GoFundMe Freezes $184,000 of Funds Donated to Homeless Teen After Inquiry Into Story

The Georgia woman who started a highly successful GoFundMe campaign on behalf of Fred Barley, a 19-year-old whose story went viral after He biked six hours just to register for classes at a Georgia college, is now apparently questioning the young man’s story, leading to the $184,000 raised being frozen, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reports.

“Unfortunately, multiple questions have been raised about Fred’s story. We’ve received conflicting information about his initial story, and we just want to make sure the donors and the public have all of the information available to them before the funds are transferred to a trust to pay for his education. We just want to do the right thing, and we’ve asked for the campaign to be reviewed,” Blaney wrote in a Facebook message to the Success for Fred Facebook group.
