that been glitching for days. They have no intention of helping us. The frustration is building. I’m going to start writing to my local, state and federal politicians to investigate how this can keep happening. Read the reviews. Apparently, this is part of their business model. Please start writing your local politicians and better business bureau. This is horrible business to have zero support. Now I have to eat crow and contact my donors and ask them to donate another way even though their money won’t be returned until November. So they basically keep your money hostage for months. There’s literally no way of fixing the issue. We all tried! There’s no live customer service. You can follow the instructions 100 times for the withdraw process and it still glitches and has issues. I set up withdrawals months ago. Now it’s asking me to do it over and over or the money will be returned. I’ve spent hours following the directions and trying to contact support. I’ve heard Facebook fundraiser doesn’t have this issue. I hope I’ll get luckily and magically my issue will get resolved.

Signed out. I love the app but I don’t appreciate how I was signed out of my account. I’m sure I speak for everyone when I say if I didn’t sign up through Facebook I shouldn’t have been signed out of my account when y’all ended y’all connection with Facebook. I would definitely recommend this app to anyone but y’all need to fix that automatic sign out situation it’s not fair to people who have poured big money into it I had trouble getting into my account because I assumed I would never need to sign back in if I never planned on signing out. 5 star app but as far as the app having my card information saved and y’all signing me out 1 star.

Truly a Godsend. At any given moment your world can be turned upside down. In our case an injured child requiring hospitalization for severe burns. Unexpected situation arise and there are somethings we cannot completely prepare for. First and foremost, the parents are focused on the well being of their child praying for the best possible outcome. Eventually, reality kicks in leaving a level of concern as to what the financial impact will be. This platform is a wonderful avenue for family and friends who have reached out asking how they can help at such a time as this. My family is very grateful for the caring people who donated to our cause through this platform .❤️

Unbelievable response! Thank you, GoFundMe!. In the wake of my son’s death, so many friends wanted to help. I had no idea the wave of financial support that our friends and community would muster to support us in our grief. This could not have happened without this easy-to-use platform. Sure, they take a fee, but the app makes everything so easy from the original post to saying thanks to donators to receiving the funds into the bank. The entire process could not be more simple. I will not hesitate to use this again should an unforeseeable tragedy ever happen again.

Concerned but overwhelmed with happy account & blessings. The only concern I have about this is I had never used this before so I was completely unaware of how it works & when I received DMs regarding my GoFundMe account I didn’t know if they were scammers or not. After a handful of requests asking for certain info I later received a email notifying me of what I should be aware of & scammers. Overall I was satisfied with my GoFundMe account but it was scary & nerve wracking not knowing what to exactly look for. However, thank you for such a blessing of an opportunity to help this family make their grieving easier. Thank you

Dbl mastectomy on Maria’s 45th bday. Gofundme has such a great platform! So easy to set up and is almost automatic, easy to leave updates as it’s also combined with Facebook and has been a huge blessing through this difficult, painful and extremely stressful time in my wife’s and our families life! Thank you so much gofundme! And all the wonderful people who have and continue to donate. Because of gofundme and all the people who have helped, it has helped relieve stress in the financial side of all of this. that most times is a whole other side to such a already very emotional event in our lives that is not thought about. But that is also very important part needed to get through this difficult time!

Outstanding Company!. Go Fund Me helped me gather the funds so that my dog could get a surgery he needed. As many people experienced, 2020 was not a great year and I was tapped out in every way, emotionally, physically, and financially! When a friend suggested I try a fundraiser, Go Fund Me was the first (actually the only one) I thought of. Once I started my fundraiser and was told that a few donators were receiving receipts in various languages, I reached out to Go Fund Me after searching their FAQ page. Maddy reached out to answer all of my questions and then reached out to the donors who needed new receipts. This whole endeavor has been a wonderful experience!

Default 15% Tip not cool. My daughter’s class is raising money for a trip they are taking to help communities who have been impacted by climate change and are forced to move. They are going to be helping build outdoor stoves, reforestation projects etc. . . I was disappointed when many of my family and coworkers donated to hear negative feedback from them that they were charged a 15% fee which is steep relative to many of their donations. You should make the default at 0% and allow people to opt in to select a tip since the tip is optional. It is very disingenuous to default to that in the event someone misses it! It’s a great app however you’ve lost my trust when I hear from multiple people who donated out of the kindness of their hearts and were upset to have a 15% tip auto included. Do better for your user experience.

