Be aware any money sent to this company might not get to the cause the donor is supporting. Unacceptable behavior and concerning lack of ethics.
Do not even think of using Gofundme for any purposes that might go against the political biases of the company.
They froze an important and popular fundraising campaign that had raised millions of dollars, then publicly stated their intention to steal the funds that had been raised and give it to another charity of their choosing.
Due to extreme public backlash they have now opted to repay all of those that donated, but clearly, this was not their original intent. That original intent was to blatantly steal the funds.
I would highly recommend that no one every give a penny to these swindlers ever again.
They withheld tons of money from a legit fundraising event on political means. Cancel culture at its worst. Don't use!
This week, GoFundMe betrayed Canadians by removing the large fundraiser that was a huge success to support truckers who were fighting for ALL CANADIANS' freedom. I will never use the site again.
A great alternative is GiveSendGo.com
Cheers
You are a disgrace. People gave to the Canadian Convoy (a peaceful protest) and you freeze and hold funds yet you support BLM and organizations who burn and loot businesses. Will NEVER give through your corrupt company again. #classactionlawsuit
Stay away. They will take your money and give it to causes they deem appropriate.
The convoy to Ottawa raised over 10 million and got shut down. Why? Your company should be ashamed of itself. I'll never donate to them again and will never look at this company the same again. Very disappointed in their actions
Gofundme is anti-democratic.
People have the right to protest against tyranny.
I will never use again this platform and tell my friends to do the same.
Terrible your service is awful. I never use them ever again. You kept money that is not yours is awful.
Go fund me will take sides. They are not neutral. They froze 10 000 000$ for no justifiable reason when good citizens were trying to join efforts to retake their freedom in Canada. They are a sold organization.
Trash company. Participants in partisan politics. Anti freedom. Very hopeful that competition puts these scumbags out of business soon.
I HOPE THE FREEDOM CONVOY HIRES GOOD LAWYERS TO DESTROY GO FUND ME LEFTISTS MAFIA. RELEASE THE MONEY OR GIVE IT BACK TO DONORS! WHERE ARE GO FUND ME HEADQUARTERS? WE SHOULD PAY A VISIT!
Absolutely despicable what go fund me did with the convoy 2022... i will never use go fund me ever...
GoFundMe didn't cancel Black Lives Matter fundraisers when it was clear the associated riots had become violent yet unlawfully cancelled the fundraiser for the peaceful trucker convoy in Canada even attempting to redirect the finds to only GoFundMe approved charities (until the overwhelming backlash caused them to reverse course and issue refunds to everyone). They are biased and cannot be trusted. Use GiveSendGo instead
The site is a SCAM and a RIPOFF. 100% SCAM! AVOID!
You'd be better off flushing your money down the toilet.
This is a politically driven left-wing lunatic organization. They stole millions of dollars from people supporting truck drivers who were fighting for their freedoms to not be forced to be vaccinated. Skip this organization and find another way!
Despicable... To just take donors money and do what GoFundMe wants, not what the donors want. They need to make things right for these hard working people.
An absolute disgrace what you did to the Ottawa FreedomConvoy2022 fundraiser. Your company should be ashamed of itself..
Go fund me has made decisions in line with political affiliations. My donations are not to be scrutinized be people that work for Go Fund Me. Who in the HELL made them GOD! TThink long and hard begore you use this platform!
Over $10 million dollars were contributed to Freedom Convoy 2022 and GoFundMe wrongfully decided to not pay out because Trudeau very falsely claimed this was a "terrorist group", labelling hundreds of thousands of supporting Canadians and others as "terrorists". GoFundMe caved to an oppressive government. The good news is that a Christian based, honest group is now receiving and dispersing funds: GiveSendGo.
Stealing almost 10 million dollars from the Canada Freedom Convoy was theft & this won't end well for GFM. You're obviously siding with communists and need to be boycotted
Answer: I do not want to delete my account. I just want them to put their predudice aside and publish my campaign.
