    Hi everyone, I now have my specific appointment times for pre/post-ops and the specific time for my surgery. Now that I have specific dates and times, my girlfriends and I have booked a place to stay and started to make travel plans. We plan to drive down the day before my pre-op appointment and once I have been cleared medically they will drive us back home. Thank you for your continued support, Jasmine

    On April 14, Johnathan had skin grafts put on his right leg. At this point we are waiting for his skin to heal to do the remaining skin grafts to his left leg, right arm, and torso, in the meantime, these areas will stay covered with donor skin. His left arm is healing well and quickly after the skin grafts he received last week. In the last couple of days John has opened his eyes and appeared to look in the direction of his brother. This is uplifting of his families spirits and hope as it shows Johnathan is still there and will recover from this traumatic event. As you can see in the most recent photo of John, his face and neck are also healing well.

    Update on Rachelle! We are one week removed from treatment #2. This last treatment introduced a new drug to help strengthen her bones. Symptoms have been less severe but still persistent over the last week. Overall our spirits have been high. Thank you all again for your kindness and support. We love you all!

    Hi everyone, I am so happy to announce that our fundraiser has exceeded our goal, and Sherry's eviction case was dismissed this afternoon. The additional funds that were raised will go to partially reimburse her for the $88 in court costs she incurred in the case. I can't express how touched I am by so many people generously providing assistance at the absolute last minute to help a vulnerable stranger in need. Your generosity during such a difficult time in the world and here in our country gives me hope and I am extremely grateful to everyone. Thank you!!!

    McGee had his follow up appointment this week and his recheck. He had an elevated liver enzyme through all of this called ALT. His ALT should have been around 82, and it was 1200!!!!! At the recheck it was down to 150 so we are getting closer to where he needs to be. He is also showing improvements everyday but is still on antibiotics and steroids until he is cleared by the vet. Now the road block is find a suitable diet he likes that will control his irritable bowel disease. So far he has turned down everything from hydrolyzed to duck to lamb. The next try is kangaroo. I’m hoping it works. We are feeling very thankful for everyone who has been supportive of this journey. He is my little soul cat and is un replaceable.

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.
