Maybe contact the GoFundMe guys to ask what they recommend? They should have some experience with things like that...?

I probably didn't think of that because:
1. It's not directly my problem, and 2. I have five separate really stressful problems of my own going on now...
The other thing is I don't exactly trust the roommate to be completely scrupulous with such a thing. If somehow donations received exceeded expenses, NO I wouldn't trust him with that.
Matter of fact I wouldn't put it past him to "dip in" BEFORE his daughter's needs were realized.....
Not to some massive degree or anything, but I could easily see if he had access to $10k with no oversight him "borrowing" (in his head, but in reality taking) $1k, out of which he'd maybe spend half on things like clothing, etc, for her.....
