🚨 The $84K Question Tom Hennessey Won't Answer
Over $`84,000 has been raised for Ole Miss student, Lauren Mayfield, on GiveSendGo.
The organizer, Tom Hennessey, won't say whether he's ever been in touch with her.
Mississippi Today reached out to him by DM. He talked about a "double standard," but declined to answer when asked if he'd been in contact Lauren about the fundraiser.
Here's what's on the record:
-Nov 10, before launching, he posted: "If anyone knows them personally, DM me… we need to make sure they DON'T APOLOGIZE. This may turn into a fundraiser."
- The goal went from $20K to $50K to $75K to $100K in about two days.
-He "reserve[s] the right to cancel" if she "disavows our support and bends the knee." The money depends on her not apologizing.
-As of 4:46 PM today, the campaign page doesn't list a recipient at all.
-She hasn't said a word publicly. TMZ says it's unclear whether she's involved or will ever receive the money.
- On GiveSendGo, only a verified recipient can withdraw. If a campaign is canceled, a refund only starts when someone asks support for one. It isn't automatic.
This isn't his first.
His campaign for the Lindsay Clancy holdout juror passed `$289K while the juror's own lawyer was saying no fundraiser had been authorized. It was approved after the fact.
@GiveSendGo: Who is the verified recipient on "Stand with Lauren"? Has she agreed to any of this?
*To be clear, I’m not accusing him any wrongdoing, however receiving a block, today, without any recent contact or direct interaction only raises more questions.
Donors deserve an answer, @Tomhennessey69 .

It's beginning to look a lot like.....
...SANTA HAT TIME, WHITE FOLK!🌲🧑🎄
For those of you who aren't aware, I am the self-elected, official SANTA HAT pfp fairy and this year I am even more autistic.
For our anti-christmas folk, I am offering YULE pfps upon request...but also, who doesn't want to see @ZZZocrates in a Santa hat.
I will use your current pfp unless you send me another to use and this year, all pfps will be added to a dedicated post as I make them.
If you wish to decline, I will not be offended.
This brings me far too much joy so thank you for putting up with this sh*t.

Oh yeah, thats not going to stop me.
Cute though.
Apparently, I scare Tom Hennessey.
Let it be known this happened without having to say single word to him about his fundraiser.
I will wear this block like a sherrifs badge while I conduct what has just become a FORMAL investigation.

No public statement from Tom Hennessey on non-contact with Lauren Mayfield or any refund timeline if she never claims the funds.
He publicly asked for DMs from anyone who knows her before launching, then created the campaign unilaterally. The GiveSendGo page has zero updates confirming contact or claim status. Platform rules require the named beneficiary to verify identity and link a bank account to withdraw; the organizer cannot access the money and can request full refunds to donors if the campaign is closed unclaimed.
