AIBU GoFundMe addiction

I've recently become addicted to a Gofundme campaign. Every time I press refresh the total raised has jumped up and I don't seem to be able to stop.

I'm trying to stay within Mumsnet rules here, so obviously I can't link or promote it.

Does anyone else have this enjoyable problem?

Just donated. This is exciting!

DragonMamma · 13/01/2018 16:51

I’ve just donated Smile

PurpleCrowbar · 13/01/2018 16:57

Donated.

Not shared. Last time I did similar it brought down an actual shitstorm of abuse. I'm just not quite brave enough yet Confused

MrSlant · 13/01/2018 17:02

Donated.

But thanks OP, I started reading thinking 'how ridiculous' and now...

5,305

Raised by 272 people in 21 hours

You know what, I would love that to say women - because it is, the vast majority is women donating.

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 13/01/2018 17:10

And I shared on facebook, because sod it, it's that important, and I don't care.

I'm not brave - facebook is almost exclusively family, and a couple of ex-colleages - and I'm fairly sure that the only one who might even slightly care, who is a gay bloke, is gender critical.

Thanks MrSlant

That's Saturday night sorted out for all of us.

I'm very appreciative of the women behind this campaign.

Just donated - thanks OP

BatShite · 13/01/2018 17:20

Is it opk to link tweets about this brilliasnt campaign/

BatShite · 13/01/2018 17:21

Wow.

Is it ok to link tweets speaking about this brilliant fundraiser? If not my single post can be deleted, not the thread

twitter.com/msjenniferjames/status/951913077305413633

Still not understanding why direct links are not allowed. Such an important issue.

BatShite · 13/01/2018 17:21

Also 5 and a half grand raised already. Clearly a matter a lot of people care about.

PocketCoffeeEspresso · 13/01/2018 17:22

Although I donated I wasn't brave enough to share. Not feeling very bulletproof right now

God, that is absolutely fine - hell, it took me 12 hours to decide that I didn't care and to change my mind, and I'm not exposing myself to anything really.
