An online go-fund-me-page has been set up for Mark Stimson and his team, who required help in covering the cost of travel and hotel rooms to Darlington on Saturday, 27 February.
With the Isthmian League being suspended since early November due to the pandemic, the non-league club have been deprived of vital regular matchday income.
In the knockout competition, the Urchins defeated Bowers & Pitsea, Tonbridge Angels and Dulwich Hamlet.
Hornchurch also won against National League side, King’s Lynn Town on penalties and Maidstone United to reach the quarter-finals.
The online fundraiser has been shared by West Ham and so far raised more than £2,900, after asking £2,500 initially.
It’s hopeful any extra funding will be used to help the club build a roof over its decking platform next to the bar to make it reasonably weatherproof.
