Well since I tweeted about it, and that's what you all voted for, I decided to donate the $104 to the couple I know that lost their home and three pets in a house fire. Before donating, I had to do a little research on YouCaring. I found this review on the fundraiser website, that was interesting. It gives a bit of information on how it works. Basically, people donate and who ever is set up to receive those funds gets the money.

There is a 3% transaction fee that is actually added at the checkout when you make your donation. At first I thought that the transaction fees would be taken off at the end of the fundraiser time frame, but when I was making the donation, it actually calculated it at the checkout. So I typed in how much I wanted to donate, and it calculated the transaction fees. Today there has been a little over $1500 collected for them! It is so awesome to see my community come together to help these people that have been volunteering hours of their time for their community for the past 18 years.
Thanks for the support guys!
