I wish her well, but $7,500 for a 3 day event in Shanghai? I've stayed there for 6 months on less than that.

I lived in Shanghai for 6 years and flew in and out several times.Jeez if you have flown round trip to China <from the US,and stayed 6 months for less then 7500. , you should write a book about how! Probably be a best seller as there isnt much competition in the non-fiction category.

I assumed they'd provide a mentor / minder if they want to send a squad. Perhaps the organizers booked 5 star accommodation or are taking percentages to fund officials. Gawd knows, but I've friends who have travelled to Asia for pool events many times for a third of this amount.

I don't give money to people just because they want it. There has to be an actual need. Tell here to get a job.
That "GoFund" crap for people who just want something for nothing is getting pretty old. In fact I actually just read an interesting article about it.
That's why I let the thread die here. I don't know the young lady, just know she is local and figured I would try to help her raise a little money to make the trip happen. I should have known better than to post it here.
I am sorry but it is actually offensive. They now have a name for it, "Cyber begging". That is exactly whet it is.

Okay, you drew me in. How exactly is this offensive to you?
Because there are actually people who have genuine needs. People who beg for some self-serving meaningless purpose are offensive. As far as the Gofund goes, there are so many people on there now with their, "Give me money because I want it" scams, people are now skeptical to even give to those with genuine needs.
