Anyone can do it.
Anyone can open a "Go fund me" account. I have a niece who opened a go fund me to pay for her destnation wedding. We don't see her or speak, so I don't know what she got, if anything.
So, invent a sob story if you don't have a "pity me" one and set up your own account. Yes, some needs are real, but mostly (imho) it is nothing more than a modern form of begging. "I'm a poor old man with no kids to buy me a retirement home in The Villages. Please send lots of money cause I want to play golf".
It is easy. Floyd's family has as much right as anyone else to do it. The tragic way he lost his life along with all the media coverage was a great opportunity to cash in.
Open your own account now and you could be a millionaire by tomorrow.
Stay well. Stay . Peace!
