Help Longtime Journalist Bounce Back from Fraud and Layoffs

Donation protected
Joe Rutland has had a long career in newspapers and other large-scale publications as a writer, editor and communicator. Despite his success, like other journalists, he has endured several layoffs.

Last week, after searching for a job for three months, Joe was hired as a full-time copywriter by a venture capital company. After depositing checks from the company for equipment, he learned that the checks and the company were fraudulent. Along with being a victim of a scam, he now was out of a large sum of money.

This GoFundMe aims to help Joe recoup the money he lost in the scam and provide him with funds while he continues his job search.

Please donate what you can and share with others who might be able to help.

Thank you!
