Hullo, and welcome! It's a pleasant surprise that something that, to my cynical, world-weary eyes, seems like a scam turns out to be seemingly legit.
That was really lazy of the news site to not link directly to the Gofundme site, this appears to be the correct one: (don't blame me if it's not, report it to GoFundMe if it's fake!)
Baby Braxton Medical Fund by Ariel Roth - GoFundMeFacebook generally doesn't allow hotlinking, and since the 40kO Gallery is down (we had to do it, sorry folks) I rehosted it for you:
Always double check page URL's, do research into the authenticity of any proclaimed charity. 40kOnline is not responsible if something turns out to be a scam. If it is, Report it right away and we'll shut down the forum posts on our end (like certain painting scammers that have darkened our doorstep in the past).
Good luck, lil' duder!
