Hey! It’s great to see that you started this here, and as I stated, you are going to get a lot of skepticism. The best you can do is to continue providing transparency and updates. I, personally, would consider donating a couple hundred bucks, but as someone who hosts many fundraisers, I will say that there is still a lot to be desired for me to be able to trust that the funds will go to the cause at hand. I have seen my fair share of newbie accounts claiming that they need funding for a life-changing cause.
The Project Development board is used to find supporters and service providers for a project that you want to develop, so my suggestion was based on finding some people that can help you develop a website, even one page, that can be used to share this project, rather than hosting a fundraiser solely on the forums.
Social proofing is also important, so try to get some prominent members of your community to provide some quotes regarding their involvement with this project. This could be town council members, doctors, nurses, ministers... anyone that has a social reach and can provide any form of validity to the cause you’re raising funds and awareness for. Unfortunately, a Facebook group and bitcointalk post won’t be enough to get even the biggest of whales to donate anything for this, myself included.
I’m just being honest, and I hope you see this as encouragement rather than taking it as a downfall. I have just witnessed too many people using negative circumstances for personal gain, here and IRL, so I need to feel close to 100% satisfied that my funds will be used for its intended purpose.
Good luck with the project, and I hope you can find a small team that is willing to help you to create what you’ll need to run a successful fundraiser campaign.

She is fortunately recovered from the septicemia, and sent me these photos of her and her documents: https://imgur.com/a/yE19R. Excuse her poor camera and thery're all in Romanian, but at least i hope it gets clear this is a real thing. She still doesn't have enough money to cover all the bills.
From what it seems our little project isn't big or serious enough to get anything but scam accused here. At this point i just want to clear my name from the accusations of trying to use her situation for my own gains.

I have nothing to hide and no intention of scamming anyone.
But i don't feel very encouraged to keep this running actively so i will leave it as is for now.
