Indiegogo is one of the top fundraising platforms for independent creators’ projects. However, the site’s users weren’t allowed to post campaigns related to personal initiatives, until now. Indiegogo just launched a site called Life to cater to users’ personal causes and goals.
Users can sign up to create a fundraising campaign in one of several new categories, including “Celebrations,” “Emergencies,” “Sports,” “Medical,” “Community,” and “Education.” This means someone like a college student who can’t afford tuition can get financial help from the online masses, or someone with hefty medical bills can raise funds to make the amount less burdensome. For example, Life highlights user Erin Martin who lost part of her leg and used the site to raise money for a prosthetic which her insurance wouldn’t cover.
The biggest benefit to using Indiegogo Life is there are no platform fees. Users get to keep all the money they raise,...

Tonight on NBC, out contestant Michelle Chamuel will compete in The Voice's Final 8 during the Live Rounds. One of the reasons the music reality show is so successful is that they've embraced Lgbt singers from the beginning, and we've had several queer women to root for in all four seasons.
So what happens after The Voice? Here's what the bisexual and lesbian contestants of seasons past have done with their 15 seconds of fame.
Vicci Martinez (Season 1)