There’s no go fund me for my country. I am a Colombian kid that was raised in the U.S, As of lately well not just me but everybody has been going thru it in this corona virus, there’s a lot of family’s In need of jobs with kids to feed. I have been fortunate enough to have my family take care of me. Do to corona virus a lot of family’s have been separated do to financial issues, I just wanted to help a family in need I would do it if I can but I am also jobless. I just wanted “ GOFUNDME” help me help them get at least thru the month. But it says it is not available in my country which I find strange I just hope you guys get this message and maybe change this. I know it might not change today but for future references please be aware that there are other country’s in need of this app! THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. I hope this changes soon thank you again ! 🙏

Help for mortuary services, hospital bills and home repairs. My brother passed away unexpectedly. His accident resulted in large hospital bills, unexpected cost for his mortuary services and a home in need of repairs due to his family not being able to pay for a costly roof and plumbing issues prior to the tragic accident, Thanks to this Gofundme’s platform and being available to ask family amd friends to help, My brothers wife and kids will be able to afford to pay down some bills and have some items repaired in their house! I am truly greatful to Gofundme! Denise Grisco

Game changer. I heard the three words no one ever wants to hear. You have cancer. My first thought is how am I going to cover this I have a huge deductible and my insurance won’t pay for everything. That night a friend set up a go fund me page and within 24 hours my deductible and major expenses were covered 100%. I can’t tell you how much it is lifted our burden and allowed me to focus on healing. The platform is also allowed me to give updates to my supporters as well as give information to people who are considering helping us. It’s made it so easy and trustworthy. I would highly recommend using this tool

Fast and user friendly. This is the first time I’ve had to use go fund me This is amazing for when you actually need it. We had a family member in a terrible wreck. He had multiple injuries and is bed bound no sitting or standing for 3 months at least. We used Gofund me to raise money and keep them afloat until he can recover. It’s super user friendly. It’s plain and simple which I like. They are extremely fast also. Everything is so fast I sat down and typed our fundraiser up and it was posted and shareable the next minute. Thank you Go fund me

Not good. Your company is not worth people time. You want them to have things verified by a date but you’re company won’t fix any of the errors in the verification area. When asked to upload Drivers license it doesn’t work. So then your donations that people give to you is sent back and you have to start over. knowing you are needing the funds. I checked you’re reviews and comments and it’s very sad when 4375 are complaints about the same issue. That has not been fixed you don’t have a point of contact you don’t respond to emails. What is the point of you’re company when you’re not helping. You become a major part of the issue. They would be better off doing Walmart to Walmart, Zelle etc. No percentage of their funds are deducted. All in all this is CRAP. I feel like you are extorting funds and I will get an attorney and sue GoFundMe.

An absolute blessing !!!!. One of my dearest closest Friends Allison, started this page for me and my family when my husband passed away a week ago. If it wasn’t for her starting this page I don’t know what we would’ve done. It was a total miracle of God. Not just the finances that were showered upon us for all of the future pills we need to take care of but because all the love of the people that came out from everywhere that wanted to express how much they loved my husband and cared for him. Praying God will bless and continue go fund me site to help all those other families like mine. 🙏♥️🙌

Keeping it Simple. I don’t know about you, but in the circumstances where a fundraiser is involved, simplicity and convenience is what I am looking for. That’s exactly what I found with the GoFundMe app. Sure they take a percentage of what you make, but the format is so convenient and time saving it is worth it. The notifications helped remind me to share the fundraiser, thank people who donated and check on updates- which was so helpful when you have a busy schedule. I loved how you could directly email donors from the app comments which saved me time and stress. It’s the most convenient and fast donation app I have used yet!

