Can I use an alias/pseudonym to solicit personal fundraising?

I want to use paypal for personal fundraising.  I live in a VERY small town and would prefer to use an alias, but I do not have a "Doing Business As" registered in the alias.  

I am financially in need because I became unemployed (but I am seeking work!).  I want a way I can solicit donations online through a weblog.  My problem is I would prefer to use a pseudonym because I live in an extremely small town and do not want local people defaming me and my family.

Is there a way I can legally use an alias on PayPal without having a "Doing Business As" registered with the pseudonym and Tax ID?
