What are we doing wrong (if anything)

I follow a few stories on archiveofourown.org. They needed some money for servers and some kind of legal issues. Their goal was $130,000. In a little over a week they have raised almost $100,000. Why does Erin have to work so hard to raise the pittance we need here each month. Are we doing something wrong?

She shouldn't have to work so hard, if they can raise that kind of money in a week.
