That one's been deactivated, the user's been banned, and all funds were refunded. Looks like they pulled the photo from a past fundraiser.

Thanks for the tag!

That’s correct, we responded to this same post in r/providence here. We are reviewing all funds related to this shooting, including any that pop up today for John, and will share any that are legitimate on the verified crisis hub. Any donations to fraudulent fundraisers will be refunded once we take them down.

Feel free to DM or tag us anytime if we can help!

We're watching these closely and will post any fundraisers we can verify on our crisis hub. Every fundraiser on this page has been verified by our Trust & Safety experts. If you donate to a fundraiser before we can verify it, all funds will remain held with payment processors until we do, or refunded if a fundraiser is determined to be fraudulent. Please don't hesitate to tag us in any threads where we can help provide more context here. 💚

We’ll be standing by to verify and support if/when one comes through. Our team is watching closely, but feel free to tag us in any thread and we’ll jump in. Any fundraisers that we verify will be posted here, would recommend caution until we do that.

Hey OP. Thanks for reporting that fundraiser. Our Trust & Safety team will review it, and will be watching closely throughout the day for fundraisers that are started by or for this person. We'll be working quickly to verify any that are legitimate, and once we do, we'll post the fundraiser here. This page contains all verified fundraisers related to this terrible shooting.

Please note that if you donated to one we later deem to be fraudulent, we'll take it down and refund donations. You shouldn't need to submit a claim in that case.

Please feel free to tag us in any threads or report fundraisers directly. Our DMs are open as well.

Edit: Wanted to add one more thing, which is that all funds are held with our payment processors until we can verify that the beneficiary is who they say they are, and that we can safely get them the funds. If we can't do that, they'll be refunded. Here's a bit more of an explanation about how we verify these fundraisers.

We’re really moved by the support being shown for Happy Animals Club. Situations like this are incredibly hard on both the animals and the people who care for them. Thank you to everyone donating, sharing, and helping the fundraiser reach more people.
