If she deliberately misrepresented herself for the purpose of having people send her money, I'd think it could constitute fraud. If she just wrote up this sob story on a blog and people sent her money, then she's not necessarily responsible.

"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of temperance. It is a species of intemperance within itself, for it goes beyond the bounds of reason in that it attempts to control a man's appetite by legislation, and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A Prohibition law strikes a blow at the very principles upon which our government was founded." --Abraham Lincoln
