So you're incorrect as regards how the gfm page was set up.I don't think she is trying to buy one at all. But I don't think she'd get a mortgage because she has no steady income to prove she can pay it back.
At the end of the day in my opinion, people donated to help a girl who is sick. (the Gofundme actually didn't specify what the money would go on it just stated her history of cancer and to donate to relieve financial stress on the family). She is still sick. And yes there are so many other families fighting this same fight, or worse. But should we not be wanting funding or facilities to make it easier for every family instead of tearing down a girl who's fight was made a little easier? As someone who has immediate family who have gone through the exact cancer and procedure, with no help, the guts of 2 full years in a hospital far away from home, that is what my hope would be!
At the beginning the gfm was generated to allow Shannen be accompanied by her partner to treatment, pay for accommodation, rent on the house they are in. As funds grew, she herself came in and said she was thrilled and that the funds would allow her to persue further treatment abroad if a transplant wasn't viable in Ireland.
There was nothing else added to her list of needs at that time while the gfm was growing, being reshared, and promoted.
It took an awful long time for the gfm to be closed. A disgraceful amount was raised.
Literally about 10 days later, a new car was purchased.
Then the #ads started, along with eyelash extensions, nails, clothes hauls, makeup, the list goes on. There was then an additional expenditure wish of ivf treatment where the money might be used. That's fine, but if she came clean and said she gets it free from the state anyway???? The accommodation in Dublin is also covered, but they're preferring to go private accommodation now
During restrictions, she was on holidays, suite break, lunches with friends, dinners out, christening, to name a few. Restrictions tightened, went shopping with mam for new floors and furnishings.
She then comes on and has the cheek to tell people to respect restrictions, when she herself is carrying on like there's no Covid.
So she did spend and splash.
She didn't disclose her intention of expenditure when raising her cash.
And NO stage has there been any ill health been wished upon Shannen. Nobody would want to be in her shoes. Of course she should live her best life. Of course she wants the best for her child.
But transparency is key here.
And also she needs cop on, to the fact she's in a privileged position, there are thousands worse than her. Be respectful and mindful of that.
