2026-08-08	Gu*****	GoFundMe has been a terrible experience. After collecting money from friends and family, they have delayed transferring the funds for over two months despite multiple support tickets. The money is urgently needed by people in desperate situations. I recommend using direct transfers instead of relying on GoFundMe.

2026-08-08	Vi*****	complete hoax. Only people that actually get support are people who have a network of people. The rest of us are left to fend for ourselves and our kids while sponsors are helping a guy get a riding lawnmower.

2026-08-06	Ti*****	OMG, the app and program is the best. I wasn't very hopeful when I put up a gofundme page. But the support I received is incredible. And the help you get in setting up everything. I'm speechless.
