I Excellent Support — Fast, Clear, and Helpful
I had a really smooth experience getting everything set up for my fundraiser. I needed help with ID verification and making a few changes, and Lily made the process easy from start to finish.
She was clear, patient, and easy to communicate with, which made a big difference. Everything was handled quickly and professionally, and I was able to complete all the steps without any issues.
Overall, great customer support and a very straightforward process. I appreciate the help — thank you, Lily.
Recently
Recently, I emailed regarding a position I recently applied for. I wanted to follow up on the application for to show that I am truly interested. I'm a mom with a tight schedule that requires a wfh. I've found it to be extremely difficult getting hired even with the experience necessary for the position I'm applying for. Jose was very kind throughout the entire process he provided a lot of valuable information to me. I really believe he should receive compensation increase as incredible customer service is rare now a days. He really is an asset to this company.
Great guidance
Great guidance , very nice staff ! Best help getting things worked out .
This company is dishonest
This company is dishonest. It is a for profit company. They could care less about helping a young widow or anyone else. Just give the person cash / you can find an address if you really want to!!
Jose was very responsive and kind
Jose was very responsive, kind, understanding and very patient. He made the stress of everything melt away.

Well you paused my account for no reason and when I tried to find out why. You guys gave me the run around. I still don’t know why.
Without social media they won’t put you out front.

Standard replies
Standard replies! I will never ever donate via Gofundme again! They just do no care no matter how much money you donated. After one year you won’t get your money back! Even though it is pretty clear that something went very wrong. It is very disappointing.
GoFundMe is a great platform.
GoFundMe offers simple tools for creating a campaign. If you have any difficulties, they can help you through a live chat. They do everything they can to help.
I'm grateful.
Good luck to everyone!
Sincerely,

Professional experience with live online chat agent
The online chat support person who helped me was very efficient and professional. When I explained that I had very little time to complete what I needed to do, they immediately understood the situation and took the right steps. The problem was solved within minutes. I really appreciated the quick and effective help.

It is difficult to express in words my gratitude for GoFundMe. And the organization that helped save my dog's life. As I was unemployed and still am fighting to find a job. And then suddenly my dog goes into survival mode. I had to give her CPR. Then overnight an Emergency hospital for animals. Where the price was quoted as $8000.
So many people helped. GoFundMe was/is a major part of her survival. She is next to me now alive. And I am hustling to find work. A major part in saving her life. She wouldn't be alive without GoFundMe. She would not be here. And the hard-working medical people that helped in this crisis. Family & people I've never met; I am without words. The highest level of gratitude and humility.
Thank you so much GoFundMe.

Great experience
Great experience. The only think is not sure what the tip was for and who it went too. I did message it because it was added to my donation and didn't see it before it was to late to retract and they corrected it quickly.
