Gofundme Bellingham Raises Funds for Hit-and-Run Survivors and Families

In Bellingham, Washington, a community came together to support those affected by a hit-and-run incident through a GoFundMe campaign.

The campaign aimed to raise funds for the survivors and families of the victims.

A local resident, who wishes to remain anonymous, started the campaign to help those in need.

The campaign quickly gained traction, with many community members contributing to the cause.

In Bellingham, Washington, a hit-and-run accident on Samish Way resulted in the death of Hartwell Mitchell, a Navy veteran and retired City of Bellingham fire fighter.

The incident occurred in February, and Mitchell passed away on March 7th, leaving behind a wife of 60 years who suffered a stroke several years ago.

The police have not identified the hit-and-run driver, leaving the family to seek justice and support.

The family has set up a GoFundMe page to raise donations, as Mitchell was the primary caregiver for his wife.

The city of Bellingham has seen a significant rise in GoFundMe campaigns over the past few years.

Many of these campaigns are started by local residents who are looking to raise money for personal expenses, such as medical bills or funeral costs.

One notable example is the campaign "Helping Hands for Hannah" which raised over $10,000 for a young girl's medical expenses.

Local businesses and organizations are also using GoFundMe to support community projects and events.

A campaign like "Bellingham Farmers Market" raised over $5,000 to support the local farmers market.

However, not all GoFundMe campaigns are successful, and some may even be scams.
