What's a good community to ask for help with a GoFundMe?

Not pointing any fingers, but I've been told I'm 'begging' by sharing a fundraising page, asking for help.

Is there somewhere appropriate for such a post?

I've searched high and low, eventually opting for communities where it (to me) made sense to post.

I really appreciate it, thank you so much.

Reddit isn't somewhere I'm prepared to return to, but I don't want to get into why just now.

For now, I seem to be getting some positive responses from Lemmy and mastodon, as well as my friends and family that we've asked to share on their Facebook pages.

You hate Reddit more than you love your cat? I’m feeling kinda dumb for contributing now..

No no, that's not what I'm saying at all.

I loved reddit. I still love what reddit was. My reason for not doing this there is explained in a reply to another comment, but short version is I can't post there and haven't been able to for years.

Now I'm on Lemmy, I'm more inclined to spend time working out how best to get traction here than I am to try to get back on reddit after being suspended years ago.

Sorry if that came across like I'm being anti-reddit, there's more to it and I'm just trying to reply to everything I've got going on as quickly as I can, across multiple platforms.
