I've given to many gofundmes throughout the years and while I believe that this is a great concept and platform- the fact that they are controlling funds and limiting donations to certain groups for political purposes is STRAIGHT UP DISCRIMINATION. I will never donate using this platform again. Hope they sink.

I inadvertently entered incorrect banking information and I received assistance until I got it corrected which took a few tries. I received patient detailed help to correct.

I would give this 5 stars, however, I don't like the fact that there is no phone number to call. I understand why, just don't agree with It! I like to speak to people I'm doing business with.

You have to make the 1st step to make your goal. It not only encouraging, but promising as well. Sometimes you have to just reach out with faith. It can be rewarding.

I was treated very well by GoFundMe staff, the response time was unbelievably fast and I am very satisfied with the result. All queries were answered.

I found that GoFundMe was very good and more importantly, the help me workers were able to reassure me and tell me how to get me funds. Very caring people there.

You can tell them someone is dying and no help is received. They do not care and if your family dies because they never answered you they are just sorry and still haven't answered. They are a joke

Fraud is what it is called. People give to a fund raise and they then decide to give it to where they want…. Never will I donate to a go $#*! me page again…

Apparently they can take your money if they don't like the cause you're donating to, and give it to another cause that they like better.
Will never use to donate money again.

This Is the first time I'm on here and to know I have the opportunity to share this has been wonderful. I am comfortable with the fact that this is a real site that works and I'm thankful.

I had made a mistake in my entry and it was handled swiftly and professionally! I had put the donation amount in the tip field and vice versa. I panicked but it was dealt with thankfully.

I was able to get my fund up. It takes a little bit of time to get the picture to show up properly. It needs to be easier to set up the picture. I can recommend GoFundMe agency to you.

Scum bag hack company that can't think for themselves. When you turn a blind eye to other protests that are actually divisive and penalize one that stands for unity, you are a hack company.

I recently made a donation, and mistakenly added a much larger tip than I intended. I reached out to them, and got a response and a resolution within an hour. Impressive!

I asked for their help in creating a campaign page a basic campaign, and they cannot help. I am extremely unwell at the moment and need their help and they cannot do it. Not happy at all.

Never, ever again will we ever be using this site again. After our donations to the Canadian truckers were stolen - we will never forgive and never forget.
Tip for consumers:
They steal money

Controlling donations? No thank you. We'll use any of the number of other options available to us. Bye, gofundme!

Gofundme have blocked the 9million raised in the Convoy freedom movement 2022 donations raised.
They are not returning the money to the donators. This is theft on a huge scale.
Tip for consumers:
Use a different platform
