They asked for money. You don't have to give them any. Most big charities are a scam paying a CEO 100,000's a year and management a large whack too while expecting staff in shops to volunteer for nothing. Smaller charities like this deserve to be able to advertise their needs and BP is eminently suitable for this.

I just personally never donate to crowdfunders period. There's no guarantee money is going to end up where they say (especially ones that are set up for friend of a friend of an acquaintance). I help those around me in need, and support my own local (or serviced locally) charities where I have researched to know that my monies are going to where they say (not to CEOs and such). I just don't have time to research every crowdfunding that poos up these day. If this particular group is legit, I wish them luck, but, as my own advice, would probably get more luck searching locally (such as Laura's advice currently below).
