why do they make it so hard on cancer patients to raise money?

I know there are lots of scams out there praying upon people that live to help others but I have been diagnosed with bladder cancer in the past weeks and has been out of work prior to that. We need financial help so bad, My wife and friends want to raise money to help since the very first visit to the hospital was a staggering $46000 and counting. They have not been able to even get started because of all the laws surrounding this. You can raise all the money you want for a foundation but an individual is damn near impossible unless they are just going about it wrong. I know there are scams but I know I would gladly show proof from my doctor to anyone who would ask.

Any advice on how to go about this. Please help.

Update:

Yah I know I live in a place where the rich can fight and well guys like me have to spend most of there final days trying not to bring there families to financial ruin trying to fight. we are trying to do fund raising but know very little about it .

    Try your local newspaper for coverage of a fund raising event. That can be very helpful.

    Sorry - That's why most other countries have universal health care.
