<\/div>\n

GoFundMe<\/a> can be a wonderful resource for those in need. While the average person uses a campaign to raise money for medical debt, funeral costs, or veterinary bills, multi-millionaire Alyssa Milano<\/a><\/strong> has tapped the resource to help send her kid son and his baseball team on a field trip.<\/p>\n

Plenty have taken to social media to lambast the out-of-touch celeb for her penny-pinching, including desperate people who have turned to the fundraising site as a last resort.<\/p>\n

Why is her post tone-deaf?<\/h2>\n

Using the website GoFundMe for travel expenses isn\u2019t abnormal, but one quick perusal of the site\u2019s many posts paints a depressing picture. Families from all around the world use the webpage to petition for funds for dying family members, travel expenses to flee war-torn countries, and to help fund funerals. The site\u2019s non-life-threatening additions are few and far between, and that is where the tone-deaf nature of Milano\u2019s request comes in.<\/p>\n

The actress petitioned<\/a> for 10k to help send her 12-year-old son\u2019s baseball team to Cooperstown New York for a tournament. In the listing, it notes that the funds will be used for travel costs, uniforms, dues for families, and novelty items on the trip. The disconnect between an actual billionaire asking for financial support alongside thousands of struggling people from around the globe started a social media wildfire.<\/p>\n

#AlyssaMilano was instantly trending on social media. Users pointed out the hypocrisy of Milano\u2019s petition, the actress isn\u2019t like those thousands of overlooked people in need of charity. Milano is in no way hurting for cash and could have easily covered the cost of her son\u2019s trip with her own money.<\/p>\n

Imagine being so out of touch that you ask your followers to contribute money to your child\u2019s trip when you have a net worth of 10 million dollars. This is gross. Pay for it your own damn self. #AlyssaMilano<\/a> #gofundme<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/NmdDGn5zry<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/IRrmQXBmaG<\/a><\/p>\n
