I get what you are saying, I donated a tenner, quite happy to let them do what they like with it. You say £ 14.00 on average but if you were someone who donated a few hundred pounds or even someone on a tight budget who donated £ 50 -100, it would still be nice to be given the option to have your money back to donate it to another cause, like I say perhaps another child who is waiting for treatment, you may not have another spare twenty, fifty or a hundred quid to donate again.I can definitely understand this point of view but this seems more a comment on the mechanics of gofundme than the family? I agree the platform as a whole is wildly unregulated and there are undoubtedly frauds happening on it daily. Were donors not offered a refund (honest Q)?
The average donation appears to be around £14. I’m aware there will have been a range of £1-£x0000 within that but I can imagine for that amount of money most contributors don’t feel as if the Cains need to provide immediate statutory reporting as to where their donations have been, currently are, and will be and are happy leaving it in a charitable trust in good faith.

Exactly if go fund me allow people to spend the money out with the remit of their page then it is up to them to do more due diligence and regulate the money they release.
I still do think asking for money for urgent and lifesaving treatment is very different to setting up a foundation.
Look they live their lives in the public eye, we all pay bills and know how much monthly outgoings are, they both documented their struggled to pay for treatment and having to really tighten their belt when Azaylia was in hospital, I disagree with people accusing them of fraud but it's human nature people are going to start asking questions, where is the money coming from to pay their monthly bills on top of daily expenses of the bike tour.
