Maybe DU needs a "GoFundMe" forum/group...
I'll start by saying I'm OK and not thinking of going that route, but I see several threads here and there of people thinking of starting a GoFundMe page to generate revenue for emergencies. As time gets rougher and rougher, I suspect we'll see more of that.
Is there a way to set up a Forum/Group where these requests could be listed where they don't get pushed off the page of GD and lose visibility? Perhaps we could set up a "quick link" to the group so those DUers who want to help can quickly go and donate to a fellow DUer. I suppose their is a potential fraud problem, but maybe there are workarounds that can be done.
Just throwing it out there. Times are hard and this community has a tradition of helping each other out. Was thinking maybe we could make that a little easier/simpler.

It's not that GD is getting "overwhelmed." It's that posts fall off of the first page so quickly that posts like that disappear too soon for many to see it. I understand the "group" problem, but perhaps a sticky at the top of GD referencing a group like that could alleviate that issue.
I'm just spitballing here. Thanks for your input, MM.
