Just because people choose to be kind doesn’t mean that you can take advantage of this kindness. That sounds about right, doesn’t it, dear Pandas? Unfortunately, some people have so little shame that they flaunt their greed and beg for money openly. In the digital age, that’s easier to do now than ever.
For example, tons of people create GoFundMe projects to try and weasel out some money from naive altruists. That’s where the aptly named ‘Don’tFundMe’ subreddit comes in. It’s an online community that names and shames the most egregious and greedy GoFundMe campaigns.
Some of these projects are as shameless as they can be. However, some others are clearly tongue-in-cheek social commentaries, attempts to have some fun and brighten people’s day. Scroll down to see what the GoFundMe landscape is really like, dear Pandas. And be sure to tell us about the worst campaigns you’ve ever laid eyes on.
Bored Panda reached out to the founder and moderator of the subreddit to have a chat about the online group's history and dumb GoFundMe campaigns.
"I was inspired to create /r/DontFundMe after seeing a college friend post a GoFundMe for a Christian mission trip overseas that, at worst, looked suspiciously like a vacation and, at best, looked to not be especially beneficial to the community it was supposed to help. Her campaign was never posted to the subreddit and only served as the initial inspiration," they shared with us.

The founder of the online community told Bored Panda that they have no idea why the people behind the most egregious campaigns aren't ashamed of themselves.
"Maybe part of the reason is that these donations are entirely voluntary, so they don't have the same level of guilt as, for example, a pharmaceutical company holding lifesaving medication hostage behind outrageous costs," the moderator mused why some folks have an easy time begging for money on GoFundMe.

Bored Panda was curious what the mod would change about GoFundMe if they could do anything. However, they were candid that they haven't followed the platform's development over the years. Though they do have one novel idea.
"We could take all of the healthcare-related campaigns and bundle them all into one single one-day campaign, say on April 18th. We could call it 'Tax Day' and ensure that the funding is used to cover all healthcare costs for every citizen of the United States. Maybe we could even have all of the billion-dollar corporations donate to this campaign," they said. The idea sounds great. Hopefully, someone will pitch it to GoFundMe.

California-based GoFundMe lets people fundraise money for pretty much anything and everything, so long as it fits the company’s community standards. So while you might see some fairly run-of-the-mill requests to help an animal shelter or a family who has lost their home, you’ll also find some Americans begging for help because they can’t afford life-saving medication or healthcare.
Between 2010 and 2020, GoFundMe raised over 9 billion dollars, contributed by over 120 million donors. However, not every project is altruistic. Some people see the platform as a way to make a quick buck by telling a sob story. And they get called out for it by the ‘Don’tFundMe’ subreddit.

For one, as much fun as it is to poke fun at people who deserve it, the subreddit’s members are asked to blur out all identifiable info.

A Fund To Help Someone Adopt This Creature
After going through a harrowing divorce in August of 2015, a Denver woman decided that there were only two things in this world that could ever revive her happiness. The first was adopting this adorable hedgehog.
The second was collecting the $500 dollars it apparently takes to adopt an adorable hedgehog.
NsG 3 years ago
Of all the things in this article, this one is probably the one I find the least objectionable - assuming this is a domestic hedgehog, no different to adopting a cat or dog. Second assumption is that her back story is accurate, what you're actually donating to is this woman's emotional recovery. $500 is not an exorbitant amount to ask for.

A Fund For The Lady Whose Kid Jumped Off The Roof
Things got a little testy when the mom of a 19-year-old girl went on GoFundMe to ask the web for $4,200 to pay the girl's rent for six months. Why? Because the young lady couldn't work due to injury.
Why again? Because she jumped off of the roof, attempting to land in the pool. Genius.

I'm not sure what the problem is here. The biggest mistake was living in America where the Government gives you no support, healthcare or work rights
Candia Lee 3 years ago
No. The girl hurt herself and mom wants you to pay her rent because the girl can't work. She didn't hurt herself at work so no worker rights involved. She just graduated HS so she doesn't have enough time in the job to have earned 6 months of benefits. She should move back home while she heals.

This was taken down right away, thank goodness. The little p***k had been busted at least 4 times (some reports say 6 times) for reckless driving. The picture of the car he hit looks like a train ran into it, it's absolutely horrific. (It flipped 5 times.) He had only a cut on his hand and tried to tell the police the other car hit HIM. I. Just. Can't. He's set for trial this year and could get 75 years. I hope he gets every single one, no parole. Being targeted because he is from Somalia MY ASS.
April Stephens 3 years ago
I'm sure it's very scary to his family to know that he's in jail facing charges as a black man in America (assuming that)... But unfortunately for them, if he's guilty, being "judged harshly" will be just, not unjust as they say. I don't know legally if you can be prosecuted for planning to flee the country on the evidence from a GoFundMe page, but it also seems like a really stupid idea for the family to say/insinuate that he is going to flee the country.
Karen Lyon 3 years ago (edited)
@April Stephens: His name is Ahmed Abdi, the crash was in Green Bay, Wisconsin. Go look it up. I understand your point, and I promise you, it's absolutely irrelevant. Race and ethnicity don't even enter into it, his family's claims to the contrary notwithstanding. His family isn't worried about him being treated unfairly, they want him to be able to avoid repercussions. Period. This is all about an out-of-control little S**T who refused to learn from his previous mistakes and who deserves worse than he will probably get. Meanwhile a man in Panama City has to deal with the loss of his mother, sister, and brother-in-law, who were simply out and about, and stopping to get gas. Sympathy should go to him, not the family who wanted the man responsible for those deaths to run from the trouble he brought on himself.

And to me it shows that these women are motivated and have skills that are untapped and underappreciated. If only legit companies could reach this market they would make bookoo bucks and these women would actually be able to support their families! If I were a corporation that needed remote workers I would be all over these MLM moms. They work hard and deserve to actually get paid for real.