Amazing idea. The only problem is ....... GoFundMe takes a percentage of each dollar donated, understandably you have to pay employees and make money as well, but I believe many beneficiaries of these accounts truly need every dollar donated to them. For instance, the account I started for a dear friend of mine, has made roughly $6000, thus far with $200+ going to GoFundMe. But it doesn’t stop there Although I know this seems petty, my account beneficiary needs every penny, as he can no longer walk. In my opinion, GoFundMe should charge a one time fee $50 or so, for each account opened. Or maybe, give the option to pay a one fee “to open a account” or “open the account for free”but have a percentage taken out, like it’s done now. (For people that don’t have money to pay upfront) Just a thought. 😊🤷🏼‍♀️ All in all, I am very thankful to have been able to create a GoFundMe account for my friend in time of need. GoFundMe is a true blessing to many of my friends and family . Thank you from the bottom of my heart. Trisha

Fix Ur Cat spay and neuter funding. I thank everyone from the bottom of my heart who donated for these poor kitties. I also want to thank GoFundMe for making this place to donate possible. GoFundMe is a wonderful way to help others in need! They make it so easy and help each step of the way! I most definitely recommend GoFundMe if you or someone you know is in dire need of help. It’s most definitely got a 5 star rating from me! Because of GoFundMe and the beautiful people who donated from their hearts, many cats will be neutered and spayed this month and will no doubt save many lives in the future! THANK YOU ALL SO VERY MUCH!!!

Fundraiser for my sister. I had never ventured into raising money for a cause like this before. I was hopeful but hesitant. I have faith in the hearts of our friends and family and trusted God would move the people he chose to make this campaign a success. Even though I set a specific goal, I knew whatever we raised, it would be what was ordained by God and cover what was needed. I have been so pleased with the ease of spreading the word, and the helpful tips from GOFUNDME. They provide daily encouragement and ideas to keep my campaign fresh and alive. I would use this means of fundraising again if I need to.

Definitely Helpful. GoFundMe has helped on 2 financial issues in the past 6 years. I am always grateful, but I wish the stories that do not get a lot of publicity would shoot to the top of the list to help those people who really don’t know many people or use social media much. Also, I heard people complain about the service fee. I don’t think the amount charged is bad at all - maybe it’s because of the amount of the donation being sent, but when I cash out - I thought the amount deducted would so much more. Keep up the good work and I thank you for being here when I’m at my wits end!

Thank you GoFundMe Campaign. Our families are in crisis on the island of Puerto Rico. Many people from all over the world have enjoyed the beauty of the island, their culture and the beautiful people. Now in the struggle to survive they need our help and support. Many of our family and neighbors in Bayamon have losses that we cannot wrap our mind around here. Please consider contributing to our campaign. As soon as we are able to leave, my husband and his father are going over to the island with much needed resources. With the support of this wonderful campaign opportunity, you made it possible. Thank you for this avenue and thank you for the coaching along the way. We are half way to our goal!

Upset/Frustrated.. I’m super upset and frustrated right now. I set up a GoFundMe for my son. We have to travel out of state for his drs appointment in now 2 days. I’ve been trying to get the withdrawal set up for a total of 6 days now! Nothing. I’ve uploaded many different documents/screenshots & it’ll say when it’s supposed to be there in my bank then a couple hours later it’ll say there’s a problem!! I never had a problem with GoFund me last year or in Jan of this year until now & it’s so upsetting. There isn’t a costumer service line I can call either. The GoFundMe was, is or could’ve, supposed to have been a huge help an way to get him to his doctors appointment & I don’t think I’ll be able to make it out of state for my sons appointment now. I don’t know what to do! I hate to give it a one star but this is an emergency!

This app has problems. I like the convenience of an app to stay on top of my campaign. But there are A LOT of problems. 1) Why does it default to a page explaining what GoFundMe is and asking me to start a campaign? I have a campaign going. 2) I signed up to get app notifications whenever a gift is made or a comment is left. It worked for a few hours, then stopped, then I get intermittent, incorrect notifications. 3) When I go to the manage my campaign tab, the amount displayed is wrong. It is never accurate and updated. 4) Donations sometimes don’t show up right away. I’ll get an email notification (which I never signed up for but just started somehow) and the donation won’t show in the app. 5) The app continues to ask me to do things like share the campaign. Duh. I already did that. Stop asking me to share like it’s the first time. Generally, all the automated features are poorly designed. It will tell you to do things you JUST did. I’m going to keep it til the campaign’s done but if you use this beware that it’s extremely glitchy and has bad built-in messages and things that pop up inappropriately and interfere with use.

