Just wondering what would entice people to donate???

You read about people crowd funding their weddings and around the world trip....Animals seem to do well BUT helping out ill people seems a different story.

Sorry rant over

As in charities ? Lots of people donate to charity that helps those who are sick or in distress. Am I misunderstanding your post?

Crowd funding is usually more personal, for the benefit of an individual or small group rather than a large organised charity.

It's personal in my case, trying to help a friend. It's still early days but I'm impatient

We're currently crowdfunding for some new equipment for our Son (he has cerebral palsy).

His physio and occupational therapist couldn't provide what we needed and the items are too pricy for charities to fund the whole thing.

We've already hit our target for the basics and it's only really family and friends that have donated.

As others said, if it is personal to you or a loved one, you're more likely to donate.

Well done. Mine is for a specialist chair that will enable a friend to be hoisted out of bed. I understand the NHS has limits but a life in bed just doesn't seem acceptable does it xx

Are there any charities that could help fund it, or at least partially fund it?

When a very young family member was very poorly, we used a crowd funding site to assist mum and dad with travel and accomodate costs as well as the bills at home whilst they couldn't work (self employed). It was really awesome to see how generous family, friends and strangers could be. The surplus was donated to the hospital. The family would have struggled immensely without the help and kindness this brought.

I'm all for it when it comes to children in need or for anybody who requires medical treatment that the nhs won't fund but you hear of all kinds of people asking for donations for a boob job or something trivial which gets on my tits. But no harm in asking I suppose, nobody is forced to donate their hard earned money.

Kanye West had one to help him pay off his debts. He wants $35 million. And belive it or not people are actually paying him some money. He has raised 7k in three months. It is amazingly stupid that he is getting any money donated when there are way more deserving causes.

I think the problem with crowdfunding is that people get sceptical as there are so many fake accounts asking for money for fake illnesses if I knew something was genuine I wouldn't have a problem putting my hand in my pocket.

The NHS do a great job, I'm in the profession and arrange equipment and care etc.

A chair isn't classed as essential unfortunately x

Can they not get a Government grant for that?

Disabled facility grants cover adaptations to the home. x

I don't mind the ones for a real cause but ones for a new car (think blonde girl, big boobs who can't be bothered to work) or whatever is just lazy!! I'm all for helping those in need

I spend quite a bit of my personal income crowd funding businesses that sit well with my ideology...
