The GiveSendGo went offline Wednesday afternoon, about a day after 19-year-old Anthony was convicted in a Texas courtroom of killing 17-year-old Austin Metcalf at a 2025 high school track meet.
GiveSendGo – a crowd sourcing platform that differs from GoFundMe in that it allows fundraisers for criminal cases – confirmed the fundraiser closure in a Thursday X post.
