I was gonna say, the site can be used for just about any reason. There was one with a girl trying to fund a trip to Disneyland(or world). Its completely up to the people who go to the site if they feel it deserves a donation or not.
I don't see anything really wrong with it. It doesn't deceive people into thinking the money is going for something much different such as a surgery or a funeral.
It allows a possible donator to read and make a decision for themselves whether or not they want to throw a buck or two his way. However I can see how in some cases it could be seen as an easy way out, not saying that's the case here.
When I started pricing out my eventual GTA build last summer, I thought I should start a fundraiser page thing and get it paid off that way, but that would have been absurd and in that case would have deserved ridicule.
