It's unfortunate that some have used this thread to call others names, so will close it here.
Regardless, the only thing that you can do is to do your due diligence and attempt to investigate where your money is going. Donating money to a gofundme account is a crap shoot IF you don't have any personal knowledge of the individuals involved. Gofundme does ZERO investigation of the people behind the funds and they have zero control over where the money goes. Plus Gofundme gets a healthy percentage on all donations. Otherwise, more established organizations like the Red Cross, VISAR, etc., might be a safer bet.
