Yes, you are allowed to ask for donations. Generally people like to contribute to causes that they know something about and for people who are in need. A nice vacation is not generally a "need"; it is more of a want.
However, the "Make a Wish Foundation does exactly as you appear to be trying to do. The "Make a Wish Foundation" finds children that have life threatening illnesses or injuries and grants their wishes. Whether it is meeting a sports star, going to Disney World, or some other wish of the child. By the way, not all the children die. It may just be a child that goes through a very tough time.
So if you are trying to help a family that has some real hard times out of the family's control, go for it.

You are allowed to ask. IYou can also try alternate forms of fundraising, if you are really interested in helping, like holding a raffle, or doing candy sales, hold a bake sale, etc., . Alternately, you can go to their local church, synagogue or mosque and see if they can and are willing to help with raising some money for the family. Just be sure to be honest that the funds are for a vacation, not for a more 'dire' situation.

You can, however people won't donate for a vacation. That's like someone asking for donations for a crystal bowl from Tiffany's.
If you can't afford it on your own, you don't need it.

That would be kinda weird. If it's just for a vacation then no. People don't need to take vactions. People need food, water, shelter. Maybe if it was donantions for something like that then maybe. I think your question is really self explanatory.

Have as many people as you can get go to:
supply-n-learn.com
If they purchase a Summer Bridge Workbook $2 of each purchase can go to you. This has worked for some people who have already done this.