Restoring Daddy's Life. Not only does GoFundMe create possibilities for life- it helps for families to be reborn in Gods light. His promises are established through the heart of people coming together praying and having faith that could move a mountain. This has made it possible for my Daddy to have a second chance at living and not suffering any longer. We aren't able to financially obtain this medical treatment and insurance will not cover- because it's deemed not medically necessary. Without GoFundMe we wouldn't stand a chance. Thank you so much for the maker of GoFundMe. You change and touch so many lives. If I could, I'd shake your hand and hug you daily! God Speed!

I experienced a total loss fire…. My sister set up the GoFundMe to help me get through all the extra expenses that I incurred due to receiving bills for Demo $9,000 and insurance only pays $5,000. I also had to have a contractor complete emergency board up of the home after fire so I would be protected from liability and theft. That was expensive also and inspections that were done. Go FundMe has been a great resource to raise money. They also are great for handling all the transactions made, especially when I was dealing with so much stress. Thank you very much!! It also keeps everyone honest and safe and minute cost per transaction. Sincerely, Linda L

Here when I needed support. I’m so forever grateful for the campaign a best friend set up while I was in a coma exactly a year ago today. Because of gofundme and my friend Cindy, I didn’t have to experience an eviction while still in the hospital from March 1, 2021 through June 15, 2021. I’ve had two subsequent surgeries and one more scheduled for this coming May. I’m so blessed and grateful. I’d say I’m beyond words but that’s just an expression because the words are always there people are just too proud or ashamed to say them. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

No way to express my gratitude. My experience with go fund me made the impossible possible. It has helped in allowing the means for funeral expenses to lay my son to rest properly. Something a mother should never have to think about. I encourage everyone to look at at least burial insurance. I know I will when this is over. I wasn’t expecting or ready for something so sudden so soon. You always think you have time. He’d chosen to donate life to others he is truly my hero. So please hold them tight but prepare. Finances are not something to think of in such a dark time. Thank you go fund me. Couldn’t do it without this.

Great Start. GoFundMe has made it possible for both of my very young cats to have surgeries. Why I chose the most adorable kittens in this case and both end up needing expensive veterinary care I don’t know but GoFundMe helped me raise enough to almost cover the costs, especially two years ago when the cat was only two and needed hip surgery. I can see why some couldn’t give again. But every bit helps and the app makes it easy to keep track, get the funds into my bank account and to thank the donors via the app if I chose.

Excellent across continents. Launched a small successful fundraiser and was able to collect from friends in the USA, South America, and Europe! I was glad that this app was easy to use (when in doubt I googled lol) and was able to set up the page and the updates for all to know about the goings on (funeral arrangements and family updates as well). We had clear accounting of funds, and they were timely deposited in my bank (there is a 5-day gap that is very manageable). My only wish is that the deductions would only be by total amount and not by contribution as well- but they are doing a great job with this service. Reccommend.

Great App!!. Go Fund Me made it so easy to raise money for my once-in-a-lifetime trip - a 2-week, 90-mile wilderness backpacking trek across the mountains of New Mexico. GFM made it super easy to share my story with friends and family and for others to pass on my story to their contacts as well. I especially like that GFM keeps track of all the donations and let's me know the people whom I've thanked and not thanked in the app. The GFM funds were regularly deposited into my bank account and I was able to pay for trip expenses without having to wait too long for the money. Very pleased with GFM and would definitely use again in the future.

This is amazing.... I gave this four (4) stars ONLY because the pictures don’t appear on the app... only if one accesses the site via browser are they able to be seen. My friend set this up for me, and the response has been amazing from my wonderful friends within hours of them receiving the link. They responded from as far as Australia! It’s easy to thank them... and I appreciate that I can customize each one; it’s not a standardized boring thank you. That makes it easy for me to say what I feel for each and every blessed donation... and I will for every penny that comes in. GoFundMe pays VERY quickly... within about two (2) days of the first donations, the money was in my account minus a small fee. I’ve already received ANOTHER email that more is on the way to my account... which will be transferred in a savings account for this campaign. Thank you, GoFundMe. I have a very long way to go... but you’ve made my Wheels for Cancer Warrior dream about to become a reality... and I’ll get my life back. God bless.

