Computer Build Project

e14 Contributor over 10 years ago

Hello,

I would love it if you took a moment to check out my GoFundMe campaign:

Your support would mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!

According to gofundme:
While it's free to create and share your online fundraising campaign, GoFundMe will deduct a 5% fee from each donation that you receive. Since our fee is deducted automatically, you'll never need to worry about being billed or owing us any money.

Actually the figures look far worse... https://www.gofundme.com/pricing/

Large donations or small ones, everyone still will have the same percent go towards GoFundMe.
