What makes you think they are going via a UK site?
The English girl set it up, didn't she? Could she have set it up via a different country?
I don't see PT listed.
And what's the point when there was already a fund set up?

What about taxes and stuff?
Unfortunately, we're unable to provide specific tax advice since everyone's situation is different. While this is by no means a guarantee, most donations on GoFundMe are simply considered to be 'personal gifts' which are not taxed as income in the US. Additionally, only donations made to a legally registered non-profit or charity may be considered eligible for donors to claim as a tax deduction. Again, every situation is different so please consult with a tax professional in your area.
Does it cost anything?
While it's free to create and share your online fundraising campaign,
GoFundMe will deduct a 5% fee from each donation that you receive. Since our fee is deducted automatically, you'll never need to worry about being billed or owing us any money.
A small processing fee of about 3% will also be deducted from each donation. Please see Pricing & Fees for more info.
