More than $7.5 million USD has been raised on theGiveSendGo site after GoFundMe froze the money raised for the Freedom Convoy 2022.
The $7.5 million USD is equal to $9.5 million CAD, meaning the new crowdfunding is nearing the $10 million raised in the original fundraiser.
The truckers convoy against COVID-19 mandates has more than 83,000 donors on the crowdfunding site GiveSendGo.
GoFundMe is automatically returning donations as only the first million of the fundraiser was released to the cause.
Convoy organizer Tamara Lich said the launch on the American Christian crowdfunding site will allow funds to go directly to the truckers, much faster than GoFundMe was allowing.
