Help request. My brother has Stage 4 colorectal cancer.
His life insurance has refused to pay out on a technicality, meaning he and his loved ones cannot afford the mortgage on their home.
I've never asked for anything in return for infosec stuff, but if you have anything spare, please chuck it this direction instead:

Do they accept donations only from the UK, or do they just assume that anyone from Bulgaria must be a crook? I tried first with a debit card, then with a credit card, and after fighting CAPTCHAs for half an hour I always ended with an error message ("there was an error with your request" or something like that).

Sending sympathy & empathy to all of the family; I've got stage 4 prostate cancer so I've got some idea of how you all must be feeling.

in reply to Kevin Beaumont • • •sorry mate, that sucks so hard. sent in a donation.
I noticed a couple of replies mentioning struggling to get past the captcha - I ran into that too and it seems to be limited to mobile browsers. I've raised it with GoFundMe support, they're looking into it. so if you get folks saying "I want to donate but can't", desktop browser is the way to point them.

Unknown parent • • •for me it was failing on both Firefox and Chrome under Android 14, so I think it's just blanket broken on the captcha provider's side right now.
I'll chase them up to get it fixed anyway. one less thing on your plate. ❤

I do my best to see all posts of the people I follow, but this one escaped me somehow. But luckily I wondered what @hacks4pancakes what replying to and saw it then.

If it’s any consolation, I know a guy that developed stage 4 leukemia just before COVID, and we spoke with him this week.

You wouldn't believe what the trick was... I manually reduced the default GoFundMe "tip" from 14.5% to zero. 🤣
