  • Eye surgery on Monday
    I don’t have ocular melanoma but I have seen cases detailed in inspire.com or gofundme.com or https://forum.melanoma.org/forums/forum/general-forum/[inspire.com](https://inspire.com) or gofundme.com or https://forum.melanoma.org/forums/forum/general-forum/ I know I have surgical removal including removing the eh, a radiation technique involving sewing a radiation plaque to the back of the eye, to treat the... - Source: Reddit / 7 days ago
  • (OC) A redditor who I will name in the comments has built me a new finger after insurance turned me down for one. They took an existing design and customized it with my feedback and made me whole again. It should be known that Limb Labs wanted 15 to 20 thousand dollars for one.
    Making a gofundme.com page came to mind. - Source: Reddit / 9 days ago
  • Always glad to see one of these
    John Devlin can't be making much on YouTube with Mormon Stories. It would probably take a concerted gofundme.com campaign to bring billboards to other areas. Perhaps separate gofundme campaigns for SLC, Provo, etc. Just a thought. - Source: Reddit / 16 days ago
  • Party with no presents question
    A friend of mine once hosted a birthday party for their 3 year old and specifically stated no presents. Instead, they set up an "entertainment fund" on gofundme.com for him that people could send money to. This paid for things like camps, trips to the zoo, and other various activities. Pretty great idea. Kids value experiences over things majority of the time. - Source: Reddit / 23 days ago
  • Please help me contact someone affiliated with Bruce.

    Another way is the gofundme.com route. It might not be as helpful as it was a while ago, but you have to try. - Source: Reddit / 7 months ago

    You can always start with a gofundme.com campaign. - Source: Reddit / 11 months ago
  • Local Nextdoor post - mom looking for $71K (USD) to help her likely wealthy child get funded for college
    Go on gofundme.com and search the name shown in the screenshot "tuition (berkeley, georgia tech, purdue, nc state)" it's the only one that will appear. It's still at 10$ lol. - Source: Reddit / 12 months ago
  • Security considerations regarding photo evidence
    I wanted to use gofundme.com, but they dont support ukraine. And yes I want to ask for cash, we have no options here right now. And im eager to provede evidence im not a scam. Im going to post pics from the basement we are hiding at, without addresses, geotags or street sights. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • The Cost Of A Hip Replacement In The U.S.
    Ah but your forgetting the US health care policy: gofundme.com. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Found this in r/memes and thought it belonged here.
    I mean, the government cant just pay for their bills or give them another job it is way too bad for the economy.(like people are complaining about nasa), and if ur saying the country is void of compassion why don't you go to gofundme.com and actually fund these people atleast you wont be void of compassion. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Florida firefighter, Red, didn’t trust the vaccine and ended up in the ICU for 7 months. He pulled through, but will need medical assistance the rest of his life. Cue the gofundme for his wife and two young kids.
    So curious what long term recovery involves. I googled him on the gofundme.com website. His wife says, "He is currently bedridden, and his rehabilitation will take at least another year, and at the same time we find ourselves having to fight for even just the most basic compensation and benefits to which he’s entitled.". - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Got an idea for a Georgist project? Need funding? Post in the comments!
    The Young Georgists of America hit a $2k target in 12 hours using gofundme.com; that is just one project, and they probably would have received more donations if they had set a higher target. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Fundraising platform in Tanzania?
    I initially suggested gofundme.com, but this doesn't support Tanzania. So I found M-Changa, but this seems to aimed at the Kenyan market, so this also won't work. - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • Birthday Surprise
    Her birthday's approaching, and I thought that as a gift, I could buy her a bed. I myself don't earn any money, but thought about starting a fundraiser on gofundme.com . I think it would mean the world to her. Now, here's my question: I'm still a minor, and I don't know how to approach this situation. Is it even legal to start a gofundme as a minor? - Source: Reddit / about 1 year ago
  • I don't think Ben actually cares if his followers die
    The final stage of the anti-vaxxer is https://gofundme.com. - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • Assalamu Alaikum. We should remind ourselves of the rights our neighbors have over us, and how much care Allah has taught us to have for the well being of our neighbors. For those with the means to do so, some websites like GoFundMe have a 'near you' section to help you find your neighbors in need.
    But in the meantime (while you are establishing that bond), try to use technology to help you fulfill that obligation. For example gofundme.com has a feature where they show you gofundme campaigns near you (control f "Find a GoFundMe near you" on their website home page). Often times the campaigns listed here are very, very close to my home, so this feature is quite accurate. Donate what you can (donations can be... - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
  • https://gofund.me/f0703667
    This is a scam I am guessing. Why? The actual go fund me link is gofundme.com NOT "gofund.me" For example.. This is a real fundraiser link: https://www.gofundme.com/f/m6e5k?qid=f024c7f7fc4b50617949b58b67b0ad2d, which looks a lot different than the link OP posted. I almost fell for this too, so I just want anybody to remember to not click on any suspicious links:). - Source: Reddit / over 1 year ago
