Their hearts are in the right place (places?), and they mean well....
.....but there's only one place the "hey, kids, let's put a show in the barn" business planning model works....
If only someone would create a museum about roller coasters, maybe they could have bought a few pieces at the auction to donate...

Huh. Interesting. From an admittedly brief tour of their FAQs, it seems like once you say you're donating X number of dollars, the recipient can access and withdraw the funds. But I couldn't find anything about refunding donations.

Oddly enough, when I clicked on BrettV's link I got a screen saying Campaign Not Found, so I'm without the advantage of knowing what everyone is talking about. On the subject of GFM, I was introduced to it by a friend who, like me, can ill afford the high cost of veterinary care. I will probably start my own GFM campaign, as I cannot afford to pay for one of my cats to have dental work ($400-$500) and renew my gym membership ($467) without leaving myself short. Yeah, I'm sure some would say forget the gym but both my own well-being and my cat's are important.

Yeah. One of my best friends who lives in Orlando started a GoFundMe for the local stray cat's vet bills. It saved the cat's life. I thought that was a good use of the website.

Coincidentally I had the GFM page open from before it was taken down on my iPad, so I managed to get these screenshots, although I was unsure how to get them in order. Enjoy
Originally the description was only the first big paragraph. "How the 30k will be use?" was added a day or so later after people kept questioning it. (For the time being, it's still in Google's cache.)

Another good way to save money is by not buying plane tickets to ride coasters, especially if you aren't sure they'll be open yet.
