Canadian truckers are currently banding together in protest of government vaccine mandates and people all over the world are standing with them in support. So much so that they’ve raised over $10 million in donations which the creator of the campaign, Tamara Lich, says will be going to take care of the truckers convoy throughout their travels. However, shortly after the campaign had raised nearly half that amount, GoFundMe froze the campaign funds from being accessed by the convoy or from being given back to donors who requested refunds. Now, GoFundMe has also paused the campaign, preventing anyone else from donating to the truckers. 

GiveSendGo Co-founder Jacob Wells recently commented in a GiveSendGo press release on GoFundMe’s appalling actions. “This is yet another example of Big Tech becoming Big Brother, dictating how people should make decisions and raise money,” he said. 

Once again, GoFundMe is making decisions on behalf of people who have every right to have their voices heard and their causes shared. GoFundMe continues to censor campaigns they don’t agree with all while withholding people’s money. 

When will people learn that GiveSendGo should be the first choice in crowdfunding? We’re no longer just the alternative to these other crowdfunding platforms. WE’RE THE BEST OPTION AND THE REPLACEMENT!

As a free speech crowdfunding platform, we believe you have the right to raise money for what you believe in and donate to who you want to support. We treat you like the adults you are. It’s not our job to control what you do with your hard-earned money. 

Thankfully, these truckers finally found GiveSendGo where they can safely raise money without fear of censorship or loss of control over their funds. 

If you would like to join the freedom movement and support these Canadian truckers, here are a few links to their GiveSendGo campaigns!

Good afternoon!

I’m Alex Shipley - GiveSendGo’s new Director of Communications! Yesterday was my first day, so I spent most of my time exploring GiveSendGo’s website and getting to know more about what makes this organization so special. 

I’m writing this post to share one of my favorite features on GiveSendGo! 

I really appreciate the ability to write prayer messages to someone running a campaign on the site and I’m sure most of you value this feature too (in fact, maybe that’s why you chose GiveSendGo!). I think this feature is an excellent way to keep God at the center of our endeavors, especially the ones we claim are for His kingdom. Prayer is always the first step we should take before doing anything else and sometimes it’s the only thing we can do, so I find this feature so vital and encouraging!

Plus, there’s nothing like the feeling of knowing someone, let alone dozens or even hundreds of people, are praying for you!

Prayer is key to our faith. In fact, it’s the vehicle in which we make our requests and supplications known to God, our Father (although he already knows our every need even before we ask). Paul says in Ephesians 6:19 to “pray at all times in the Spirit” and in 1 Thesselonians 5:16-18 he says, “Rejoice always; pray without ceasing; in everything give thanks; for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus”. 

This feature, along with GiveSendGo’s values, is what sets this organization apart as we are also called to be set apart from the world. So, I invite you to actively pray for those using this site (and even those who are donating to active campaigns), whether that’s writing out a prayer message on someone’s campaign or taking some time out of your day to actively pray for that person(s). 

God Bless, 

Alex Shipley
