GoFundMe reviews from recent users:

💚 Help with emergency medical bills

“My girlfriend suffered a serious health problem while on vacation. Suddenly we were far from our country, without speaking the local language and in a hospital. The hospitalization lasted 21 days with many medical exams and even a possible operation. Thanks to my GoFundMe we were able to cover the costs of deposits, payment of exams, accommodation and flight payments to be able to return to our country. It is a great support tool in difficult times.”

💚 Fundraising for a friend

“This was my first time creating a GoFundMe for a dear friend of mine who has a recurrence of cancer and her family is in financial straits. We were amazed at how easy it was to set up the GoFundMe and manage it. My friend and her family were SO appreciative of the support they received and the funds will help them get through the next few months. I can’t recommend GoFundMe enough. Thank you!”

💚 Choosing GoFundMe as the go-to crowdfunding platform

“GoFundMe really helped us getting our funding together in a beautiful way. The ease of setting up the page and communicating about it got things going quickly. Funding by almost 180 people in less than 2 months was a great experience we weren’t sure about beforehand. The way GoFundMe communicates with you, as a person in the chats, and via mail, was helpful. And receiving updates about your funding page and the quick payments were nice as well.It was surprising to see that even unknown people donated to our project and that it also generated media attention as a successful crowdfunding project. Overall we are very pleased with this experience and recommend other people as well to use GoFundMe as your go to crowdfunding platform!”

💚 Easy to set up and easy for people to donate

“GoFundMe was a blessing for my daughter and her children after their house fire. It was simple for me to set up and easy for people to donate. I was able to thank donors immediately. We are very grateful for this service 🙏”

💚 Community support for a local business

“In June of 2024, a car crashed through the window of Anna Maria’s Pasteria- a family owned and operated restaurant that has been in our community for 35 years. When we saw the damage the next day, our hearts broke. There was a very real chance the business would not recover. The business owner is in her 80s and the recovery involved some heavy lifting. Plus, her longtime staff of loyal employees would be out of work during repairs. We created a GoFundMe to help with costs insurance wouldn’t cover and to support Anna’s staff during the temporary closure.

We had no prior experience running a fundraising campaign and didn’t know where to start. GoFundMe made the process simple, easy and quick at a time when we needed those exact qualities from a fundraising partner. Within a couple weeks we’d surpassed our $20,000 goal- something we never thought possible at the onset. It’s a testament to the kindness of our community, its love for Anna’s good, and the power of GoFundMe’s platform.

We’re thankful to have had access to such a service from a trusted company. If we ever have another fundraising campaign we wouldn’t hesitate to run it through GoFundMe again.”