My angel is watching over me, I know it. I miss you Dean♥️🥰. I’ve stooped to a new low, having to resort to doing this and relying on people that care about me and some I don’t even know. I never ask for anything and I know that struggling is a part of life. But sometimes the struggle is overwhelming and unbearable and thanks to things like go fund me and other fundraisers, people are able to get back on their feet, donate to their charities and just act out of the kindness of their hearts. Just always remember, that God works in special ways, not just sometimes but all of the time… You just have to believe…

I can dig!. It is a great tool, anyone, for anything. From Helping someone pay for treatment to a rare disease, to affording a plane ticket home for the holidays. You express yourself and why you need the help of others. Then the most beautiful part, friends, family, acquaintances, sometimes complete strangers join together to fund your need/desire/project/celebration etc. the charity of others is one of the most delightful thing to watch and experience the difference first hand to what that charity accomplish when we all give a little to achieve a much larger task. God bless all who take the opportunity be of service and treat others as they would want to be treated.

Blessing excellent. Thank you for having this app cause I just came out heart surgery recovery & I really need help❤️ This show me they have professional care people out here will help a person🙏❤️✊🏽Update April 2,2023 have to do other heart surgery they’re going to schedule but I don’t have income to help myself with medication, bills, and still don’t have enough to get heart machine, etc. I’m crying out for help & I don’t see any update can God watch over me cause I’m in so much pain fighting to save alive but I don’t have nothing to help myself 🙏🙏 Thank you for this app &

Verification steps is atrocious. The idea of it sounds good, but the only problem I have with it is the verification process. My information is up to date, the size of the picture is correct, none of the false information is up on my account, like everything that’s being asked on yo it behalf has been fulfilled but yet it still saying I don’t have the correct information but it’s clearly me, myself and I information on my account and my account. I don’t understand why you guys don’t have a phone number so I can call and get this situated because it is appealing and atrocious. Plz contact me and fix this plz. I’ve already contacted support about it and they said the information is incorrect which is preposterous and incorrect.

Where Hope Lives. When I first started this fundraiser, I did not hold out much hope, and thought to myself that I’m just wasting my time. At that point a cold realization came over me that I was going to have to let Rusty go, and I cannot put into words the fear and sadness that came over me. But when people started responding, it gave me hope, and before I knew it, we were at the 25% mark, then halfway, then we even exceeded our goal, and I am simply amazed at the show of support. For me this has been a learning experience. I’ve learned that there are still good people in the world, and I am honored to have found them here on GoFundMe.

Insensitive and Lackadaisical. GFM is a sham. My dad has stage 4 cancer and a facility is trying to help him but it is very costly. When we went to cash out the funds we had raised so far to put in a down payment to begin treatment, we were informed that it would take a minimum of 2 weeks to hit our account. We have 2 DAYS before he has to leave. We explained to them that his condition is critical and in order to begin any kind of treatment we NEED a small sum of the funds we had raised for the down payment. The rep we were talking to had the nerve to tell us my dad’s critical condition doesn’t make his situation anymore of a priority than anyone else. Let’s not even talk about how much of a cut they have been taking out of what we have raised. Do not use GoFundMe for anything critical or time sensitive bc they really don’t prioritize or empathize with your situation at all, even if a life is on the line, unless it’s some big publicity thing.

Where would we be without you?. Every once in a while I come upon an app or an idea or an invention that is inspirational. When I do I always. Think to myself that the person who invented it deserves as much money as they can get. “GoFundMe” is one of those. The app works very easily and is secure. The wire transfers are seamless. Most important of all though is that it brings people together and encourages the basic human need to share each other’s burdens. Please visit this site often and make random contributions to people or causes that appeal to you. Even a single dollar can make a difference in someone’s life.

