That's the way it is. After all, there's Basket Case on Kickstarter, who wants $5,000 or whatever because she wants everybody to fund her latest album. Getting $5,000 via an Arts Council grant ain't nearly enough.
Go through Kickstarter and GoFundMe and there are plenty of neat ways of spending your money, rather than paying off debts on a dead woman.
Out of the $1,000 raised, $500 came from ONE person, who doesn't even have the same last name as the deceased. You'll notice that a guy who DOES have the same last name, tossed in $50, not $500.
Why only $50, Bill? Oh, he did have his priorities. How about plonking down hundreds and hundreds of dollars on a gift for your boyfriend? Biff Bang Pow!!
That's more like it! A toy model that recreates a moment from an old TV show! You know, at a memorabilia convention, you can spend $200 on an "action figure" of a "Harry Potter" character, or $500 to get an actual shirt worn by a "Star Trek" extra, or $1,000 for a deluxe limited edition DVD of "2001 A Space Odyssey" with 3 minutes of extra footage of the camera panning the infinite stars in the galaxy.
$50? That's better spent on a photo op with a woman who was in "The Sunshine Boys" for about 2 minutes:
Sorry, but when you're spending your money to buy toys, or stand next to Gary Lockwood or Billy Mumy at $50 a picture, you just don't have a lot of disposable income for frivolous things like "medical expenses" and "funeral costs."
