Couples throughout the United States have raised nearly $1.1 million since GoFundMe’s inception in May 2010 while this year alone, around 100 campaigns have been started on GiveForward.com. "Twenty years ago this wouldn't have happened," Jessica Haley said. "Because of the Internet, that's why we have Landon." Jessica and her husband are now blessed with a son because of their crowdfunding efforts.
