Dear Gofundme ,
after attentively reading the terms and conditions, I do not see the article prohibiting me to spend the donated fund for a chemotherapy outside of my country of primary residence.
Could you please point the related article to my attention.

In all fairness, while I won't support a GFM for his cancer, I will contribute to a GFM for his cremation so his loved on es (or those that must tolerate him) won't get stuck with that bill.

I think this cancer bit is a scam for attention as mirrored in his 134,586 other posts.

I can confirm this.

Also, I sincerely hope that this "scam reporting from the USA" did not come from a member here at AR. That would be a pretty low blow.

After 135,000 posts attacking many here, the USA, and our way of life, coupled with endless insults and foul mouthed attacks, maybe some here should file complaints with Go Fund Me. After all, this cancer scam, coupled with his hatred for Putin may be a way to funnel money to Ukraine's military. GFM is set up, we dontate, cancer money is used to fund Ed's political views. Ed has one of his many laughs and mocks at the people he hates.

I think Ed is just pulling our chain. After re reading my post, I've got an idea...

I would like to know why GoFundMe is giving Edmond Huet such a hard time when he is trying to get funds for life-saving chemotherapy. Although I have heard of your platform for some time now, I have personally never used GFM, either as s donor or as a user, but I was planning to use it to help Edmond. Based on your strange treatment of his campaign this past few days, and the on-and-off suspension of his account etc, I have decided to donate through another channel. You have done considerable harm to your brand name as a result of treating the comments of obvious trolls (cal pappas, for example) as some kind of authority that supersedes the documentary evidence that Edmond has provided more than once at this point, confirming his person and his purpose.

Here is my testimony on his behalf, as the founder of Eastern Economist, Ukraine's first English-language business and investment weekly (1994-2003) and a professional freelance translator and editor:
(1) I have known Edmond since 2015. He has never been involved in raising funds for the military here in Ukraine in all that time, as he himself was operating on a volunteer basis as a weapons specialist and focused on fighting corruption in the defense sector.
(2) Edmond recently underwent bladder surgery in Lviv for recurring cancer and needs to start taking chemotherapy within the next 2-3 weeks and for three years altogether if he hopes to live more than 3-4 more years.
(3) Edmond is currently staying in my guest house in Yaremche free of charge to help him preserve what little finances he has to combat his disease.
I ask you to stop aggravating the situation of a person who is already suffering enough physically and whose life is in danger if he does not start treatment soon.
Thank you!

Sent now to support at gofund me.

I am writing to tell you that Edmond Huet, who has been suffering with recurring bladder cancer, is a dear friend on Facebook. We share a love for cats and a love for Ukraine. He fell in love with Ukraine and has been living there as a consultant without any steady pay. His medical costs have become more than he can handle and he created a gofundme page to help raise money for his three years of chemotherapy that he has to undergo. His surgeon is a brilliant Lviv specialist and has waived some fees, but the chemotherapy is costly and Edmond has to rely on his friends to pay for the treatments.

That somebody should claim that his gofundme campaign is a scam is preposterous. I have a friend who is now a neighbor of his and knows his circumstances. A brother in law of mine who lives in Lviv visited him at the hospital where he had his surgery for the bladder cancer. Edmond's need for financial assistance is real and legitimate and the delay that you have created by limiting or suspending his account is harmful to him and hurts us who love him and want him to get the good medical intervention that is available to him in Lviv.

Please make his funds fully available as soon as possible. And please be aware that Edmond's political views are his free speech stemming from love for democracy and for a wish to see a democratic and prosperous Ukraine. The hateful and paranoid statements made about him are egregious and reflect some kind of distortion of reality.

Sincerely, Halyna Barannik

Are you saying you did report it? That would be a low blow like Ron says.

SS: No. I didn't report anything. It's none of my business and I don't care. I just wanted to yank his chain a bit.

Withdrawal of fund suspended until I can prove it is not used for donations to fighters in Ukraine,
you see the writing on the wall?

I ask my friends, especially those who are public figures, VIPs, to write an email to Gofundme, support@gofundme.com , using reference "Edmond's angels, 3 years chemotherapy" if possible with their letterhead or link to verifiable public profile, explaining how they know me, my combats to help Ukraine for 5 years, my combat against cancer, how I am targeted on social networks, my 37 FB suspensions since Maidan, smear attacks by useful idiots, etc

There is a concerted action in US to block my campaign, the heads are a pro Putin trumpshevik and a former Soviet now a US citizen, as it appears.

À GoFundMe
Bonjour Seth
This is turning to a bad joke.
The campaign has been launched to help me purchase chemo.
The window of opportunity to start the most important 6 first rounds of chemo after the two surgeries for wich I sent the histology analysis reports and the Lviv Medical University final hospitalisation report and advice by Dr Dmytro Vorobets, this window is closing.
The danger of recurrence of tumours that were High Grade G3 as indicated in histology report, is now high.
Due to non ending troubles to get the donated funds, a friend lends me the money to pay for cheaper chemo that my companion Alevtina Dranitsina, a molecular biology researcher with a doctorate and a position with Ukraine's National University in Kyiv, who sent you an email, could locate and have it delivered through a local Kyiv pharmacy working with her institute.
This is a discounted lot since it is due to expire within 6 months, 15 03 2019, as opposed to recent lots expiring by 2020 or 2021.
I hope it will free the funds as I have to reimburse my lender and pay for the analysis prior to every one of the 6 instillations within the next six weeks, the preparation of the instillation, the instillations, and the post instillations cystoscopies, plus the travels necessary to the place where instillations will be done and then 12 more instillations to follow.
Please find in attached document the document you request.
Best regards

Edmond

Now, either Edmond has the money, but just doesn't want to spend it on his healthcare (and has lied to Don as well), or he does not have the money and, unlike you, who has the wherewithall to get a signature or secured loan, has nowhere else to turn, having presumably exhausted the resources of friends and relatives.
So, which is it? No one is making you contribute, but unlike Cal Pappas and boarkiller, who are not going to contribute because they just don't like Edmond, you seem to be trying to hide your feelings behind some kind of rationalization so that you don't look bad ie. looking for an excuse not to contribute! Now, which is it? Why do you care what other people think? Why not just say: "I don't like full page glamour shots so I am not going to contribute".

my concerns are that scams are rampant on the internet these days, and that others here feel the same way. NOT SAYING THAT THIS IS. but suspected links to a foreign military etc in any way shape or form raise red flags. i have no feelings toward this guy at all. and since we live in what used to be a country where people were free to express their thoughts, I DID. why are you against that?? why do others opinions offend you, especially when they aren't about you?
