My fundraiser for emergency medical expenses and repairs

[DefiantSix]

Doesn't the lefty website gofund-scam charge like 4-5% on all the withdrawn money?
As desperate as MVD seems to be for weed money, doesn't seem he would sacrifice anything, let alone 4%
I dunno, I could be wrong

If I remember correctly, GFM charges the panhandler a fee when they withdraw the money, as well as a fee to the donor when they make a donation. They're definitely not hurting for "beer & travel money".

Someone with credit cards that probably charge 22%+ interest doesn't think about that.

It was of those things that was "you know what would be funny..." and then "edit....edit...edit....edit...."lol

Not a problem landofconfusion80, I chuckled at your post myself, then ...

Deciided to razz you as well!

As for Matty-boy ...

As my mother would have said, "I wouldn't give that lazy no-good the scraping of my nails, let alone a penny of my money!"

And frankly, neither would I!!!

What does it cost to make a pledge of a donation then withdraw it because you realize you’ve been scammed?

The way I understand it--and I may misunderstand it, so if anybody wishes to correct, please do so--gofundme takes a goodly chunk out of the funds raised.  If a donor wants a refund and the fundraiser is still active, gofundme gives the donor back all of his money.  If the sponsor of a fundraiser wishes to withdraw proceeds before the fundraiser is over, gofundme allows him to do so, but amputates a substantial chunk of that.

Have been re-reading this thread for macabre amusement, and it got me to thinking. I don't recall a single soul either here or at CU in the past 18 years EVER starting a "Go Fund Me" for any circumstance.

Well, except for this sarcastic one:

If I stand up in here in the United terminal at Reagan airport and ask if any of you lovely ladies would grab me a beer and make me a sandwich.

Look, I'm surrounded by 95% women returning from the rally/protest, most of whom were clobbered by the ugly stick. Just trying to get back to the Midwest safely.

Yes, I attended both the Inauguration and the Women's Rally.  Much more on that after my safe return.  Anyone offering some healing white light or pictures of your hands?

A valiant effort. Kudos to you.

Don't worry, he's greasing them up for another one.

Just an update
Social Security disability called today and they sounded happy. They were just checking on when my hearing test is - it is August 13 at Costco. My friend will take me since I am not a member. I don’t know if the tone of the conversation means anything, but I hope it does.

DU has been wonderful giving me the support I need while I sort things out. Words can’t express how wonderful DU has been. I am still in a hole but what was given in the last GoFundMe is giving me some time. My mom and I had a nice middle class lifestyle for a long time and it has been a hard adjustment. It is like we didn’t know how to be different. But things will be better for us if we make uncomfortable changes - both in our budget and seeking services that can help.

Still talking to an aunt through Messenger, but she is uncomfortable with how we broke communications off. Having a little family back would be nice.

I really hope to have good updates soon. I never meant to dismiss anything - if you felt dismissed, I am sorry. Mom and I need better times and are exploring opportunities.

Some good political news about the raid on Trump’s place helps my mood.

How can social security sound "happy" when all they know about him is his application, as he hasn't had the hearing examination yet.

I don't understand how they can be either "happy" or "sad" about it.

Matty Boy needs to remember that the Biden administration has been coming down hard on applications based upon partial hearing, and alleged perceptual disorders.  And that he's under 40 years old doesn't help, nor that he never had a job where he paid into the system. 

And they just hired a lot of auditors to investigate claims.

It's the Biden administration making it hard on him.  Too bad.

10. Anything yet

11. Yes, they called to say they got the test results

It was on the answering machine. I will call tomorrow to ask some more questions.

What a mess I am in. There won’t be much coming in next month and I owe this Uber driver for helping us out. Relative wouldn’t help and friend doesn’t have more money.

First, who the hell still has an "answering machine"? Im pretty sure, somewhere, way back, MVD said he didnt have a landline. Cell phone only.

Secondly. With Uber. Like other ride share and of course Taxis, you pay at the time of service. How can you owe an Uber driver for helping you out? Unless the Uber driver did it as a favor off the clock so to speak.

Thirdly. Poor Matt has tapped out the Friend, and the Relative wont be deceived.

Im pretty sure the next series of diddlings are about to befall Muppets.

Matty Boy appears to be hitting rock bottom.

Perhaps he should consider, as many of those in desperate straits have, selling his sexual favors.

What do you think this entire thread has been about coach?
Matt has been Fuc*ing the DUmmies over for about a year now.

Luckily there a plenty of primitives that identify as male that would be thrilled to fund such a venture

20. No kidding

It has taken forever.

I don’t feel bad about the Uber friend. I have given him more than I can afford for next month. Plus a free vacuum, freezer, smart watch and my old iPad.

So he paid the Uber driver with some of his moms stuff. Nice. 

Lurking Uber driver, if you are real, and you see this. Please take note. You will never get real money from Matt Dubois. Cut your losses now and forget who these people are.

He is letting things cool down. Thats for sure. Probably hoping the daily bong hitters forget about it all, before he jumps back into campaign mood. But he better not wait to long. The mood might seriously sour during mid-terms. If that happens, aint no DUmmies going to be donating their monthly stipend to his lifestyle.

16. Not sure

It wouldn’t be a lot but anything would help.

I have seen some possible rides for Medicaid recipients. With mom on Medicare I feel there should be some for her too. Still looking and am hopeful.

A lot to think about. Kind of taking a DU break while I try to get things better.

Free vacuum?  Well that sucks.
