I read quite a few weekly mags and in those the stories are starting to end with a crowd funding note, be it for IVF, boob jobs or trips abroad for medical help. I think when it comes at you in such volume, I, for one, tend to get desensitised to it all. I first heard about it when poor Stephen Sutton was trying to raise funds for teenage cancer a few years ago and he raised far more than his intended amount, total currently stands at over £5M. I did phone up to the Channel 4 Stand Up to Cancer last week and donated though, so I will give when I think it is appropriate (Children in Need being around the corner), I just don't want personal canvassing for my money forced down my throat just because I want to read some light relief.
