My boss wants us to donate PTO

A coworker of mine fell severely ill 2 weeks back and has used all of their PTO. To avoid having them use their 12 weeks of FMLA, our CEO has asked employees at the company to donate PTO days to avoid having this coworker eat into their FMLA. For context, employees of less then 4 years full-time are given 12 days of PTO to use for sick days or vacation BEFORE they utilize an FMLA. Is this normal and something I should have gone along with? Or am I justified in feeling that this is just a cop out way for my company not to do more for my coworker?
