From the beginning I have had a great experience! The platform is very easy to use. Set up is clearly explained and done in minutes. I had a specific question for the Happiness Team, which was answered very quickly, with a friendly and concise explanation. So far, the app is working great and I love how easy it is to thank donors. I was intimidated withthe thought of running a fundraiser, but GoFundMe has eliminated all the fear. Highly recommend it!

I had, what I am calling a "Wonderful Life, George Bailey" moment and GoFundMe was there for me. In a dark time of my life, when I needed help GoFundMe was there when so many others weren't But the bonus was when I needed to remove my GoFundMe campaign to clean up my Social Media presence GoFundMe was once again there for me and removed from their website. This is truly a wonderful company.

I’m currently receiving donations as my home burned down on 3/6/18; my friends started an account for me as my family and I were left with nothing. I love how people can assist in the time of need through GoFundMe. I’ve also been on the other end where I’ve given to people in need many times. My only problem w/ GoFundMe is that I have to search for my credit card to donate. You all should use another form of payment, ie, PayPal.

I accidentally left a 15% tip for GoFundMe on a large donation I'd made to my nephew's creative project. I was afraid it was a done deal since my credit card had been charged but was able to quickly find a link on their website to address the concern and got an immediate response that they would refund the tip to my credit card. I was appreciative of their interest in making sure my money was used as I intended.

Very grateful to all the team that attended us.

GoFundMe gave me the opportunity to overcome the 'cloud of silence' that so often surrounds illness and/or loss. Instead, I shared my story with friends and family and then with many who read my story whom I'd never met before. Although it is scary to be faced with a lack of resources during a crisis, the response of others shows how quickly a crisis can shrink away.

I have read many stories on GoFundMe. I have donated many times to people that I have read about raising funds on a GoFundMe page. I feel that they offer a wonderful service, helping those who have no other way to pay for any number of things. I understand that there is a fee to provide this widely viewed service, I just wish it could be adjusted depending on the reasons that money is being sought. Some people need every single dime that is donated to help them get through, others can "afford" to pay a larger fee.
