I live in a French, British or Dutch Territory (not France, the UK or the Netherlands)
French Territories

- Saint Martin
British Territories
- Anguilla
- British Virgin Islands
- Turks and Caicos
Dutch Territories

If you live in these territories, get in touch with a friend or family member living in another GoFundMe supported country and have them create a campaign for you on your behalf. Since they cannot add you as a direct beneficiary, the will need to withdraw the funds raised and send them to you outside of GoFundMe.
