gastic bypass surgery

I saw on our local news a few days ago where someone in Knoxville was going to have gastic bypass surgery. She weighs like 560 lbs - but her insurance doesnt cover it. So she is raising money - by having BAKES SALES. I had to laugh at the irony although I do know she probably needs it in order to become healthy. What I dont agree with is that she has set up some donation account at a bank where people can send money - I mean isnt that what you do when your child needs a heart transplant or something serious? Just kinda rubbed me the wrong way. I know being that heavy is a serious thing...but I dont think she should be begging the community to give her money.
