Turning To Strangers For Help
You must have noticed the rise of GoFundMe and other similar platforms. People turn to these websites when they need help paying for hospital bills. It is touching to hear that others are willing to help strangers in need! Nerd Wallet even said that $930 million out of the $2 billion raised on GoFundMe in 2015 went to medical bills.
Troubling Stats
While there are successful campaigns on the website, the truth is that many of them don’t meet their goals. A NerdWallet report says that only a tenth of the total campaigns reach the money they need. If this does not work for them, they turn to the help of charities like the one that Steve Harvey founded.
