Hi all,

in my wider circle of acquaintances someone sent me a call for donations for a young family with a few weeks old baby girl. They had a cruel stroke of fate. The father died in a car accident (proven no fault of his own).

The brother of the dead guy opened a call on gofundme.com.

What is quite easy to use (via paypal). You can even choose to have very small amounts and 0 fees (for gofundme).

But this process needs a lot of middlemen

You->Bank->Paypal->gofundme->donate requestor->donate receiver

And gofundme is financed by donations only.

So I am wondering if nostr/BTC/lightning won’t be a better way for such calls.

What if I want to open a donation call for them via nostr? What would be the best approach to reduce middlemen, required trust and fees?

(They are nocoiners/ precoiners)
