Failed Received only one donation and it was from the great grandmother, no one even bothered with our story.

Great easy way to donate- Loved the ease of it. Seemed a little much when I reached my $900 and they kept putting posts to get $1000, $2000... When I only needed $900. But am so grateful For low fees also

Neat service, way too (deceptively) expensive. We had several occasions to speak with customer service and each experience was very pleasant. When the benefactor of our fund received the check for nearly ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS LESS than what the fund had raised it was very disheartening. I believe there are funds out there that will not capitalize on yours or your friends grief to this extent. Should I use a service such as this again in the future I WILL DEFINITELY PURSUE OTHER OPTIONS FIRST.

dishonesty in fundraising Giveforward allows fraud by not checking accuracy of requests-see Koltin Binford fundraising request.

My regret I am grateful for the money I received because it was extremely helpful, but I only reached half my goal. My friends and family shared my page on FB, but my friends and family were the only ones to donate, which I regret. I wish it had reached a broader audience where strangers could donate, but that never happened. I didn't want my family and friends to feel like they had to help me, which is why I didn't push my goal.
