GoFundMe: Best in Crowdfunding 4+

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.

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.

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..
