I followed that campaign yesterday with some interest, reloading the page a number of times to check the totals. While that family has a deep connection with their regional arts community and a felt presence in various music camps all over the world, and while most people donate anonymously, I was happy to see a lot of comics names pop up in the donor feed. It's not a natural thing for the comics community to straight-up donate, or at least it hasn't always been natural. The comics community is usually cash-strapped and in cases not this one some people can be less than generous about circumstances that may put one person into need that another person might be able to avoid. I hope that's changing.
