It's all about how effectively one can advertise themselves. No relation to need or urgency.
I had once created a funding campaign for my mother's treatment but people pinged me asking to prove I;'m not scammer for giving 100 Rs., even though all medical documents were already uploaded. Seeing the response and type of people contacting, I closed it in sometime.
That's what the sad reality is & we are no different either. As we all are selfish animals. Technically if we will see around there are so many people in need that even if we give all we got even then it will be like pinch of salt in sea that's how the real world is.
IMO the best way to self help is to offer something in exchange whatever it maybe like we might end up paying a kid ₹50 for some useless pen or flower instead of giving ₹10 to the same kid begging.
