Would it be weird to make a gofundme (or just generally crowdfund) to raise money to get a storm shelter installed?
For context, I live in tornado alley. My birthday is coming up and I think I’d prefer help with achieving that goal more than any gift I can come up with. I can’t find any programs that would offset costs significantly that are guaranteed. My state program for storm shelters is lottery style for a partial rebate.
I just have PTSD + chronic illness and 3 big dogs and a cat that I worry about immensely during storm season. Plus my mom lives alone nearby. I can’t even express the peace of mind that having a home shelter would provide. Just wondering if that’s an odd thing to crowdfund for!
EDIT: the crowdfunding would be primarily through my friends and fam, like my personal network as a birthday ask rather than asking the general public, just to clarify!