Please do one for Mexico 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽. Help it’s always needed everywhere and sadly I seen lately a lot of things happening in Mexico and lots of people asking for help and with money the things is that whenever they’re trying to do a fundraiser there no app in order to help them, my cousin from mexico needs a surgery but over there fundraisers are pretty hard to do because they dont have an app such as this one that facilites the person that needs the help and the one that’s trying to help, and I seen this app before and it’s such an excellent app, having this app working in mexico would be a big impact for the community that is struggling right now, please help:((

Dawg Mom of Chewy. I love this but it’s a little hard to get around the app especially when I’m in the part to take a picture then if I don’t take one it’s hard getting back to where I was previously, other then that, I had complete strangers donate within the 1st minute after I posted it. This is a great platform for raising money for great causes! Thank you so much, if not for GoFundMe I would probably loose my dog because I simply cannot afford to pay all the vet bills. Thank you GoFundMe and all the people who’ve helped us out so far! Pray for Chewbug 🙏

Honest Opinion. This was the perfect thing to ask for help. I saw other reviews complaining of charges you have to pay, it’s a free app that lets you crowdfund, obviously you have to pay a little processing fee that’s literally only like 3% of what you’re depositing. I don’t know how well it works for large scale campaigns but for me it was perfect for what I needed! I’m a college student trying my best to pay for some things at school and obviously being a full time student I need a little help. 10/10 all around for me

Gofund me for my wife to become a cancer survivor.. When my wife was diagnosed with cancer we didn’t really know a lot about gofundme. We had heard of it, however when we knew someone was in need we would always help in anyway usually by sending a letter and some money via mail. This has been an absolute blessing so far to our family. It’s allowing my wife to put her energy from all the prayers, thoughts and financial assistance into healing instead of the financial burdens you encounter when you have a a shocking diagnosis of cancer at age 32 and have 2 young kids. We appreciate this app and will support it by suggesting it to someone anyone else in need. Thank you Drew

Simple and effective.. I’ve been using gofundme for a while to make some donations. Recently, we found ourselves starting one due to an unfortunate situation with my partner. When starting it, I ran into a minor tech issue and customer service had it fixed within minutes. When my friend donated and accidentally hit the wrong and much higher number they refunded him right away. Our fund raised over $11,000 in a week and it was simple and intuitive to reach out to each individual donor. I’ve not withdrawn funds yet as we are starting a nonprofit and have paperwork to square away, so I am unable to rate that feature. Everything else has been great so far.

The app works for most stuff but there’s a few bugs that are really annoying. Few bugs that can get really annoying. For most people the seriousness of using the website/app is very useful but when you’re typing things or starting a new campaign the app will delete what you just wrote and it can be tough to write it exactly how you had put the emotion into it. Little bit stressful when you find the right words for someone that has passed away but then it gets deleted. Somethings you save on the app for the campaign won’t fully save and will be changed after you post it. For a site/app with very serious things it is a bit odd to see how these bugs are even present. GoFundMe can do better. The app is functional though.

Doesn’t work for emergencies. My experience with gofundme haven’t been really good for the moment. We have an emergency with my brother who had a car accident in Venezuela a we need to send money to cover his medical expenses and we haven’t able to get any money from our donations after more than 2 weeks that we started our campaign. We barely have been able to contact someone just by email and they take too long to answer and ask for the same thing more than once. They don’t have a phone number to call and the 24/7 support center don’t respond. So at this point I don’t really know what to do. So if you have an emergency I didn’t recommend you to use gofundme. I hope We’ll be able to solve this issue as soon as possible.

Helped us so much !!. We started a GoFundMe after my dog was diagnosed with a sudden horrible disease and had ti fight for her life 💔 she is not even 2 and needed hospitalization in the ICU she needed multiple blood transfusions and a feeding tube ect ect and we could not afford it . I made the GoFundMe and it has been a lifesaver literally !! We had so much help it’s overwhelming and my baby girl is home now although the recovery is ongoing we are still getting help with the expenses of the ongoing treatments and meds 😭❤️❤️❤️ it was easy to set up and share and made all the difference in the world !

Crisis Management. Being a person recently diagnosed with a brain tumor this app has been very helpful. Some friends started the go fund me campaign and have allowed me to manage it (since I'm the one needing the funds). Finding out you are possibly dying soon is heavy and stressful enough so anything, like this app, that makes life around my ailment easier is a blessing. I hope it's cheaper to use the site for illness/charity than for a business startup but I'm not sure. I know you have to make money to operate the site and the percentage y'all take is relatively low but it would be ideal if your charity was allowing those possibly deathly ill to use the site and app for free. Otherwise it's helpful and I'm grateful for it. Thanks guys.
