YouCaring
YouCaring is a free crowdfunding website for personal and charitable causes. YouCaring runs entirely on donations and does not charge a fee for their platform, though their donation processors (PayPal, WePay, and Stripe) charge fees.〔(Kayleigh Kulp, “Need Cash for Health Care? Ask!: How crowdfunding websites can help you pay for expenses”, AARP, June 2012. )〕〔(Kayleigh Kulp, “How to Use Crowdfunding to Cover Health-Care Bills”, Fox Business, 27 April, 2012. )〕〔(Eliza Barclay, “The Sick Turn To Crowd Funding To Pay Medical Bills”, NPR, 24 October, 2012. )〕
==Notable Fundraisers==
*Musical group Doomtree created a YouCaring campaign for rapper P.O.S to help cover the secondary costs associated with a kidney transplant.〔(Lily Rothman, “Musician Health Care Crisis: Rapper P.O.S. Crowdfunds New Kidney”, Time, 1 November 2012 )〕
*Science fiction author Jay Lake used the website to pay for whole genome sequencing, towards the "small possibility that the results of such a test...may suggest a treatment path"〔 for his colon cancer, which since 2008 has "progressed from a single tumor to metastatic disease affecting the lung and liver, recurring after multiple surgeries and chemotherapy courses."〔(【引用サイトリンク】 url= http://www.youcaring.com/medical-fundraiser/Sequence-a-Science-Fiction-Writer/38705 )〕 After his successful campaign, Lake publicly criticized Paypal for the terms and processes the company uses when it thinks there's a fraud risk. His experience was cited in news coverage over Paypal's public promise to introduce "aggressive changes" to its frozen funds policy.〔
