The way I see it, chances are, it was being reported as "off-topic" because it literally is off-topic. In one of your latest threads, you just made it bitcoin related by mentioning bitcoin donations, in which, asking for donations in Bitcointalk is pretty hit or miss.

I'm not saying that this project doesn't deserve the help and the publicity, but yea Bitcointalk just isn't the best place for something like this. I've known people that have found decent success using platforms like GoFundMe.
