I'm a 21-year-old college student. They say Bitcoin is an invention that will change the world and benefit mankind. In the past two months, I wrote dozens of emails to the leaders and celebrities in this field to try to raise money for my sister's surgery which can save her life. But they all choose a silent treatment, there was no reply. The same thing happened on Twitter. It seems that all they concerned about is how to fish for fame and compliments. Maybe this is the real world.
I think instead of asking for Bitcoin, maybe you should do a crowdfunding through Kickstarter or something. What you are looking for is a donation for a cause, you don't need Bitcoin for that.
Best wishes to your sister.
