“Moments later, I get a text on my phone warning me of an unusually large transaction on my credit card,” Michael wrote. “I’m confused and swipe to open the text message. It says I have made a payment of $15,041 to GoFundMe. Immediately I’m sweating. How could I have donated FIFTEEN THOUSAND DOLLARS?”Michael said he then retraced his steps, finding out that he didn’t leave the donation amount window when he thought he did, typing the numbers 4 and 1 in addition to his intended donation.
“The man had sent me a video of himself from Bangladesh, surrounded by dozens of impoverished and hungry people holding bags of food, thanking me BY NAME for my generous donation,” Michael continued, adding that the people in the video then give him a round of applause. But the story doesn’t end there. Thanks to the power of the internet — and Michael’s smart decision to link to a second GoFundMe for the same charity, titled “Urgent Food Relief & Assistance in Bangladesh” — something spectacular happened.
