> 
> **Pros**: You meet your goals quickly and it’s useful for those that are really in hardship it is a great way to reach goal for much needed service

### "Great for people in times of need; beware of scammers" — 3.0/5

> **Gracie** | *December 1, 2024* | Individual & Family Services | Recommendation rating: 6.0/10
> 
> **Pros**: This is helpful for people in times of need. GoFundMe’s are easy to share and spread the word for others to donate. Payment is simple and easy to navigate; donations are public so the creator of the GoFundMe can view the supporters.
> 
> **Cons**: Monitoring is needed, people need to watch out for scams as they are common. Unsure about refunds but assume donations are non-refundable or difficult to receive.
> 
> Overall, this platform is helpful for those during a tragedy or difficult time of need. The program can be shared on several different social media platforms to spread the word and allow others to donate. If moderators were hired to filter out the “scammy” GoFundMe’s or look in depth into reported GoFundMe’s, the program may be used more.
