I suspect "Kafkaesque" is being used to refer to the healthcare system, which is what the GoFundMe was originally for.

My apologies, I misread the original article and I was left with the impression that the GoFundMe was only for end-of-life and funeral costs. I must have missed the standfirst, which is where it was described as a "cancer fundraiser".
