Faith-Based Nonprofit Hosts Crowdfunding Campaign for Christian Bakers Rejected by GoFundMe

A faith-based nonprofit in Wisconsin announced Tuesday that it has opened its online giving platform to a fundraising campaign for the embattled owners of Sweet Cakes by Melissa.

Continue to Give founder Jesse Wellhoefer said a crowdfunding web page for Melissa and Aaron Klein went live May 5, little more than a week after GoFundMe shut down a similar account for the Oregon couple, saying it violated the company's terms of service.

"We want to help people raise money if they have gone through any trying periods where they need to raise money," Wellhoefer told The Oregonian/OregonLive."
