Question for readers, please answer in comment?

I found out last night while researching IVF trials that there is a site, kind of like Kickstarter, that allows you to crowdsource funding for IVF.  I'm a bit torn as to whether we should persue it or not, part of me says that it's mooching.  The other part of me says it's not mooching, it's asking for help for something we simply cannot come up with the money for and still make our bills etc.  What are y'all's thoughts on it?
