It’s all explained on the gofundme page itself.

It is hard to find it on the site too. Top donated fund to date and it is almost impossible to locate on their site.

I saw this addressed. Apparently Reagan promoted a program to repair/improve the Statue of Liberty, and this has established the precedent that money can be contributed for a specific purpose to government agencies.

I remember there was a thread here on FR a few days ago, that seemed to indicate the funds CAN be used for the wall. Sorry I don’t have any other info.


Also recall seeing something ( article) non FR about the vet meeting with the Donald at some point

GoFundMe has also removed the description of how the funds will be used and info about the vet hosting it.

I’m very surprised that GoFundMe has EVER hosted this fund.
Maybe they didn’t think it would go anywhere past $2000.00
Now, they may be trying to shake loose of any association.

The Vet who started the fund may want to transfer the money to some other collection site, before GoFundMe starts attaching unwritten fees and conditions in order to eat away at a fund they see as Non-PC.

The government has accepted large private donations before, most recently a billionaire donated $7.5 Million  to fund half of the Washington Monument repairs in 2012; this is no different. 

Like a  majority of those American citizens who voted to elect President Donald J Trump, we voted for him to Make America Great Again. President Trump’s main campaign promise was to BUILD THE WALL. And as he’s followed through on just about every promise so far, this wall project needs to be completed still.

As a veteran who has given so much, 3 limbs, I feel deeply invested to this nation to ensure future generations have everything we have today. Too many Americans have been murdered by illegal aliens and too many illegals are taking advantage of  the United States taxpayers with no means of ever contributing to our society.

I have grandparents who immigrated to America legally, they did it the correct way and it's time we uphold our laws, and get this wall BUILT!It’s up to Americans to help out and pitch in to get this project rolling.

“If the 63 million people who voted for Trump each pledge $80, we can build the wall.” That equates to roughly 5Billion Dollars, even if we get half, that's half the wall. We can do this. 

Democrats are going to stall this project by every means possible and play political games to ensure President Trump doesn’t get his victor. They'd rather see President Trump fail, than see America succeed.  However, if we can fund a large portion of this wall, it will jumpstart things and will be less money Trump has to secure from our politicians.

This won’t be easy, but it’s our duty as citizens. This needs to be shared every single day by each of you on social media. We can do it, and we can help President Trump make America safe again!

• How will we get the funds to the right place? We have contacted the Trump Administration to secure a point of contact where all the funds will go upon completion. When we get this information secured we will update. We have many very high level contacts already helping.

Republican Representative Representative Warren Davidson has bill on the table right now HR 7207 that if passed with Gov Funding bill we can give the funds towards the wall, and with our contractual guarantee to only be used on the  wall. 

• Rep Andy Harris Introduced the Border Wall Bonds Act of 2018, if passed with the Gov Funding bill it will allow us to donate towards the wall.
this Act funds only for the construction of the wall, nothing else. 

• 100% of your donations will go to the Trump Wall. 

• We are working with a law firm on a legal document that will bind the government to using the funds for the border wall itself, nothing else.

There’s a rumor going around that none of the money will not go towards a wall and it’s a scam so folks are afraid to donate. I’ve run across several people telling me that .

For quite some time now there have been numerous GoFundMe sites for the wall. This was the first one to raise any significant money.

Thank you. I know we mailed him a check, instead of going to GFM.

They’ve done it before with both the Washington Memorial renovation contributions (big ticket donor wanted to ensure funds were used just for this) and the Statue of Liberty renovations (remember kids give a nickel)

I’m sure there is a way - just a matter of if there is the political will to “allow it”

Just to be fair — has it ever encountered anything this big before? Try to put the ocean in a teacup and see what happens.

Yes, there have been several disaster relief funds in the tens of millions before. And This wall fund is the second largest they have had. There were no issues with the others.

I noticed that as well. Saw donations going through but the ticker didn’t seem to be updating.

I’m sure if the wall or whatever we’re calling it now gets funded, it would be easy to add a codicil to allow this money to be added in, but if not, you can’t just say “build me 16 million worth of fence
