In one of her replies, she said she would pay for it if she could. Is she broke?

"My son’s baseball team is raising money for their Cooperstown trip. Any amount would be so greatly appreciated. You can read more about the team and make a donation here:"

I may be looking at this wrong but do people want her to pay for the entire team? Should the other team members expect the rich parents to pay for the other player? I agree that her asking for donations is a tacky but did the team select her because of name recognition to possibly garner more donations? There is a piece to this story that I am missing.
