Not sure if this has been mentioned but what everyone’s thoughts on the “hope for Harley”

I saw it a while back and it’s heartbreaking but seen so many TikTok’s recently calling the mum out and saying she’s trying to scam people

There's a thread on here about it. Seems a lot of people are realising something doesn't add up

He can go to his dentist and ask for false teeth which will be better than implants. He could probably get them on a payment plan and it would be quicker than saving up and going for implants again!

Has anyone read the story about the autistic 7 year old that drowned while in the care of her childminder? A gofundme was set up for help with funeral costs and now they’re selling T-shirts with the poor girls face on 😩 🤢
I cannot deal with how tacky people are, omg.

Saw a news article about a 22 year old with terminal lung cancer who has a GFM for a treatment in Germany.

It's not certain her early smoking and vaping from age of 15 is the cause but doctors say "it won't have helped".

I think it's her dad who has set the GFM up.

I just feel that if he cared enough about his child maybe he shouldn't have been enabling bad habits from such a young age...

(I am in a bad mood so maybe I am being unkind lol)

It really scares me seeing so many youngsters vaping. Why on earth would you let a child fill their perfect working lungs with god knows what sort of poisons.

Just seen this. This guy originally wanted £30k for a wedding but took it down after getting no donations. He has now got a new one for just £12k so he can spend his birthday with his Fiancé!

He joined a site called Date Asia....met his partner in September. He's been over twice. Now pays her bills, so has little spare cash, but wants the public to fund his next trip over there........ erm, in a word.... NO 😆

It's not acceptable..... hence the gfm currently standing at a grand total of £0 😆

This one has more holes in it than a sieve, but I guess at least it stands out a mile.... he just comes across as a bit .... erm..... not very bright....

It's the clever ones that annoy me more sometimes, as there is a lot of trickery and deception in how they are worded, and they aren't open and honest. They raise a shed load of cash by playing on words and being manipulative.....

There is something icky about the way he says "my little family" over and over.

But you know what, I really want a bedroom make over. I want new fitted wardrobes. Maybe I should forget everything I was taught about saving my own money and just beg for it, seems to be the way of the world now. :sick:

GoFundMe should have some sort of vetting process and disallow the silly crap like this, it makes a mockery of the site.

Yes,I am sure this wasn't the original purpose of these site's,quite why they allow it is ludicrous. But as with anything the company takes their slice of the pie,so don't really give a tit about the reasons. I was going to say the same thing,it's been written to appeal to "little" old ladies I reckon,pulling on the heartstrings,when in fact it does the opposite. At least nobody has donated. I can't believe a newspaper covered the story,but it's good rage bait for them.

Agree, I do feel he may be someone looking for love and easily taken advantage of.

Yes,I bet his little family feel they've hit the jackpot. At least he hadn't lied or made up some elaborate story,but that's why it hasn't worked for him. Honestly doesn't seem to pay as well as deception in most cases.

I saw something pop up on my FB about a house fire in Nottingham over the weekend. The niece has put a beggy post out for her Uncle who has lost everything. But had no insurance 🙄 One of the comments said that they hadn't heard about the fire & were local. She replied that her uncle wasn't up to speaking to ITV yet. It just sounded very suss

One of my work colleagues has married a woman from the Philippines. He thought he was buying a live in cook/cleaner/dutiful wife and she's everything but (which I admire her for)! He admitted on a night out once that he spent well over £75k of life savings by the time he'd been out there a few times to meet, marry and bring her here. She sends all of her wages back to her family so they exist on his wages. Her English is still very poor even though she's been here for 10 years, so she's hard to understand and he has to attend the Doctors/Dentist/Hairdresser/school meetings with her. Drives us mad with his constant leave requests.
