True. I have donated thru GoFundMe (former co-worker, badly injured in auto accident, had to rehab house to accommodate wheelchair) and as I recall I could give a 100 and he would get 92, or I could give 108 and he could get 100.
My grandson tried to use GoFundMe to raise $5000 for an upgrades to his Audi. He got exactly "$0".

Yes, I knew someone who lost everything in a fire. He had lost a newspaper editor job and was living as a chaperone in a group home with challenged adults and trying to do some freelance editing and playwriting. All he asked for was enough money to get a laptop. A lot of people from the local writers groups contributed.

Hey Peeps - we can just bypass GoFundME. Instead of my winning the lottery if you all just chip in a couple bucks each if will be just like winning the lottery! You all can just PM me your bank account number and PIN and I'll take care of everything from there.
Con woman? I read the page and the article. All I see someone being complete honest with the fact that she spent her money on lotto tickets and will spend the money she gets on more lotto tickets. There is no scam, in fact I take it all as a joke, and the fact that so many get so upset about the whole thing make me question how screwed up we really are. People cannot seem to wait to attack and hate people, and damn they cannot take a joke. As I said before if people want to donate to her gambling on lotto tickets what difference does it make to you or anybody else?
Pffft, Cordova isn't poor. You're right, the woman is playing folks The median household income in zip code 38018 was $67,437 and the median income for a family was $82,319. In zip code 38016, the median household income was $64,190 and the median family income was $80,736.-as of the 2010 census
Please help me and my family as we have exausted all of our funds. We spent all of our money on lottery tickets (expecting to win the 1.5 billion) and are now in dire need of cash. With your small donation of at least $1.00, a like and one share, I’m certain that we will be able to pick ourselves up from the trenches of this lost and spend another fortune trying to hit it big again! PLEASE, won’t you help a family in need. DONATE NOW.
Yes, lets please help them "pick themselves from the trenches of this 'lost" so they can spend another fortune trying to hit it big. Please help a family in need!!
Ahh..NO.
Can't believe people actually were dumb enough to fall for this one, but like someone else said, "You can't fix stupid".
What does it say about the people who felt sorry for her? Possibly, people should have told her to get a job or a second job to pay for her own mistake.
The lottery is just a TAX ON THE STUPID! (I do not know anyone personally who has won THE BIG JACKPOT and I dont think no one else does either!)
