Deluded Couple Gets Roasted After Launching GoFundMe Campaign To Raise Money For Their "Dream Honeymoon"

The request quickly drew attention because the couple said they were dealing with chronic illnesses and medical costs, yet still framed the trip as something they hoped others would help make happen. That mix of hardship, luxury, and public fundraising did not sit well with everyone.

And once the screenshots started making the rounds, the reaction was swift. Read on.
