What do you think about donating to others online?

As someone who is going through a very rough patch financially, I have sought a solution to my woes for a very long while. My mother is sick with advanced kidney disease, and her insurance does not cover the entire cost of transplant surgery. She cannot afford to cover the remaining cost of six thousand dollars.

We have exhausted every avenue from payment installments to private lenders. Her credit has been ruined since my parents divorced and she filed for bankruptcy. While I have good credit, my credit history is not long enough to qualify for private loans.

I started a donation website in order to cover the cost of her surgery: http://www.gofundme.com/p4zo4

    I don't think there is anything wrong with reaching out for help Aly. I hope you are able to raise what is needed, as someone who lives with universal health-care i can't imagine what it must be like for you guys to find yourselves in this position.

    It can't hurt for you to post your story on as many places like this as you can find. The more exposure you give yourself, the more kind and giving people will be able to do what they can to help you out.

    Yes. It's the fact it's the internet and people aren't always trustworthy these days. I really appreciate your help, from the bottom of my heart. Thank you.

    Okay. I wasn't sure if it'd come off as desperate or whatever.
