GoFundMe Fundraisers: I Am Living Proof That It Works
My little brother, Herschel, (who is now 30-something) called me up a few weeks ago and said that he was getting married(!) on May 1. That meant that I had only five weeks to come up with enough money to purchase plane tickets for myself and my daughter, Willow!
I blanched. I felt the blood drain from my face.
I don't know about you, but I don't have an extra $900 to $1,000 just sitting around in my savings account! So one of my besties helped me create a GoFundMe page. In the meantime, I have been working some extra jobs here at work to gather up enough cash to purchase my two tickets!
I am living proof that GoFundMe works! My generous friends have so far helped me get over $300 toward purchasing my two plane tickets! I am looking forward to seeing my brother get married and finally getting to meet my 4-year old nephew, Ayden, who has Downs Syndrome. I am so excited and grateful!
(If you want to donate to my GoFundMe account, I certainly will not stop you! In fact, I will actually give you a million virtual hugs! (Click on the pic below)
