FWIW, your submission was listed as [dead] to me when I submitted this link. I'm assuming HN's blacklist includes gofundme.com, though someone has since vouched for your submission and made it un-[dead]

Interesting and no worries either way! I posted the Go Fund Me link as they didn't (/don't?) seem to be linking to it from the blog post.

To add to this: if something is wrongfully dead, please email the mods too. Otherwise they probably will overlook it.

Email the mods? How? Didn't even know there was a list of mods nevermind email addresses??
