/u/BombayAbyss on If you are going to donate to someone on Go Fund Me, do you research for the validity of their request? Or just blindly donate?

Wait 5 sec.

I don't usually donate, but a niece was in a terrible car crash and needs support. I put in the amount I wanted to donate and GFM added a $40 "tip" for themselves. She got a check instead. I just hope she isn't too young to know what to do with a check.
