THANK YOU Feeling overwhelmed

Yesterday a very kind Redditor donated the full amount to my gofundme so I can pay my bills. I’m still stunned about it and I just wanted to share how grateful and how blessed I feel in regards to the wonderful person donating that amount to a complete stranger. I have been through alot these past few years. Being a single mother with 0 help/support is hard and a little daunting at times. I have been feeling the lowest of the lows lately, so having that sort of help right now made me feel not as bad. Thank you for being so kind and generous. You have no idea how much that donation means to me.

That's so nice.. but quick question .. if your gofundme was totally fulfilled.. why do you still have it up and accepting more than what you needed?

I’m not accepting more than what I need. Gofundme takes a good chunk out of donations before they transfer funds to a persons bank account. Which takes up to 48 hours after verifying. Did you not know this?

It takes a bit for processing I believe and pulling a fundraiser during that period can cause problems.

It also can take awhile to update after disabling donations. If you disable it, it won’t allow anyone to donate but it will look like donations are still being accepted.
