Laravel 5 - softDeleting a user

What will happen to the related data when I softdeletes a user? For example I have a donations table where we tracks all the donations given by the users for each campaigns.

public function user()
    {
        return $this->belongsTo('App\User');
    }

Schema of donations table

Schema::create('donations', function(Blueprint $table)
        {
            $table->increments('id');
            $table->integer('campaign_id');
            $table->integer('user_id');
            $table->float('amount');
            $table->timestamps();
        });

So if a user a softdeleted then how the total amount for a campaign is going to get affected. Also there is a comments table which tracks all the comments used by the user. We are using softdelete so that we can reactivate the account later. Is this a good method in the current scenario or can I use a status field in the users table to deactivate or reactivate users.
