Really bad idea as it teaches nothing to reform the bad attitude and self management that caused the problem. I would say food, basic clothing and anything else basic required by a person has to be provided as an item not cash.
It would almost be the opposite of help to encourage a person into not feeling the full responsibility, things can certainly get worse for all the possible avenues of easy cash I dont want to see anyone go down that road. At best they end up in prison maybe for years after being offered a way to get cash fast, some people dont know better to refuse a bad offer.

I get that folks wanna help out if someone's having a rough time, but you gotta be careful too. Sure we should care about each other, but throwing money around ain't always the answer neither. Maybe help with getting skills or something steady instead of just handing over cash. People should try to stand on their own. So lend a hand when it's really needed but dont let feelings make you loose with your wallet. That's just gonna cause more problems down the road. I say care, but care smart.

No, I don't want to do. Crowdfunding for irresponsible gamblers or gambling addicts will not produce anything. It just feeds their gambling addiction because they get money to keep playing and I don't think it will take long until that money is gone to gamble again.
If he gambled irresponsibly, then he does not need crowdfunidng rather he needs to visit a psychologist for help on how to deal with his gambling addiction. Giving money to him is just telling him to continue from where he stopped.
Yes I agree with you. They don't need Crowdfunding, what they need is psychologist or professional help to overcome the problems they are experiencing, gambling addiction problems or irresponsible gambling. Giving money to a gambling addict is the same as giving sugar to a diabetic

A few days ago, I posed a question in this forum, wondering if, as someone who engages in gambling, you've ever considered thought of giving back to the community if you ever had a successful gambling run. I carefully went through all the responses, maintaining keen interest and taking note of each perspective. Another aspect of the inquiry involves whether you would be willing to participate in crowdfunding for a fellow gambler who reaches out to the public through social media seeking financial support after they gambled with the funds meant for an important project like, investment, school fees, rent, marriage or any other thing. And what would you say to those who go ahead to donate to these gamblers out of a sense of empathy?
Nope. I wouldn't do it even if he/she were my relative. Spending your kids' food money on gambling? This is irresponsible and it deserves a punishment. If these people get any help from the community, who guarantees it that they won't do the same thing again? (spending family funds on gambling) Sometimes people need to learn by the hard way. Sometimes punishment is the best teacher.
(for ex:) You spend your kids food money on gambling and now you either feed your kids with the funds which you were going to pay your electricity bills which means no electricity in home or, your kids will starve to death. A punishment like that is hopefully enough to put some sense in these losers.

I would say that sponsoring irresponsible behavior does not lead to anything good. There must be unpleasant consequences for wrong actions, it hurts but it works. If a person does not experience anything negative after doing something wrong (because someone makes up for all the losses in his place), then this only leads to the fact that he continues to behave irresponsibly. This is not higher mathematics, but simple life experience that everyone should understand by the age of 7-8 haha.
