But it seems that many made a donation just so they could share their thoughts on Becca’s path to enlightenment. The campaign was set up in February last year and 82 people have donated $1,220 ($AU1,619) to her cause. “I have set up this go fund me so that anyone who feels I have helped them in any way or would like to be apart (sic) of what I am doing and would like to help me fund my travels back to Australia (where I would eventually like to create my home base) and around the world, they can do so.” “I believe we should all have the opportunity to have the things we need at our finger tips, whether or not we have the money for them. “I’m raising money to support myself on my travels and spiritual journey around the world,” she explains in her post. These crowd-funding ploys range from laughable to outright absurd and, for some unknown reason, people actually send REAL MONEY to these guys.Ī US woman took to GoFundMe to raise money for what, in her mind, was a very worthy, life changing cause: taking a trip around the world to further her spiritual journey.īecca Gronski describes herself as a “spiritual teacher, life coach, reiki and crystal healer” and asks all the people she has helped on their personal spiritual journeys to “give back” by helping fund her holiday. These requests usually involve something they want but would rather not pay for themselves, like a trip overseas, and often pales in importance to, let’s say, a family that have had all their possessions destroyed in a house fire or someone facing mounting medical bills. Of course, there are also people that see these crowd-funding sites as an easy way to get money for any ridiculous request that might pop into their head. Platforms like this prove there are people out there who genuinely want to help others when they need it most, even if they don’t personally know them. THE rise of crowd-funding platforms like GoFundMe has given people the opportunity to raise money for those in need or help fund worthy causes they believe in.
