The 'Help Karmelo Anthony Official Fund' has garnered over $514,000 in donations after Anthony was allegedly involved in a murder at a track meet in Texas. Despite facing first-degree murder charges, Anthony claims he acted in self-defense. GiveSendGo is the only platform supporting his fundraising campaign, unlike GoFundMe and Kickstarter. Co-founder Jacob Wells expressed mixed feelings about hosting the campaign, prioritizing principles over personal pride, while confirming that only campaigns deemed illegal are typically removed from the site.
How proud am I of this campaign? I don’t, I wouldn’t say I’m proud at all. I have no pride in having this being on GiveSendGo. I just have appreciation for what GiveSendGo is doing in the midst of these tragic moments.
I have only ever removed campaigns for causes deemed illegal, or raising money under false pretenses.
