Honestly, if it were me or someone in my immediate family I would first borrow against my existing investements, RSP's, etc if I needed money that badly, and after that I would turn to family.
But like others have said, here in Canada we do have fully competant doctors and no huge medical bills to worry about, no $100k-$250k surgeries etc. It's all covered.
I have critical illness insurance in case I have to go south of the border for any treatments, and it's very affordable.
However, if people want to donate to help someone out I certainly have no quarrel with it.
