    Explain the medical need in simple terms and add clear photos or video where appropriate so people understand what support is needed.

  • Complete verification early

    Add relevant medical or hospital documents and trusted treasurers to strengthen confidence and prepare for withdrawals.

  • Share early and consistently

    Give your community time to understand the need, contribute and share the fundraiser with others.

  • Keep your community updated

    Share progress and important milestones, and take the opportunity to thank the people standing with you.
