Homeless Man Gets More Than He Ever Dreamed Of, Only To Lose It All

Homelessness is a common issue amongst veterans in the U.S. They often suffer from PTSD, have trouble adjusting back to civilian life, and must find work in an already competitive job market with no recent relevant experience. Though many organizations to help vets do exist, many fly under the radar and end up on the streets. When one woman found herself in such times of trouble, a homeless veteran came to her rescue, and she and her boyfriend seemed eternally grateful. However, the couple who started off with a helping hand soon became the veteran’s worst enemies… Family pictures always look joyful, but not every holiday picture is what it seems. The couple on the right showed a big act of kindness to the man on the left, but this story doesn’t have such a happy ending. It all ...

YouTuber posts heartbreaking video after his $18K Lego collection was ransacked

YouTuber republicattak loves his Lego collection. You can see that in basically every vlog he posts, and his creations have given him so much joy since he started collecting the plastic blocks 14 years ago. But in a video posted to YouTube on Friday, titled simply “Bye,” it was clear his channel was falling apart after he revealed that his Lego collection, estimated at $18,000, had been ransacked and destroyed. The video quickly went viral, piling up more than 600,000 page views as of this writing—most of his videos average between 50-200 page views per day, but he’s added about 13,000 new subscribers in the past few days, bringing his subscriber base to more than 18,000, according to Social Blade. And now, a GoFundMe has been set up to help him recover. In the vlog, an emotional rep...

GoFundMe campaigns raise $700K—and counting—for Christine Blasey Ford

GoFundMe campaigns have raised more than $700,000 in donations for Christine Blasey Ford, ABC News reports. Multiple crowdfunding campaigns were launched to raise money for Ford after she came public earlier this month with sexual assault accusations against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh. On Thursday, both Ford and Kavanaugh testified about the accusations before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Another page meant to cover her “security costs” has raised more than $200,000. After being identified publicly as Kavanaugh’s accuser, Ford faced death threats, was impersonated online, and had to move with her family and hire private security, the New Yo...

DACA renewals cost $495—and GoFundMe is making it easier to raise those funds

As multiple national lawsuits attempt to either dissolve the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program or bring it back to its original purpose of protecting undocumented youth brought to the U.S. as children, DACA recipients themselves are preparing for the worst. Undocumented people who’ve never had DACA aren’t currently allowed to apply, but people with one year left of their two-year status are being encouraged to reapply as soon as possible, in the hopes that they’ll be protected for another two years should a court decide to pause renewals or end the program altogether. Each time a recipient reapplies for a renewal, though, they’re required to pay $495 to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services. So, many of them are creating crowdfunding pages to assist with the fe...
