Pulling the bodega guy WAS WRONG!
Yet you allowed a nut with a gun shooting everything up in site.
What's wrong with you!
Shooting your self in the foot sounds really dumb….

Jose Alba was arrested for defending himself from a violent aggressor. Gofundme deleted his gofundme page for political reasons.

Go fund me has secret reasons for shutting down your accounts,

While we know this may bring up questions about the reasons for these actions, we need to keep those reasons private in order to maintain the safety of donating and raising money on GoFundMe. There trash.

Go fund me sucks
March 31, 2022

I have been trying to set up a money transfer to my bank for two weeks now! It is ridiculous! It tells me to verify my email I do but then it sends me right back to the same page telling me to verify my email address. How many times does it need to be verified? I mean come on, I have verified and verified and yes I have sent in all the required documents needed for a transfer yet still not set up all the way. Why not? I think gofundme is a branch of the damn IRS. Actually its easier to get a refund from the IRS than it is to get funds from this stupid website. I give gofundme a -10 points. It would be helpful if they actually had someone I could talk to but you know they dont.

This is a company that has not only violated the most basic privacy rules by exposing all the private information for the donors to everyone but had the audacity of actually talking the money from people and giving them to charity of their choice. People should know this platform is used to raise funds that can finally be used for totally different purpose.

Bad customer service
February 27, 2022

I had many problem for the few months that I had my gofundme. Nobody would ever reply to my emails. A lot of problems arose. They did things without my consent to change my gofundme. Even the people that did reply which was rare, were not helpful. Awful experience. I am still hurt and angry.

Never again…
February 22, 2022

Your business practices are appalling, and I hope many others like myself will let your company die on the vine.

You are a service! Nothing more!

Never again will I donate to anyone using, or will I use your company to do so.

Not a good company at all
February 15, 2022

You can't trust this company. It's not here to help people. It's a business that can't and won't stand up for Canadians. They are aligned with liberals. Don't use them.

Steals your donated money
February 13, 2022

Never, ever, ever donate to charities though GoFundMe, they are a corrupt socialist organization. If they don't agree with choice of whom you want to donate to, they will simply pick a beneficiary that they support from an ideological perspective. Defund GoFundMe!
