What have you learned about yourself after facing hard times?

Going through something difficult and making it out the other side is not something to downplay. With every experience, you have an opportunity to build character, learn more about the world, and potentially teach others through the wisdom of your experience. When was the last time you went through something hard? What did you learn about yourself during the experience?

What dreams are you following by creating a fundraiser?

I am excited at the idea of possibly having my dreams come true!! I’d really like to move across the country and with the generosity of others, this may be a possibility! What dreams have you contributed to with go fund me?

It can be difficult to spread the word when you're household is off social media.

When our house stopped using social media platforms years ago, I never realized I would someday need that network of people to help our family in such a crisis! I'm so grateful for my family though. Through the chain effect of my family raising awareness for Joell,  they've been able to reach people I never would on my own. I'm still hesitant to start back up on various platforms. All advice and suggestions welcome!

insecure and lost

I had shared my story verbally, through txts and social medias… one person donated and rest just share. I feel so alone and lost. This is my 1st time ever creating a GoFundMe page only because I’m a self go getter but not this time … like my posts are invisible.. thank you if anyone is listening

Need some emotional support

It has been a hard two day. Haven’t slept more than two hours. Got woke up in the middle of the night to have my car repo’d. I have been in a panic trying to figure out how I am going to get my daughter to her dental surgery next week. Something that she has had to wait for months for. Trying to figure out how to get her to school with limited bus transportation in my district and more. I feel like I am always there for everybody else.  But when I need help in return everyone goes silent. Not even checking in just to see if I am ok. Lucky though that I have the best daughter in the world who is giving me extra hugs all day. So, I know I have one in my corner, but she is a child and shouldn’t have to have adults' problems on her.

asking for PRAYERS and HOPE

It’s so hard loosing someone you’ve had in your life since they were just a tiny baby. My SHADOWW and I have been together side by side since day one he came out of his litter. Loosing him would be one of the hardest things I’ve ever have to go through also while being pregnant and it sucks. But I do believe that everything will work out somehow someway just asking for prayers and hope and uplifting! God bless all your fur babies to live long and happy lives. 💜

Someone tried to have access to my bank account!!

Last night I was talking to someone who I thought would help me with my fundraiser, but it turns out, he wanted full access to my bank account where I will receive the funds!! This really sucks because I really do need the help.I reached out to my bank and they took care of things. (this person actually tried to log in my account several times 😟!! unbelievable) So what now? I don’t feel like sharing my fundraiser anymore, but don’t know what to do.

Overwhelming Chain of Events

Starting my GoFundMe has been the most humbling experiences I’ve ever had. However, “Murphy” (as in Murphy’s Law) has jumped on our back and just decided to hang on for a while.

Hello!

Hi to everyone out there. Im new and am in an urgent crunch. I dont know anyone outside my family because im constantly working. I no longer trust any one because we've been hiding from past personal experiences. So im hoping i dont get too much attention. Does any one know what else i could do. I just sit trying to make friends an social media but I never get to talk to people so I just like and follow.. my mind is too stressed and am unsure of what to say... does any one have any tips?

Want to be public with fundraising, but keep judgy people

So Im having such a hard time because while every donation counts and is very much so needed Im struggling with keeping the fundraiser from being seen by people who shouldnt be in my families lives. While we need donations and I want to share our fundraiser with the world I also want to shield my family from some of the bad people we dont associate with anymore. I am finding it hard to navigate.

What do I do?

My story is very time sensitive. I don’t have social media myself. But my friends have shared it. I can’t get help from my family because they’re the reason I’m in this situation in the first place. I hate that. I feel like no one really cares. It’s only been a day, and I know I shouldn’t sound so selfish or impatient, but it makes me feel like I should just delete it. What do I do? I am truly panicking. Any advice?

Grateful

Today I created a GoFundMe for my grandfather. I visit him every day around 6pm. I was very excited to show him the account I made for him. When I did he was very surprised and even started crying. I feel so grateful and blessed to be able to do something like this for him. And I just want to thank everyone on here because all of you are such an inspiration to my grandfather and I. Thank you and God Bless 🙏

New to GoFund Me

Hello everyone my name is Codie Emery. I created my go fund me account on behalf of my father whom passed away Sept 1 2021. My father fell very ill very fast. One day we are grocery shopping and the next few days he passed away in his sleep. Leaving behind my mother whom is not eligible to claim his retirement benefits. Lost everything they had. Me being the only child of course I take her in. Only by the grace of God we are surviving. Myself and my children have been homeless since December 2020. Due to the pandemic and little personal problems going on. I decided to leave my house and everything behind. Thinking that I would be able to work pay $100 a night at the hotel as well as feed three kids myself and my mother. Working 40 hours a week at my job I wasn't even bringing home $500 in a week. I have nobody not family not friends. I want to change in my life so I left all the bad behind. This is my first time actually letting someone know what I'm going through. I'm not trying to be

I just want to say thanks Go Fund Me

 When someone starts a go fund me , it is extremely hard to stay motivated especially when most others right now also are having such a hard time with financials.  please add any tips you have to get more donations , what might have worked for you when you didn’t have any donations , how did you get the snow ball rolling?

Fundraiser for a small business

I feel like my fundraiser is not worthy of even being here but I really do need the help my fiancé works at 9 to 5 which is barely covering the bills but I have two disabled children that I stay home with and there’s really not a shift that I could work unless it’s midnights I’ve tried that and I had a really hard time sleeping and started having mental health issues myself and I feel like everybody that looks at my go fund me they think it’s just a lie I have zero donations I’m starting a business from home so I can be with my family
