George Alan Kelly GoFundMe Campaigns Face Scrutiny

George Alan Kelly's GoFundMe campaigns have raised significant concerns among donors and the public.

The campaigns have been criticized for their lack of transparency and accountability.

GiveSendGo, a Christian crowdfunding website, chose to keep a donation page for Kelly's legal team up, citing the presumption of innocence until proven guilty.

This decision was made despite GoFundMe taking down similar pages, and GiveSendGo's founder, Heather Wilson, emphasized that her company operates on a neutral stance, not taking down campaigns based on personal biases.

The incident occurred just 150 feet from the US-Mexico border, according to police.

A still-existing fundraiser on Christian site GiveSendGo suggests that Kelly acted in order to protect his home.

A Christian crowdfunding website called GiveSendGo has set up a donation page for George Alan Kelly, the Nogales-area rancher accused of murdering a Mexican migrant.

More than $425,000 has been raised on GiveSendGo for Kelly's defense, with one campaign alone raising over $350,000.

The campaigns were set up to have all the donations go to Kelly's wife, Wanda, who describes him as a "rock" to their family who loves animals.

Kelly's wife, Wanda, set up a campaign herself that has raised over $6,000, describing Kelly as a humble person with simple needs who likes socks.
