40. UPDATE: The Duggars Try Their Hand At Crowdfunding, The Public Bites It

Sat Aug 1, 2015, 05:04 PM

Aug 2015

IfYouOnlyNews:

...(T)he Duggar family...added a “support” button to their YouTube channel so they could produce “fresh new content.” The plea reportedly said “every contribution is helpful, big or small.” Fan support was minimal and the scathing comments of those who are tired of these people being famous for nothing bordered on an angry mob...By (July 30)...(t)here is no sign of a “support” button on any of the Duggar pages or YouTube channels...

One report says they’ve had to fight a home foreclosure...Jill and her husband...were forced to beg for cash to travel to South America for “mission work,” though they wouldn’t disclose the actual location...If they could manage to get benefits for all of the children and grandchildren...they would be staring down the barrel of $4K a month in food alone...

Which dovetails into my theory that they're becoming so cash poor they can't make up the difference by selling off their assets.
