I want to be abundantly clear that I am NOT here asking for money. I am here asking for advice on how to make my GoFundMe more successful. If doing this breaks any forum rules, please let me know so I can fix or delete this post. Mods, if you need to delete it, feel free to do so. I will understand.
My GoFundMe is to help my family get back on our feet. Our home was burglarized on Thanksgiving. The thugs took virtually everything of value. My wife cannot work because the thieves took all our computer equipment, electronic devices, our safe, etc. It is just too painful to list. My PhD research is gone - the working copy and the backups were taken.
We have met with limited success in getting to our fundraising goal. Would any of you be willing to look at the campaign and suggest changes that might be able to help it be more successful? I will send you the link via if you wish to review it. Do you have any suggestions on how to target social media to help this get to people whom may be able to help? We are truly in a bad place and have to get this going and soon.
If I have crossed any forum rules, please let me know so I can take corrective action. Mods, if I crossed any lines, please message me so I know what I did wrong and aim not to do it again. If this post is so far across the line, please delete it. Right now, my mental state is that I do not understand a lot of things that I normally would.
No matter what, have a Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! We hope we can turn ours around and do so too.
