Katie and Lee, seeing themselves cornered, they decided to turn to the web through the site gogetfunding.com, which provides a platform for those seeking financial assistance of various kinds. "We need your help: Mom and Dad do not have money, clothes or friends or family members to say a simple hello in person - says the website - I know you're scared, but we have many good friends who are working hard to help me.
