“Out of 125 applicants, Cadenas was one of seven accepted into a Ph.D. program in psychology. But paying for the program was even more challenging for Cadenas than a typical student. Undeterred, he created a Web page dubbed "German. Chasing his Dream!" on gofundme.com, a fundraising site. Cadenas has raised $19,253 toward his $25,000 goal.”
“GoFundMe is a truly comprehensive platform that will empower anybody to raise money, for any purpose whatsoever... couldn't be simpler!”

“GoFundMe has helped thousands solicit money to produce independent films, bounce back from a house fire or, in one headline-grabbing American case, pay for a liver transplant.”
