Beg, Post, Live: The Cancer Patient's Guide to Online Fundraising

di Hugo Ball (Autore)

Hugo Ball, 2025

Your doctor just said cancer. Your insurance just said no. Now what? Look, I'm going to be real with you. You're probably reading this on your phone in a hospital waiting room. Or maybe at 3 AM when you can't sleep because the bills are piling up faster than the test results. You didn't plan for this. Nobody plans for this. The chemotherapy that could save your life costs more than your car. The surgery you need next month costs more than your house down payment. And your insurance company... well, they found a loophole. They always find a loophole. Here's what nobody wants to say out loud: In America, your survival might depend on how well you can beg strangers on the internet for money. Yeah. That's where we are. You just got diagnosed. The treatment costs are impossible. You're googling "how to pay for cancer treatment" and finding nothing but medical bankruptcy statistics. Or maybe you're the spouse, the parent, the adult child watching someone you love need treatment they can't afford. You'd sell everything you own but it still wouldn't be enough. You need money. Fast. More than your family has. More than your savings. More than any loan you could get. And you need to know... honestly... how this actually works. Not the inspirational success stories. The real process. The stuff that actually raises money versus the stuff that wastes your precious time. What You're Actually Getting The exact templates that work. Not theory. Real campaign descriptions that have raised real money. Word-for-word scripts for the hardest conversations you'll ever have. Platform secrets nobody shares. GoFundMe takes almost 3% of donations. But did you know there are ways to minimize fees? Did you know Tuesday at 2 PM gets three times more donations than Monday morning? The media playbook. One local news segment can raise more in 24 hours than months of Facebook posts. This book shows you exactly how to get reporters to cover your story. Email templates included. The psychology of donors. Why young patients raise more than older ones. Why teachers get more donations than lawyers. How to position your story so people actually click donate instead of just typing "praying for you." What to do when donations stop. Because they will stop. Usually after week three. This book shows you how to restart momentum when everyone's moved on to the next crisis. Some friends will disappear when you ask for money. This book prepares you for that. Some family members will judge you for "begging online." This book gives you responses that shut down criticism. You'll have to share private medical details with total strangers. This book shows you how to maintain dignity while being vulnerable enough to get donations. You might raise $100,000. You might raise $500. The difference often has nothing to do with how sick you are. This book explains the brutal reality of what actually determines fundraising success. Here's What Makes This Different No fluff. No inspiration. No "everything happens for a reason" garbage. Just tactical, practical information about how to raise money online when cancer is trying to kill you and bankruptcy is trying to finish the job. Every chapter solves a specific problem: Setting up campaigns that actually convert Writing descriptions that make people donate Getting media coverage that drives massive donation spikes Managing donor relationships without losing your mind Dealing with the IRS when they ask about all this money What to do when campaigns fail (because some do) Campaign description templates you can modify
