A Message from GoFundMe

Contrary to reports, a very small number of donors to the ‘Victoria’s Victories’ GoFundMe fundraising campaign have requested refunds. The money raised remains inside of the campaign organizer’s account - with a temporary hold placed on the balance.

Donors wishing to request a refund may do so at: /contact

Unless otherwise instructed by law enforcement, GoFundMe will make the account balance available to the campaign organizer on Monday, June 30, 2014.

Due to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding the 'Victoria's Victories' online fundraising effort, GoFundMe has temporarily suspended the campaign until the full truth is made clear. Donors wishing to request a refund may do so at: /contact

First and foremost the GoFundMe Team would like to wish the very best to 3-year-old Victoria Wilcher while she recovers from her injuries. While the controversy surrounding Victoria's fundraising campaign is unfortunate, it's important to remember that the investigation is ongoing and the party representing the campaign is standing by the original story. GoFundMe's internal safeguards have been activated, placing a hold on the account balance until the investigation is complete.

Though the majority of giving on GoFundMe occurs directly between friends and family, viral campaigns will receive the attention and support of the greater public. Donors should always exercise caution before giving to GoFundMe campaigns. With over a million campaigns created and over $330M raised, it's not feasible for GoFundMe to research the claims presented by each and every user. Accordingly, donors should only give to people they personally know and trust - advice stated on each and every GoFundMe campaign.
