Can you use "chip in" in this case ?
We're going to chip in for Christy (who is broke) so she can pay her bills

Yes, you can. However, "chipping in" isn't really the same as donating. You usually donate to some charitable organization, but you chip in for beer, party expenses, Christmas presents, or to help a close friend who is not an organization.
