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!

I mean no disrespect to you Conner but that site looks like a virtual "Pan Handling" site and as such completely turns me off

I don't know your situation or employment state or your ability to get employment which is why my comment is not aimed at you but the site that facilitates this, I am assuming they also take a percentage ??

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.

Edit:
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.

read a little more, there are the fixed percentages and then there is a fixed 30c per donation on top of that. for a coffee donation (1$ - 2$) this represents 15 - 30% ...
