My Backabuddy Campaign was very easy to set up. Backabuddy was user friendly with good support. A nice trustworthy platform to be part of.

BackaBuddy is the best

Their system and their customer service are both 5-star. Even once when I lost my cool due to a misunderstanding on my part they kept their cool, and to my embarrassment dealt ever so courteously with my tantrum. We requested an interim emergency payment of part of the money, which they acceded to with alacrity. And when it was time for the monthly payment the payout was correctly calculated to the last cent. If your cause is good, and you're social media savvy, BackaBuddy will take care of the rest with great professionalism.

I started an independent campaign to raise funds for a new power wheelchair. The old one was no longer working after 20+ years. Family members and friends immediately showed their support, together with people I have never met - THANK YOU SO MUCH. Besides their generous support, BackaBuddy provided a seamless, professional, compassionate service from the start. This platform provided me with the help I needed, and I recommend their services to anyone who needs help. Sterling service. THANK YOU, TOO.

Amazing experience

Amazing experience. I am partially disabled from an autoimmune disease. To help me get around I use a knee scooter. I'd found an old used one to see if it would work. It did, but was worn out and I decided I needed a newer one better suited to my needs after a few months. I found a newer used one but it was considerably more than the old one.

While I can sustain myself, just, the newer one was a reach too far. I mentioned this to a friend who suggested crowdfunding for it. I didn't realize my journey had touched my friends so deeply. Within a mere 4 hours they had raised enough to not only get me a brand new one but to more than put a big dent into the cost of couriering it to me from the USA.

Back a buddy kept in touch every step of the way and making it easy for my friends to help me out .

BackaBuddy is an amazing initiative where they use crowd funding to assist multiple causes and needs. Our Grandson was biorn with a severe heart defect and had his first heart operation at only 2 weeks old and the second heart operation just now at 5 and a half months old. The campaine already assisted us with almost half the funds we need. Well done BackaBuddy!

Unauthorised deduction,

On 1 June I advised them that a 4th deduction was made when only 3 donations were requested. I have sent about 9 emails, and the same reply.. someone will contact you. The amount is R1081.00, so it is not petty cash. What are my options? Small claims court? Emails sent to :- queries, vetting, verification and finance @backabuddy.

Not very transparent and upfront

Not very transparent and upfront. I'm struggling to get a payout and reply from them. No response to my emails.
I started a campaign to raise some funds towards buying a cheap little house. I didn't reach my target. So now they asking me a proof of an offer to purchase for a house... which is ridiculous because I haven't even made a quarter of the total. So how can I make an offer to purchase. Not a good experience. It should have been in their conditions before accepting such a campaign. Fake, really

Hi Ian, thank you for your feedback. We would like to apologize for your regretful experience. To accommodate the Easter weekend, our finance team processed payouts early for this month's cycle, which has impacted payout dates.

Thank you for helping me save my baby's life!

How can I ever thank Back a buddy and the team (particularly Zay-yaan, Carla and Monique). The support, encouragement and invaluable input they have given me throughout my campaign has literally been life-changing for us. Back a buddy in the literal sense changed our lives and saved my daughter's life. When at our lowest, with nowhere to turn, thanks to the funds raised and the assistance of the back a buddy team, we were able to get my daughter the medical care she so desperately needed, that we couldn't afford. Today (a year later) she is once again healthy and happy and this is all thanks to Back a buddy. The hard work, love and compassion the team pour into their campaigns is second to none. They were and still are always available to provide support and advice, consistently helping me to improve my campaign, thereby raising more funds to reach our target. Their supportive suggestions on how and where to share campaign links made a MASSIVE difference as I was unsure and didn't have the right platforms to fundraise on. With their help, I have learnt so much about how to correctly speak to an audience and through them raise the much needed funds for my child's medical expenses. To the team at Back a buddy...you will never know how much we appreciate you and all that you do. You helped me save my baby's life. And you will forever have my heartfelt gratitude for the phenomenal effort you put in every single day. Anyone who chooses to work with and through you, will not be sorry. Thank you, truly, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I couldn't have saved her without you. All my love and gratitude..I thank God for you all, and for this wonderful crowdfunding platform you have created. May you be mightily blessed. Kasey Armstrong.
