  1. Hey, it's Sarah! Just wanted to personally thank you all for helping us begin to raise funds to bring this into reality! Marcel was up on the land today with some others, and the garlic we planted in the fall is already sprouting! We still have a long way to go, but one day at a time!

    We are in a holding pattern this weekend heading to take off early next week. He has had his IV removed, will get the drain bulb removed also. He is heading back to United early next week for "Boot camp" as they call it, which scared him a bit. He is better now that he talked with someone from United. He will be going to Courage Kenny at United for about 3 weeks. It is 3 hours of therapy broken up by meals. Visitors are asked to come after 4:30 as during the day will be a lot of work on him. I ended up going to the hospital early this week as well on top of life, I was very sick and went via Ambulance to find out I have Colitis. Hoping these symptoms go away fast as I want to be there for Johnny and watch him progress. Thank you God for my mom being willing and able to be with him daily.
    Please, I still need help, keep helping me, I ask you, we will be very grateful to all of you, sorry for so much trouble
    Thank you so much to everyone who has supported Reka so far. I am reaching out because I am raising the goal to 12,000 dollars to give her a real chance to heal, the 10,000 dollar goal still has not been met but we are close! As you know, Reka is self employed and she has already felt the pressure to get back to work much sooner than she should. The reality is that she cannot actually do her job right now and trying to push through it is putting her recovery at risk. She is in a tough spot where she is choosing between her health and her livelihood. This new goal would cover her basic needs so she can stop working and focus on recovery. Please share this with anyone you can to help us get her to our goal. If you're able, even if you've previously donated, even five more dollars helps to push this forward. It really makes a difference for her. Thank you so much for all of the support, let's keep pushing to get Reka back to stability.

Frequently Asked Questions

A Location Community is an evergreen, place-based page on GoFundMe that brings together fundraising activity which originates in a specific city, region, or geography. It's designed to help people discover what members of their community are raising funds for - near or far - and see the collective impact of generosity raised.

Location Communities aggregate fundraisers connected to a specific place. Today, campaigns appear based on the organizer's location. This means you may see:

  • Fundraisers supporting someone in the same city
  • Campaigns benefiting someone in another state or country
  • National or global causes organized by someone locally

This reflects how giving and support actually works — people often care about things that happen everywhere, not only where they live. We are working to make sourcing more transparent so visitors understand why a fundraiser appears on a page.

Fundraisers currently appear based on where the organizer is located. Many people raise funds for loved ones outside their city, or for causes beyond their immediate geography. These are still real expressions of civic participation. To reduce confusion, we are evaluating ways to make this more evident to the users so the supporters of the Community understand how fundraisers are included.

The goal is transparency!

No. Location Communities are designed to reflect community activity — not editorial curation or endorsement by GoFundMe or local governments. These pages are a visibility layer. They show how residents are organizing and supporting one another.

Location Communities are built specifically for giving and impact. They provide:

  • Centralized discovery of local fundraisers
  • Ongoing activity updates
  • Aggregated impact metrics
  • Follow tools and notifications
  • A trusted donation infrastructure

Unlike social platforms, the focus is not conversation or algorithms designed to doomscrool or drive engagement for ad serving purposes. Communities are designed intentionally to direct people to the ongoing needs of their neighbors so that they can offer help or support by liking, sharing, or donating to a fundraiser.

No. These communities should not be used as hardship indexes. They show civic participation — moments of need and moments of generosity. The emphasis is on how residents show up for one another. They are meant to highlight resilience, action, and collective support.

Your fundraiser was added because it's connected to a shared cause or event —like a crisis, challenge, or location. Communities help bring related fundraisers together so supporters can better understand the bigger picture and find ways to help.

Being in a Community can help your fundraiser get more visibility. Supporters browsing the Community can discover your fundraiser alongside others connected to the same cause, see collective progress, and feel more confident donating as part of a trusted, organized effort. As part of helping you share your fundraiser more broadly, we may automatically cross-post certain updates you share that are relevant for the broader community.

No action was required on your part. Fundraisers are added automatically when they're clearly related to a specific cause.

Yes. If you don't want your fundraiser included, you can opt-out via the fundraiser manage page within your dashboard - simply toggle off the prompt for Allow my fundraiser to be found in search and discovery. Your fundraiser will still remain active and accessible on its own page.

Not at all. Your fundraiser stays fully yours—same goal, same donations, same updates. The Community is simply an additional way for supporters to discover and engage with your fundraiser.
