(13,545 posts)I work in the not for profit sector, and this post has a lot of red flags. My job is FUNDING organizations and campaigns, and I would stay far far away from this.
If the OP's situation is exactly how he describes, I am sorry that he is suffering anxiety about food insecurity. But there still is a reluctance to use resources (food pantries etc.) that exist to help in this situation. Red Flag #1.
Every question is met with an explanation or insistence of reaching goal. Red Flag #2
The poster has repeatedly asked for money in an emergency situation. Red Flag #3
DU should consider limiting Go Fund Me requests per poster. Make a rule about the number they are allowed to post every year/quarter whatever.
I would encourage people NOT to donate to this request unless they have a way to verify the identity of the poster.
