Can GoFundMe be used for moving expenses?

Asked by jonsblond (43759points) June 29th, 2017

Please read these details.

We need medical and counseling resources for our son since he came out as transgender and the only resources are an hour away. This is the area we moved from seven years ago (it’s where Jon and I lived for 18 years) and where we have family, including my father who is living alone and could use some help.

We want to move to our old stomping grounds but we have no money for a deposit for a new rental home and our car needs some maintenance since my husband will most likely have to travel a bit for work. (We currently live less than a mile from his work which has been a blessing since our car doesn’t always want to run when we need it. Right now he can walk if he needs to.)

There have been some good job opportunities that my husband has had to pass up because of our financial situation. We will have to wait at least six months, most likely longer, to save up enough money to make this much needed move.

Do you think GoFundMe would be a good option? Loans are out of the question right now.
