Go Fund Me!!! WTH?

[thevalueman]

I'm confident most of the GFM's are, in fact, scams.....BUT if you know the beneficiaries, then, that's a different story....My friends Ex set up a GFM for her/their son that committed suicide...well....my friend paid all expenses for all of the arrangements she kept all the GFM money for herself...I will not send money to a GFM account because of what they did to the truckers last year!!!...nodda....nothing...not a thing...so sorry...I'll be glad to mail you a check!!!

Guess this would be the wrong thread to post my Go Fund Me to support my Spring Break Vacation

Where do you see these Go Fund Me campaigns? This site is as close to a "social media platform" as i get.

If you're seeing them on Facebook or Tiktok or some other gay **** maybe you should spend your time some other way instead of bitching about it....

I'm a sucker for charity also, kids and dogs and old folks get me every time. But I'm not touching an online donation.

I don’t usually feel compelled to just randomly give. I like to think when I do that it’s because of a true hardship and not that I am freeing them up to spend money on a want

Go to FB Marketplace and look at all the ads people post for handouts.

Typical: Hello I'm a single mother with 4 kids and just moved to this area and have no job. We have nothing and need everything like furniture and clothes for my kids.

I have never picked up and moved my family on a whim with no plan and certainly never asked for freebies.

I have.

I sold a lot of things i owned for a long time and cashed out my retirement to move to Georgia. It wasn't easy but it was a lot better than hoping strangers would help me.
