Las Vegas Victims & Survivors: Verified GoFundMe Pages [LIST]

A lot of people want to help the families of the Las Vegas mass shooting victims and survivors, but they aren’t sure where to start and also want to ensure that the money will go to the right person. Heavy asked GoFundMe for a full list of all verified GoFundMe pages associated with the tragedy. You can see that full list below.

Verified pages mean that GoFundMe transfers the money to the fund’s beneficiary, not the person who created it. GoFundMe “has the ability to transfer funds directly to those in need,” GoFundMe’s Communications Director Bobby Whithorne told Heavy. “When a campaign is created to help another person or family, the funds are collected, held, and then transferred directly to the beneficiary of the GoFundMe rather than to the campaign organizer. That’s just one of the many ways we secure the platform and make sure the money quickly gets to the right party.”

At least 59 people have died and more than 500 were injured in what was the worst mass shooting in modern U.S. history. The survivors are in need of help for medical care; for example, one 27-year-old woman is being treated after a bullet was lodged in her eye. The families of the deceased are in need of help for funeral expenses, and to benefit the victims’ children, when they had them. There are also overarching funds that were created to assist victims’ families. In some cases, married couples were both shot.

Here’s the full list. You can click on the headlines to get to the pages. There are also links in the text.

For the Children of John Phippen

John Phippen was also killed in the attack, and the page in his name is raising money to help his six children.

The message on the page reads, “Today, we lost an amazing, wonderful, selfless, sweet soul of man to a sensless act of violence in the Las Vegas Route 91 Harvest Festival shooting. My name is Leah Nagyivanyi and I was a Santa Clarita neighobor and a friend of John’s for 17+ years. My husband Paul and John had become very close over the past three years. All of us spending time in the Sand Dunes, Havasu and doing lots of beach camping. We intertwined many of our friends and to say we are devastated by this loss is an understatment.”

The page continues. “If you didn’t know John you surely missed out. He had a heart that was larger than life and a personality to match. You felt like you knew him for years the first time you met him. He was a simple man who enjoyed the simple things in life and having fun doing them. He had your back from the moment he met you and by having your back that could mean, having a cold beer in your hand when yours was empty or if you needed help with your car or in our case, your sandrail, your house or you just needed to chill. Even if you were someone he had never met before but were in need, he was there for you. This is a man who loved his family and his friends as if they were family. It is unfortunate to say he left alot behind. John has six children and one grandson of which he absolutely adored. His youngest daughter is only 14 and who lost her Mom only 3 short years ago. It is a tragedy to lose your father and mother both at such a young age.”

On his children, the page concludes, “They need our help with some of the expenses involved in laying him to rest and picking up the pieces of their lives that have been shattered by this tragedy.”
