But I can't really expect the family to be particularly detailed setting this up in 30 minutes after a traumatic event so you just have to trust it goes to what is needed and feel good about yourself either way.

Yeah that was my main point too. They had the GoFundMe for the girl that was sent to that "Christian" camp in Texas because she was lesbian, and it was designed to cover legal fees to fight for her release. The girl ended up being released within a day or two when the story blew up and all the donations went to the attorney fees (who didn't file anything to get her out) and then to the girl herself for whatever she may need once she graduated high school. That kind of thing is how a good cause can turn sour. I wish there was some sort of way to refund donations if they're not needed, sort of like a failed Kickstarter campaign.
