So why am I begging for money on the Internet?

Well,first off its called Group Funding and it's a perfectly legit way to raise funds. Secondly, I'm doing it because I can. I can use the money so why not give it a shot? What do I have to lose? I just don't understand why it's not working for me. On the Indiegoo site there's a lot of dumb things being funded. My request is modest not nearly as outrageous as many of the projects getting funded. I wish I had the answer. If you can find it in your hearts to help me out, I would appreciate it.
