Is this a legitimate reason to start a Go Fund Me account, and how do I start one?

I’m considering opening one for my daughter, but I feel SO uncomfortable about it, like I’m begging, but I don’t know what else to do.
She’s probably going to undergo pretty major surgery which will take her out of work for 6 to 8 weeks during her recovery. She won’t have any way to pay her rent, utilities, car payments, insurance, all of that. She has insurance through work, but she’ll still have pretty substantial out of pocket expenses.
What would the response be, and how do I go about starting it? What do I say? How does it work?
