GoFundMe Heroes October 05, 2020 in 2020 I was commissioned crowdfunding platform GoFundMe to shoot a series of case studies. Accompanying an interview, these were, literally, hero shots - portraits of extraordinary people who were raising money for some amazing things: Former rough-sleeper Roy Celaire crowdfunded his place to study at Oxford University. Astrid, 13, has been raising money since she was 9 for her ‘Kits for Kids’ fund, which buys Christmas presents for homeless children. Patrick Vernon OBE started the Windrush Justice Fund. Austen, 9, is fundraising for his tea company, which will employ autistic people.
